im jsut on 2m with 37's.........
I took the roof off the other day and went for a drive and there is one part in the carpark that misses ohhhhhhhhh so much... so knowing my luck Id get it, put it on and then HAVE to get another spot.
So for now will rethink
Bit of an update and a massive change, Im selling my Jeep…. Don’t worry Im buying another one before Jambo but I need to sell mine and will advertise in carsales, ebay, here and other forums too…. Why??
Ive always wanted a BIG Jeep (I found a spot to park this one), with BIG power and work has been going really well (why you haven’t seen me in a while) so Im buying a 2012 Jeep Rubicon 4 door in black, hoping for leather interior, sat nav from Jeep, hard top, tint, etc… but Im talking with Quadratec and Clayton offroad and a few others and should have by June
From Clayton…
4.5” Long arm (front), Short arm kit (rear) kit
Bilsten remote reservoir shocks
Bilsten steering stabilizer
1350 Tom woods drive shafts
From Quadratec…
Dynatrac Pro rock 60 front and rear axles with ARB air lockers 4.88 diff gears
ORO air release sway bar
Teraflax from and rear speed bumps
Mickey Thompson 17X9 Black classic II rims
Teraflex front winch bar
Rockside Engineering rear tyre carrier bar and rock sliders
Bushwacker Flares
Warn 9.5Ti Winch with plasma rope
AEV heat reduction bonnet
AEV Snorkel (need to modify the flares but Ill sort it)
Poison Spyder JK Light bar
50” Rigid LED Light bar
Truklite LED lights, parkers and tail lights
Truklite LED work and under car lights
Rancho Bar doors
Smittybuilt netting
AEV Hemi pack
From American Hemi Speed Centre
SRT-8 6.1L Hemi
From Double Back offroad…
Front and rear trackbars and brackets
Steering correction kit
From ARB...
Longranger Long range tank - needed with V8 I think, might be some custom work needed but we'll see
ARB Recovery kit
Then will need custom exhaust and custom air box for snorkel, Mickey Thompson MTZ 37” tyres and Im sure Im missing something but...
Ive spoken to everyone except Double back offroad, getting engine here first and then the rest… have to wait 6 weeks for new Jeep so will be a lengthy process but the end result is my ultimate Jeep Ill probably have for ever… Will keep you guys informed with pics along the way
& if you know someone who wants my current one, let me know
Looks like an awesome buildCant wait to see this up and running at Jambo.
Cheers

can i ask why the bushwhakers? why the short arms in the rear? and why the rubicon in general? apart from the transfer case.... youre changing the diffs, the swaybar etc...... so all that will set it apart will be the TC? unless im missing somthing?
would beadlocked wheels not be a better option?
again im just asking, i hope you dont take offence to my questions.......
seems like a sweet build, who is doing the work for you?

www.claytonoffroad.com have the short/long arm kit and everything I have heard and seen they are brilliant kits from there and on road are still really good.
Ill sell everything I take off the Rubicon, but why not... the transfer case is unreal and there are a few little things you also get with the Rubicon over the Sport
Ive research this build for 2 years now and was originally going to do it to mine but thought a Jeep with 0Km would be better... Ill do a lot myself engine wise I have a mate that build racing engines and has an unreal workshop so he'll help there and another mate right in to suspension so he'll help there... Should save a bit doing most of it ourselves.
ah fair enough...... i would have though with differnt style flares, such as dbor, or xenons you can get away with less wift for the tires....but its personal choice at the end of the day.... i dont think you will have any issues seeling your take offs...... also any reason youve gone with 4.88's over 5.13?
I was talking to Greg (Skizzi) a while ago and he has 37's and thinks 4.88 are to tall and said he would of gathered 4.56, the dynatrax axles are tough and after lots of research the 4.88 with the Hemi seems the way to go
Yea had 4.88s on 35s at one stage. Switched to 4.56s... And then went 37s... Perfect!
I'm talking about diesel models though.
With 4.88s I found it too revvy and it would rev straight through its power band without creating enough load to get good "pull". It's a turbo thing!
Ahhh sorry I thought you had petrols.
