My bad, you referred to your Rubi as great. Glad you like your ranger. Lighten up a bit, it’s a jeep forum, anyone leaving the family for any other brand should expect some ribbing.
Do not chop. Get a proper lift and fit 37’s easily. Going the chop route makes your fenders and wheel well liners look butchered and the accompanying spacer lift is not the right way to gain clearance. For a level it’s fine but if the goal is to fit larger tires, get a legit designed lift kit...
Yes the bolt to both the body and the frame. The primary attachment is via the huge bolts that Mount the body to the frame. There are also numerous bolts that attach to the pinch weld along the bottom of the tub. There’s zero risk of tweaking the tub by jacking or strapping on the sliders.
great points. With 37’s and 5.13 gears the dealership is going to know something is up regardless. At some point it’s time to accept responsibility and stop trying to hide (lie)the fact that you’ve modified your vehicle.
I have the exact same tires and run them at 28 psi. I tried 30 to see if the steering would feel any tighter but it doesn’t and the tires aren’t as flat across the entire tread area.
You’re a nicer guy than I would have been! I can’t believe he had the balls to ask especially using the old “my wife said no” excuse. Hope you find another buyer quickly.
what is the issue with the flush tail lights mount breaking? Have not heard of this issue. Your comment would seem to indicate it’s universal, truth?
The heavier rear part is supported by the straps wrapping around the corner and going underneath. The front is light. Mine was off all last summer snd had no issues this winter once I put it back on.
Nice looking. Tell us about the exhaust. Most exhaust mods go very bad and end with horrible drone or a cobbled together exhaust system trying to minimize the drone while making the JT sound like a cam’d BBC. If someone can figure out the JT to make something that actually has a deep throaty...
A Rubi bumper isn’t that heavy and won’t make any noticeable difference. Even a 12k winch didn’t make any difference on mine. I suggest do it all at once. Glad to help. Let me know when. Got a couple events this month but will help if available for sure
