Same color as my JTR. I fancy 37"s but the responsible part of me say 35" tops. I had a money set aside for lift, fifteen52 Metrix HD and 35" but today my wife made me use that money to redo our deck in redwood, trex and put a roof over it. So there goes that. The Geo brackets from JKS are for...
Probably going to do the same to my new to me Rubicon since I traded the Willys last Monday. I'm contemplating stacking TF spacers to get 2" up front and add Daystar 3/4" to the back (already have them laying around). I would do an adjustable track bar since I can't stand the axle shifting to...
To be fair many of the other brands also have low cost entry level lifts that will have customers chasing their tails to fix the terrible ride. I wouldn't call basic components garbage. Shock extensions are almost identical throughout, same goes for cam bolts, spacers, sway bar links, etc.. For...
Not sure why all the hate on RC. Too many snobs expecting Metal Cloak quality at one third the cost. What do you expect? Lobster for the price of shrimp. There are probably more RC lifts out there than all ofter brands combined and if it were that bad they would have been out of business decades...
Honestly, the Willys name should have been used for the top of the line Wrangler/Gladiator since the name carries more pedigree, historical significance and nostalgia.
On the Willys, I lost half of the under seat storage space when I installed a 6" Bass Tube and amp. The little sub does help quite a bit. For the dash speakers I went with Infinity Reference and it improved the sound a lot...
I'm actually impressed with the Alpine system. I was expecting a slight improvement over the stock system but it does sound much better. Bass is good, not earth shaking, but sufficiently good. Well, I'm a 52 year old guy but still enjoy bass but not neighborhood terrorist bass.
Forecast has snow for tomorrow. April here tends to be chilly in the mornings and nights. We only get 4-5 months of warmer weather here. We've had days where the forecast has it clear and sunny but we end up with snow. ?‍♂️
I looked left and right for a Sarge Rubi and found one but pretty plain. Cloth and no cold weather pack. I live in the southwest but at 7,300 feet in elevation and it gets cold here that is why heated seats and steering wheel are a must.
My reasoning behind trading in for a Rubicon, besides them being cooler and nicer, I calculated around $12-13k if I wanted to get the Willys to the level of this Rubi. It would have taken much more than the difference I paid for the Rubi. I gained leather, cargo management, locking storage under...
Sad to see it go. Sarge green is my favorite color. But not all is lost! In its place we got a Gladiator Rubicon pretty loaded. ?
Will start working on installing the metal bumper and winch I took off the Willys and a bunch of other goodies. Now I need to make up my mind on lift or level.
Ford, meh! Up until I retired last year, our fleet mostly consisted of F-150 and Explorers. Worst ergonomics of any vehicle I've driven. The EcoBoosts weren't very reliable and a few of them left our agents stranded in the field doing covert operations due to transmission failures and loss of...
I have one of those bumpers. The one I got I ordered through eBay. It's been on the Jeep since October been through winter and so far no signs of rust anywhere. Luck of the draw I suppose. They are well built and beefy.
So I pulled the trigger on a used '21 Rubicon Stingrey 3.6 with 40k miles at $40k. I got $3k more for my trade vs the local dealer. The JTR is pretty loaded with hardtop, leather, cold weather pack, active safety, cargo management and locking storage, 8.4" radio /Alpine system, led pack...
