As a fan of function over form, I really dig this build. Your Molle panes make it even better.


A little wider (spdertrax 1.75), a little taller (Rubi take-offs + TerraFlex 1.5 lvl kit and rear .75 Daystar + Cooper Evolution 285s), nothing crazy. Still rolling on 3.73 gears, so this is where I'll sit for a while. Until I can redo gears and such I'm focusing on the bed upgrades, I put in bedrails and MOLLE panels, I want to add BillyBars and a RTT over the winter.
Got my Sport S back in March of 2020

That second picture is a perfect representation of what Jeep owners can do with/to their vehicles, and where it can take them. Great looking setup.

was chatting with Artec this past weekend at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff. What do think of their stuff ?

Rig looks great!
I love it. Huge weight savings and it still protects the underside. I have dragged this Jeep over many, many obstacles and rocks. The plates are still in great shape. I also have their trusses, gussets, diff covers, and lca skids.

Cool. Appreciate the feedback. They had a set up on a Glad and Taco on display. Solid stuff indeed And seems to be a pretty straight forward install.

Will be checking them out soon. ????
