edit: apologies if this is in the wrong section, I’m realizing I maybe misunderstood “staging area”. If the mods can move this thread, please feel free. ...and now I found the thread here, guess this isn't a new idea! https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...n-sport-s-and-rubicon-suspension.17918/page-6
Hey y'all! Drove my Sport S off the lot just two months ago, and already feeling like I've got the itch to do some work on this and take it on the trail.
I started getting pretty overwhelmed with all the equipment I need to buy just to get 35" tires on this thing, but then I got the advice that it might be pretty easy to find a shop or someone that upgraded their Rubicon and just has a junk bin of cheap or even free take off parts otherwise headed for a landfill. Has anyone else done this?
For take-offs I guess I would need:
- JTR suspension (springs, shocks, sway bar links, control arms, right?)
- JTR or JLR front fenders (maybe JTR rear fenders, JTR front bumper?)
- JTR rock sliders
- Stock rubicon wheels (presumably these will hit the wallet more than the others)
Then I would just get 35" tires and a 2" spacer lift online.
What do you think? Will it work? Know anyone in the Chicago area have any of these that they're trying to get rid of?
