Are you afraid you'll forget what color it is?

Just want to make sure EVERYONE else knows what color it is!

Actually, I mostly like the stingrays.

You can fit both 33s and 35s with no level kit. On 35s you won't have much space if you are off-roading. So if that is a concern you may want to do a level kit.

Here is mine with the stock suspension on 33s and stock wheels

Here is 33s with stock wheels, Rubicon front springs and max tow rear springs.

IMHO, Jeep has been very hit or (mostly) miss with their yellows over the years, but I like this one.

How do you like those steps? Wife thinks I need some.

I'm a little late to the party, had mine for a few months now. Minimal mods, 2.5 inch leveling kit (Rough Country) Decals (Vent, hood, Bed, tailgate), added a second rear tow hook (the lack of symmetry was killing me), Painted all tow hooks (I thought I was being original, didn't know Jeep was doing blue on the Rubicon Hybrid). And the last one, all ready to fish!

This might be my favorite blue 'accent' mod...

^ What paint are you using to color fill that? I bought an oil based Sharpie for mine and have to touch it up more than I'd like.

How much lift did the rubicon front springs give you? Im not looking to change the back springs, just want a little more leveled out look. Did you go to a wider tire also? Running wheel spacers?

That Nacho color is sweet.....

Just a generic oil based paint pen. Takes maybe 5 coats first time, but has held up OK so far.

Thanks. Don't know if it's my shoe tread or what, but I'm having to do touch up once a week on mine.

They look like mine

I did mine with paint pen from Walmart months ago and they still look perfect. I roughed them up slightly with sandpaper first

 

[Blue Ridge]

Wishing I'd done that now. It crossed my mind too; I just figured the rubber was porous enough to not need it.

Any chance you have a true side shot that’s not taken on an angle? Trying to decide if I want to go with the RC 2.5 level kit. I’ve read that for some it made their truck nose high which I don’t really care for. Thanks in advance if you have another pic to post.

Ill try and get you one. It seems you need a 2 inch front lift to be perfectly level, the RC is 2.5. Now they do sell one that has a 1/2 inch rear lift with it.... It's close enough that it looks level to the eye on level ground.

I have heard that as well. I think teraflex makes a 3/4 inch rear spacer? Either way I’m sure some company out there offers a small rear spacer to bring you back to level or maybe a small bit of rake

When I measured my wheel gap with my Jeep sitting level, the the 1.5 inch would get me within a half inch of sitting perfectly level. Close enough for me, and I do tow a small trailer periodically. But a 2 inch would be perfect.

Don't measure wheel gap, the front fenders are generally more open than the rear, measure frame rail to ground.
