SPORTICON a Sport S built for the Rubicon trail

[tampahoosier]

Awesome job on this build! I've got a Sport S on order and have been contemplating doing 35s and the 2" Mopar lift but wanted to see it on another first so I'm glad I stumbled across this build.

Two questions for you...
Did the 2" lift level out the truck so there is no rake?
Why did you add the 3/4" Front HD Spring Pads to the lift? Do you have any pics of how the truck looks now with that?

Build looks great! I have included my kiddos on jeep projects since they were tiny, and they LOVE to be around the garage. First time I took the exhaust off the Porsche(rear engine), they about lost their mind with enjoyment.

Installed ARB locker switches into my center dash. Cut the plastic out with a rotary tool. The switches are actually front and rear locker. They are mislabeled, i ordered new switch covers from ARB. The pump is wired to always come on for now. I will add an isolation switch in the future.

Installed a new bumper.
This is the Rugged Ridge HD Bumper. With over rider bar.

How much was shipping to Guam for the bumper?

Sorry, I just saw this. 100 for the bumper, 50 for the overrider bar. Total was 650.

Do you have the Alpine radio upgrade?

I've read that it's a major PITA to install speakers if you don't have the upgraded stereo.

Can you give a quick overview on how you installed your subs and dash speakers?

Thank you!

Sure can.

Sure can.

Thanks man!

Do you have the Alpine radio upgrade or the basic 7" radio?

I don't have the Alpine and have heard that it's a PITA to add a sub unless you want to spend a ton of $$

Thread Revival!
In my experience, it is a little hard to connect the air hose to an ARB compressor once it is running (for filling up tires - not in relation to the compressor being used for lockers). You might want to re-wire your compressor so it only comes on when you turn it on. Nice Jeep!

I have it hard wired at the moment still. The pump comes on if the truck is on. Its really a good way. I was going to change it last year but its automatic when i need it I just turn the push start to acc mode. I can then fill the tires if need be.

When I started this build last year, I got so focused on youtube and got away from the forum for a while. I want to get the build back together and I started by updating the first page.

This was my hardtop hoist from May 2020. This was the most fun I had the day I got the Jeep.

Here are the functional hacks I came up with in May of Last year. This was me getting a feel for the things on the Jeep that I could fix right away. There are some really good ones in here. My favorite is the little rubber door handle on the hardtop door for the window defogger harness.

There are tons of things to spend money on. These are not them. Get started with these quick and easy modifications to help you enjoy your Jeep right away. All you need is a trip to the hardware store and some time.

So this Stabilizer relocation kit and Shock need to be ordered for the Gladiator with 1 and 5/8 track bar. Apparently the Wrangler is smaller. When you order the kit for the Gladiator, use the part numbers below. Fox Shocks Steering Stabilizer IFP 98524173 Synergy Manufacturing Part #: 8807-04 This part is for 1 and 5/8 verify before buying. I had to buy this part twice because I got the smaller Wrangler one originally.
