Looks good.

And it looks like Teraflex stopped putting the threads in the center of their arms......

[BENDER]

Looks good John!

Dang, already a new whip! Didn't you sell the 3 for a 2wd taco? Either way, nice to see you back in something you can wheel

Yah, sold the H3 for a TRD Taco which I had for only 13 months. The Taco just wasn't me. Felt like I was driving a rental car.
Love this JK Rubicon! Can't wait to add some desert dirt to it and take a trip to Moab!

LOL that's a good way to put it. I looked at getting one a while back, and rental car for sure. I'm still in the alpha, and probably will be for a while.

Boobicon looks good though, i am quite jealous! Are you dd'ing this? What are your plans for armor?

If I had the Alpha, I would keep it for a while also!

Yah, this is my DD until I can afford a Cadillac as a DD.

It's a toss up for armor between Genright and Poison Spyder right now. First I want to get a rear bumper and tire carrier with Hilift and gas can mounts. Then I will work on lights and skid plates.

I absolutely love this JK, so many options to customize them. Love driving door and top less also!

[Bellvis]

Some recent updates....

OR-Fab front and rear bumper and spare tire carrier with Rotopax and HiLift mounts.
DirtBagz side storage.
PowerTank mount for my 10lb CO2 tank.
SmittyBilt seat covers with Molle bags. Waiting to install the rear molle tailgate piece till after rear LED lights are wired.
Flat Fenders - cut down the stock (No more rear rubbing of the 37s!)
Had T&J Performance out of Orange, CA build up their race spec front axle truss, skid plates and gussets. They will do my rear axle in the next few months.

LED lights going on in the next few months.

Nice lookin' rig ya' got there, bud. Had a chance to regear for those 37's yet?

edit: NVM. Just saw you did G2 5.38's. Kinda wishing I'd have geared that deep myself. I went with Yukon 5.13's myself.

What's your s/n on JKO?

[Brandon]

Looks good Jon!

How does it tow that boat?

[dirk379]

Dang that's clean, the weather doesn't look too bad either.

Now i'm jealous of both

Thanks! The 5:38s are definitely the way to go with 37s! It now does 0-60mph in 18 seconds!

S/N on JKO is Bellvis also.

Weather has actually been in the high 50s during the day! I love it while others think they are freezing!

They have Hemi v8 conversions ya know.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm........ new Bilstein 5160 reservoirs......

It seems like everyone ditches the factory Rubi wheels when they upgrade tires. 37s look sweet on the Rubi wheels

[Bellvis]

Got to flex out the new Bilstein 5160s running the Nightmare Gulch and Last Chance Canyon trail this weekend.

Somehow managed to rip off my front drive shaft boot.

Thanks!
I love the look also. Its like a sleeper Fast and Furious car.

[badhoopty]

looks just like a 1:1!





(i know its a 1:1...)

[Tommy R]

Great looking rig! Do you mind if I ask for details on your CO2 roll bar mount? I've been looking for something like that for mine.

[Sh0rtBus]

You guys have some awesome places to wheel there in CA.

The driveshaft boot (Im' assuming front) tears easily when you flex just the right way. Usually catches on the corner of the trans pan on rigs w/ automatic. That's what happened to mine and in turn, it caused a small trans leak because it bent the corner of the pan just a tad. Haven't done anything about it since it happened well over a year ago, but I could probably fix the leak with silicone. I'll handle that when it comes time to do a trans service.

Only real fix for to keep it from happening again, though, is a smaller diameter drive shaft. I'll be looking at Adams when the time comes.

Main reason I did was because yeah, I wanted something that looked better, but the offset is better, too. I would've had to buy spacers otherwise, and my wife is not a fan of paying for something twice. So a new set of wheels was my best bet.
