Looks nice.

But why did you buy a brand new Rubicon and then immediately replace the axles? Seems like you could of bought a sport, unless you really really like electronic disconnects (which will inevitably fail).

That's one expensive hood decal!

Swaybar disco, 4 to 1 transfer case, I already had the rubi axles sold, and there were interior options in the Rubi that the Sport did not offer.

Great Jeep!
Did you paint or powder coat your evo skins for the tire carrier?

Thanks...Yes, they are powder coated. Not an exact match, but close enough.

Looks great!
how do you like the spyderlocks? btw i really like the black outer ring with the machine finished wheel.
debating between those and slabs... if you have experience with slabs that would be nice too...

I don't have any experience with the Slabs, but I have been told they use the same wheel. The rings are the only difference. Some have reported bending the ring on the Spyderlocks and that causes the wheel to be out of balance.

I like the Spyderlocks so far, but have not hit the rocks yet. I just finished putting the cage last weekend. Saturday will be my 1st trip out.

What brand of cage did you install? Do you have anymore pics of the jeep?

The front half is the Poison Spyder bolt in (we welded part of it) and the back half is the Synergy weld in.

Here a few more pics from today.

Nice photos. Looks like good times except maybe the last one.

Is that your truck and trailer? I have a 2012 RAM 3500 and have been trying to convince the wife we need a goose neck flatbed for it.

Yes it is. I usually haul my Jeep to the trail. It's just a lot easier if I break something.

Didn't take too long to ditch the 37's and move up to 40's did it? What made you switch wheels and tires?

I didn't have enough clearance with the 37's. The Pro Rock 80 is huge.

My Spyderlocks are 18". There aren't many 40" tires that fit on an 18" rim. Live and learn I guess.
