Time for my JK to Evolve - Highoctane Anvil '15 Rubicon Unlimited build

[Peak]

Awesome rig man, It came out great!

Tired bigger than a toddler...check. Congrats man. Looking forward to seeing some trail pictures.

Thanks everyone! It truly is badass. The suspension is very firm but Mel and Drew both said to drive it for a month to let the suspension settle and break in before adjusting anything. They did warn me that it may be a bit stiff at first. As for the steering, it's excellent. True one finger effort while towing a 4x8 uHaul trailer on the freeway at 60mph. It's also tall, need to see about taking some preload out of the springs.

My biggest observation? It needs a V-8!

I really love the look of the builder corners. Amazing jeep and I'm sure you will make great use of it

Umm you don't have any preload left to take out.

Yeah, the pic of the jeep on the lift at full droop appears to be at zero preload already

 

[wayoflife]

SWEET!! Can't wait to see it out on the trails :thumb:

 

[compoint]

Okay let's see how she fits in the garage

Looking at the front coilovers I have about 3/4" more that I can lower it, if that. Def not a lot. Hoping the winch drops it a bit as well.

 

[mudmobeeler]

Sweet! Congrats on the new mods!

 

[highoctane]

Fender flare trim complete. Much better now.

Here's the pic showing how much adjustment I have left to try to lower the front end a bit. It's more like a 1/2". Not a lot. Good news is it does fit in the garage.

That won't lower your jeep at all.
