How are you liking the synergy long arm?
There's a guy selling one here new for stupid cheap ($600).

Do you have any photos of that Recon 44?
I'm curious what's different, couldn't find much for photos online.

The Recon comes with the Dana "Ultimate 44" axle with thicker tubes and forged ends so I just kept those...

Yeah, I knew it was beefier than a standard Rubi 44 but I haven't seen one in person yet. Do you plan to wheel it pretty hard, or is it a mall crawler? No shame if it's a mall crawler, to each their own. I'm just curious to see how that Ultimate 44 will hold up with 37s in the long run IF you do plan to beat on it.

Good looking Jeep! :thumb:

The plan is to beat on it pretty good, but to just be careful with the tall skinny pedal.
Hopefully it will hold up...If not, I would probably just move to a 60.

Really clean build!

Skip the hydro assist and just do the new XD box from PSC. Way less hassle and works amazingly well.

Very nice. You have a well thought out, cohesive build. One of the nicer two doors IMO. I love that new rubicon hood sticker and it goes well with the rest of your theme.
