Been meaning to do this for a while now but, we finally got RubiCAT over to Off Road Evolution so that it can get EVO'd UP!! Here are a few shop pics highlighting its transformation. :thumbsup:

Getting our very first holes drilled into RubiCAT...

We're still waiting on Rocker Guards to finish it up but, even without them, I think it looks pretty badass...

After hacking off all the factory control arm mounts and cleaning up the frame rails, it's time to start burning in some EVO high clearance long arm mounts...

Not sure if it'll work but, we thought we'd try to see if we could get a 2007-11 PSC ram assist to work on a 2012...

Why did they paint the hardward on the draglink flip kit?

none of the brackets were poweder coated and so everything got painted once installed. :yup:

Insane!

RubiCAT is turning into a formidable force to be reckoned with :thumb: The new EVO coilover setup looks like its a very simple, straight forward system. Congrats on all the new ORE kit!

I'm very interested in those Evo bolt on coilover mounts! Any word on release date?

As soon as it's all installed on Rubicat, it should be available for sale. The kit has been done for a while now and they're just using Rubicat to do some final tweeking and making sure it'll work with a 2012.

Awesome!! So I'm guessing RubiCATs going to Moab?

Well, the plan was to take both our JK's out but, we may just take one or the other now due to gas prices. I guess it'll depend on how much time we have to test out Rubicat and work out any bugs there might be.

Not quite as formidable as Moby or your JK but, definitely a force to be reckoned with. EVO is making this kit to be an entry level coilover system. It'll still perform way better than any standard kit out there but, shy of what the double throwdown with EVO lever can do. The benefit of it will be in price savings which will be substantial.

Nice! As soon as its available I'll be ordering the front mounts, and maybe these new rear mounts and coilovers. Can't wait to see pics of the rear!

:thumb:WOW! thats coming together nicely. I hope to see you on the trail one day to check it out in person. My next destination is D60s and coilovers. I have used some EVO products and I must say, They are precise and very heavy duty! I will definately be giving Mel a call when I'm ready. Awesome project Eddie, I will be following this build:rock:
