ANVIL Rubicon Build- A daily driver story-

[MudVayne]

My son was born a week before I purchased my Anvil Rubicon. I had a silver billet before and adored the look of the Anvils( So I had to switch!). After a 3 years of following some of the Anvil builds I developed an idea for a build that would be a good daily and handle as much of my driving ability could muster lol. Here it goes...

I always adored the Hard Rock hood. So of course I had to get one.

Not a perfect match Yet, I plan to have it resprayed after some more scratches take place.

Then I had to play. Temp tag still on lol

Poison Spyder bumper and Warn 8s was next on the menu.



Ohh, then my wheels showed up.

The Rings came back from powder coating.....


Time to start on my Rock Krawler Flex Mid Arm lift...Bilstein 5100s. I had them on my previous jeep and liked them...

 

[MudVayne]

Nothing like tire stickers!!

Maxxis RAZR 35x13.50s bring out the wide stance, Yet not the rotational mass of a big ole 37.



Slapped some cheap smittybilt fenders on it. Until my investor (wife) clears me for some PS fenders...

 

[MudVayne]

Now the rear PS bumper..and LED's



And I used a sharpie for the entire rear inner fender... Only took 3 days... Kidding

 

[MudVayne]

Ace Front Inner Fenders...Non Sharpie Coated...

No Rubbing!!

 

[MudVayne]

Teraflex front 1/2" puck to get rid of the rake....



Trek Top NX...so much louder then my Premium Soft Top... Yet, who cares its a jeep... it looks cool...

 

[MudVayne]

G2 Gussets and EVO Truss...and Fox ATS... Which I highly recommend.. Yet, I probably will go Hydro someday...(already forgetting its a daily driver build lol)



Next is 37x13.50 toyos....Diff covers, Gears and PS fenders...

So far I love this jeep..and I will probably have to start another daily driver build by the time I'm done..:rolleyes2:

Play time...

Sweet Rig!!! Those 35x13.5’s look way more stout than a 12.5... any negatives? Rubbing? Turning issues?

No issues, No rubbing...they ride a little rough being E class. Yet, so worth it when parked next to a 12.50 tire..Don't use tire beads. They ruined the ride quality. A normal weight balance worked. Yet, for how long on my beadlocks is the question...will they stay balanced.

As you can see the Warn Cover lasted around a month even with the sunscreen spray "they include"...isappointed:



So I just got this Bartract cover. Really awesome quality and has a flap to access the spool and winch line easily.
