AZ LJ Rubi Build

[Moabbnd]

Wow I love the LJs wish I could find a Ruicon Auto near me I'd get it in a heartbeat. I'm subscribed keep up the pics.

I had an 03 TJ Rubicon auto years ago. The auto is only good if it has been taken care of, regeared for larger tires, and has a strong transmission cooler. Otherwise they are week and the Overdrive is terrible. Hence the reason why I got the 6 speed

Currently getting it ready for Moab, which is next week. Should be a good time!

We will be there the 15th-21st

Bad Ass!! Been for a LJ for a while as a project, but damn they ain't cheap.

That's good infomation to know. Thanks for the heads up

They really aren't, especially a rubi. But there are deals out there. Just have to jump on it when you find one

Odd question but can one of your dogs fit behind the seat when its up. Thinking of selling my JKU and getting an LJ but need room for 4 people and a bull mastiff lol

I've never had them in with the back seat in position. IMO the room behind the seat isn't enough, especially for a mastiff. The JKU would be better for the 4 + dog

I didnt think there would be.

Good looking build.

Well, I sold my other TJ finally after 1.5 years of trying to sell it. That pays the LJ off!

Ordered Bilstein 5100s for the rear to replace the leaking RE shocks. Also installed a set of RE superflex front upper control arms that I got a screaming deal on. I picked up the rear uppers in the deal too, but they need to be rebuilt and rethreaded or sleeved and weld a JJ on there to make them work. That much closer to the Savvy Tummy Tuck

Also, Got back from Moab a little while ago. Great time!! the March 2016 trip is already being planned

Wired up 10 9w led rock lights for AZ night wheeling. I have 2 more I could use once I find a place to put them

 

[Moabbnd]

Better pictures once I took it outside. I'm satisfied with these

 

[Moabbnd]

Toys by troy stinger/radiator hoop bumper installed today. I need to modify the winch plate to mount the winch

 

[Moabbnd]

Scored a set of Coverking black neoprene seat covers for a quarter of the cost on eBay. I was going to get Trekarmor covers in the future, so we'll see how long these last

 

[Moabbnd]

Raised winch plate installed along with the lopro roller and winch. Tight fit! Fortunately didn't have to use it this weekend in San Diego :thumb:

 

[Moabbnd]

Not much going on as of lately, but I did replace the mangled stock exhaust with a Magnaflow muffler. Also siped the grooved wildpeaks to gain a little more traction

 

[radleyhardy]

always good stuff coming in from AZ :clap2:

 

[Moabbnd]

I won an Actionpacker over at Jeep-owner, so that came in yesterday. Nice sturdy bin for storage! Fit a ton of stuff that was loose in the back before. Been looking into the Swag mounts to securely mount it
