Hello Guys,
I need some advices for the modification of My JEEP.
I've just order my first Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, last week. I should receive it around February 25 (Just can't wait!!!!). I've order a Sahara, I know I should I've gone for the Rubicon, but for personal and weird reasons, that I do not totally control... Bottom line: I had to go for the Sahara (but I took all the possible options available to help the Off Road process).
Here is the configuration of the JEEP I order:
- JKU Sahara 2013;
-Engine: 3.6L Pentastar™ VVT V6;
-Max Tow Package = 3.73;
-Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle;
-Automatic transmission;
-The rest no need to mention, for the purpose of this post.
The 2 main differences between the SAHARA and RUBICON are:
-Tires (can be easy be fixe just need to know what configuration I want to go with…);
-4.10 Rear Axle Ratio, I’ll probably need to change it depending on the wheel size I’m going to need for the first transformation (even if I know I’ll need a differential ratio of at least 5.38 for my phase 2: 40 inches rock crawler version);
-Electronic sway bar disconnect and Dana 44 heavy-duty solid front axles.
I intend to go with a 2 phases modification:
Phase 0: For all the Basic Stuff (during the first year):
-Radio (CB);
-Extra lights;
-Winch;
-Back wheel Rack;
-Snorquel;
-Etc.
Phase 1: Soft Off Road Beginner version (one reason I want to go with that is to get some good experience on the basic off road. The Jeep club that exist in my area, want no too much modified Jeep, so I have to keep it to a Basic modification- 1 yr from now).
Intent: Want to catch up on the RUBICON version, and upgrade my wheel size to a mid version.
:standing wave:One of my main effort on that, is to get is equivalent of the Electronic sway bar disconnect and Dana 44 heavy-duty solid front axles. All that and trying to minimize the lost of parts for the phase 2, not easy I know.
Phase 2: 40 inches rock crawler version (2yrs from now): :rock:
Intent: Easy looking for a version close to what Moby is. Money is not really an issue.
Concerns:
-Need to look at the regulation on the Jeep modification allow on the laws of Quebec/Canada.
-I need a quick look on the fuel consumption; it’s not really a concern. I just need an idea, for pacification purposes (since I’ll have to find a new club and travel a lot).
-When I’ll be ready for this I’ll need a good place to do these, even if I have to travel 1300k to do them, because not a lot of place here are use to do these here.
What is my question is what do you suggest for my phase 1? And why? I do not have a lot of knowledge in this so basically I need your brain to help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
I know it’s a big question, but my mind is really set, and I do not want to make mistake that it’s going to cost me a lot.
