My billet rubi build

So shortly after taking those pictures in the desert of flexing the suspension I came across a post from a buddy on facebook. He took off some 35s from his raptor and gave me a sweet deal.

So, needless to say it was a long afternoon mounting up the chamber pros 😁

I was also finally able to put on the evo mud flaps without it looking too goofy.

I love my grabbers, but there a heavy tire, rig is looking good
 
The new tires are a serious aesthetic upgrade! Looks awesome. Congratulations!!:thumb:

And just looked at the first page where you did the stereo. Nice work on that! Did you ever dynamat or foam fill the sound bar? I found that made a huge difference in my sound( also using JL Audio speakers)

I used polyfill and dynaliner inside of the soundbar.
 
Yesterday after work I went around all the bolts and painted marks on them to see if they loosen up. During the process I found a part on the frame that had bare metal from contacting the sway bar.

The round piece on the frame was touching. I shaved it down a little and painted it. Going through some other pictures I saw the same mark on Rubicat when it had the bolt on kit.

I also ordered 4 of the AGM sliders from Northridge which should be here tomorrow.

I'm really curious to hear the difference with those.

Wow you jeep is sick! I can't wait to start a real build like this. What are those sliders? What do they do?

The normal sliders are plastic and are 1 piece. The springs make noise when compressing because they rotate independently of each other. The AGM sliders are machined aluminum and are 2 pieces top and bottom.
 
I took before and after videos of the sliders.

Its a huge improvement while driving down the road and you hit a bump.
 
What a difference! I have to say those videos made me laugh!
Great job! I used silicone spray to quite the ones I had. :)

Wow that is a huge difference. Did you have to remove the coilovers in order to install them?

Did the spray make a huge difference like the sliders do?
