No Name 2dr JK Rubicon

[TheCaliforniaJeep]

Sold my previous JK in 2018 when we were expecting our third child. Now in 2024, it is time to build another JK. I found a great deal on a 2010 Rubicon 3.8L with 75,000 miles. This is my first time owning a Jeep that is not my daily driver. I’m slowly removing, and selling, all the previous owners modifications to make room for my own. You can follow the progress on Instagram as well @TheCaliforniaJeep

Here is a photo the day I bought it…(lots of Smittybilt )

 

[TheCaliforniaJeep]

Removed and sold the hardtop, front bumper, rear bumper, fender armor, side steps, angry grill, cargo cage….

 

[TheCaliforniaJeep]

Added a 1/4 pounder EVO bumper, rear EVO bumper delete, soft top, synthetic winch rope, and factory half doors will arrive next week…

Doesn’t even look like the same jeep anymore! Great job on the transformation! I was a little worried when I saw the first picture posted and actually thought you liked that style lol

It was hard but I could see past all the Smittybilt accessories when I bought it.

Huh, is it just me or does that look A LOT like my EVO carrier?

It does. I guess VKS had a big liquidation sale when they sold the business. Some of these prototype tire carriers were sold then

Sure a lot was copied but, he’s not in business anymore.

Huh, had never heard of VKS.

Anyhow, the Jeep looks great! Looks a lot like mine

Looks much better.did the VKS carrier take 6 weeks ?

It is the same, except the logo says VKS, so maybe they can charge more.
