Project Wife Beater.

[olram30]

Taking a break on my jeep and going to work on my wife's 2014 Rubicon X. I picked this particular model for a few reasons. Already has steel bumpers, stubby front bumper. Pretty decent sliders, nice hood and we ordered it with exactly what she wanted. She picked white.
Plan is to upgrade a few things with quality parts. Going to keep this one simple. Here's what it looked like when we got it.

 

[olram30]

Added grabars. These are nice, are work fine for her and the kids to get in.

 

[olram30]

Add rugged ridge hood latches.

 

[olram30]

She wanted this sticker

 

[olram30]

Didn't spend the 400 bucks for the tow package, but add a receiver for the Rubicon X bumper.

 

[olram30]

Scored a brand new factory soft top for a good price.

Clean and functional. Can't go wrong with that combo. :yup:

Someday I will convince SWMBO that she needs a Rubicon:dont_tell:

I also added the evo oil pan skid and transmission skid. Going to order the crossover skid soon. My thoughts are the transmission line needs a skid asap. Guess I deleted the pictures.

She loves her jeep. Our first 2011 was white and she loves the color.

Oh another build thread. :crazyeyes:

 

[olram30]

that's all i've done so far.
future upgrades are,

headlights- truck lights:thumb: been waiting for a heated model, but i don't think that is going to happen soon.

recovery- Warn zeon 10s. winch plate with center plate.

suspension- probably going with rancho 2" sport.

rims- atx chamber 2 pros

tires- either goodyear duratrac, nitto exo grappler or bf goodrich ko2. haven't decided. but would like a 315/70/17. snow rated is a must and would like a d load range.

tire carrier- AEV is the probably what she'll get.

fenders- she wants poison spider, but she'll probably get trimmed factory ones:thumb: i really like young fires cut.

that's about all i have planned for her jeep. nothing major.

Oh another build thread. :crazyeyes:

Disclaimer, I don't actually beat my wife. I'm scared of her. But I always ask her if we're taking her old beater or mine. Plus it's white. Lol

Nothing to be jealous of. I'm just a regular dude with a wife who loves jeeps also, that part I'm lucky. It was almost like waiting for a baby being delivered when she was waiting for it to get off the truck

Lol My wife has come around a lot when it comes to jeeps. I want to get a second one to be able to do family trips and not be "solo". Need to get her to drive off road and really get her wanting her own jeep. Ha!
