TankJK: My Billet Rubi Build

[OverlanderJK]

Thanks folks. Russ did you take my Jeep off-road?????? I don't recall the mall being that dusty. :crazy eyes:

Maybe it was from the 15 times to make it up this hill.

Good times. Too bad your GoPro didn't catch it :cheesy:

In case anyone needs pointers on installing this bumper with the Powerplant PM me. There were some modifications (expected) and was a bit time consuming.

Looks great. I'm on that road now... :rock:

***EDIT***

I went out to the garage to admire the work I've done and then.............No holes on the top of the bumper for the stinger. Did you have to drill the holes for the stinger?

Yes. I actually mounted the stinger first then the bumper. This made drilling out the holes a lot easier but you need a buddy to lift and hold that bumper/ stinger combo to mount it unless you have a tall enough jack.

If you drill the holes first they won't even line up. Make sure you mount the bumper and stinger then drill the holes. You need to pull the stinger toward the bumper little by little.

what overlander said. I did the first hole(closest to the face of the bumper) and tightened the bolt down on each side. I then did one of the rears and tighened it down then finally the last one.

Looks good! Is your alignment off a tad? Might want to get the tape measure out.....:thinking:

Yes thanks after heading out this weekend I noticed my alignment was off. Will be doing the DIY alignment with the help of the Project-JK write-up.

Took my boys on an overlanding adventure


Today I also trimmed my front fenders about 2 inches more (narrower). I also removed the edge trim and sanded them for a cleaner look.

Fenders look nice.

I've been thinking about cleaning mine up to go without the door trim as well. Hopefully I'll have time before the Rubicon. It's on the long list of things to do/get done.

Thanks they aren't perfect. Could still use some fine sanding and buffing but good enough for government work

Jeep is looking nice man! Good work.
