I enjoy reading everyone's builds and figured I needed to get my JEEP story out there.
What's in the name? Part of my Last Name + Rubicon = Kubicon ("koob") / This is the third and last (LOL) until I get another.
The History
40 Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZ, with Method 108 Beadlock wheels
38 Ridge Grapplers, with ICON Rebound Pro's and Front Fender Chop
w/lift and BFG KM3 37's - Stock XR Rims
Kubicon v3 before lift
What's in the name? Part of my Last Name + Rubicon = Kubicon ("koob") / This is the third and last (LOL) until I get another.
The History
- Kubicon v1: (2014 JKU Sport) I was not too fond of the manual and wanted a real Rubicon; I didn't know much about JEEPS had a TF Lift without any CA's; it was borderline dangerous to drive over 60mph, hence getting V2.
- Kubicon v2: (2018 JKUR) The build where I learned a ton, did everything myself. The build took a turn south when I swapped out a JKS Lift which rode great for an MC 3.5+ all MC steering. I developed a Shimmy/Vibration/Wobble issue. I finally gave up, took advantage of the used car prices, and hung up my JEEP hat "for good." (This was Oct 2021) LOL!
- Brief Period of Insanity: Oct 2021 to JAN 2022 I bought an LR Defender thinking this would be the answer: Luxury, Great Off-Road, and all the tech. Don't get me wrong, it was nice, but it wasn't fun to drive.
- Kubicon v3: I wasn't in the market but saw this "in transit" on the Jeep site, blah blah, and here we are. I had to promise the wife I wasn't going to "mess" this one up. "Hey Wifey, this has everything - 35's, Gears, Brakes, Wheels, Steel Bumpers. I won't need to spend any money upgrading."
Famous last words!
