Rubi Recon

[jeme]

My check is arriving tomorrow and I was a customer of Nationwide when I filled out the forms. I switched to another insurance company since then.

Thanks so what proof did you provide - when you apply on line it asks for verification of the qualifying organization.

I had to submit a copy of my insurance card.

But it did not have to be Allstate? Thanks so much!

I said in my previous post that I had Nationwide insurance. I've never been an Allstate customer. My check showed up today, a day early... Woohoo!

Step 1: PUSH IN ALL FUSES!!!! All of mine were loose.

After Jeme's post I checked my fuses. I would guess more than half of them were not seated all the way in.

@jeme, thanks for the heads-up on this!

Here's some more pics of the Baja Designs LP4's. They have a very cool feature that allows for an amber backlight/DRL. It's visible during the day and way cool at night...

Look for some video soon on Expedition Builds-YouTube.

Question. Is the Rubicon recon lift any higher than the regular rubicon model? Also how much higher is a Rubicon that a sport or sahara?

Anybody know?

I have read that the Rubicon springs are 1"-1.5" longer than on the Sahara. I've also read the Recon sits 1" higher than the Rubicon.

I have no way to verify if the Recon/Rubicon differences if any.

Alright, some details of my build are becoming more clear.

Here's my current thinking for Phase 1 of the build:

- MetalCloak 3.5" Game Changer Lift
- Fuel Covert Beadlocks
- Nitto 37x12.50/17 Ridge Grapplers
- Falcon SP2 3.3 Shocks
- SpeedBumps - Which Brand?
- Steering Stabilizer - Falcon Nexus 2.2 or Fox 2.0 ATS
- Steering Linkage - RPM Steering 2.5 ton
- Artec Full Aluminum Skid System

For bumpstops, looking at Fox or King. I'm leaning towards the King 2.0. Anybody have any experience with either?

A few more mods getting done and parts arriving. So I can carry my kayak, I installed the Rhino-Rack Vortex SG59. Quality seems great, impressed with the beafyness of the parts.

The cross bars run completely quiet courtesy of the 'Vortex' inserts. I'll post a video review on my YouTube channel after I get some time spent running it. Stay tuned!
