First thing is take the Top off and give my Boys a ride to La Jolla and drive the coast line. Then to Anza Borrego for some desert driving. Probably take tons of photos and videos too:like:

Topless as soon as this Ohio weather breaks!

35’s, 2” lift, front bumper hoop, tailgate reinforcement, spare tire carrier, grab handles and light bar all pending part availability. It looks like the new lift requires a +12mm offset which isn’t available in the wheels I want.:angry:

My wife saw the silver JLU Rubi at the dealership tonight. She loved it, but told me to get 35s and the lift IMMEDIATELY. Guess we know what's first!

Is the Mopar lift even available yet?

Not yet. Just talked to my dealer’s parts guys about it last week. They can’t find any info on it yet. I’ve read somewhere that it’s supposed to be available by March 1st.

Ok. I may see how 35s look without a lift while waiting on it.

Are you putting 35’s on the stock Rubi rims, or buying aftermarket rims? The reason I ask is I’m wondering what offset you will get. Based on the Mojito build, you need +12mm with the Mopar 2” lift. Not sure what the offset is on the stock rims. Thx.

Stock, optional Rubi wheels. I think they'll be just fine, because the axles are wider on the Rubi, so that should take care of it if the backspacing, if the rims are the same dimensions as for other models. If not, I'll run spacers, if necessary, because I like those optional Rubi wheels so much. I looked again at a silver Rubi on my dealer's lot. No doubt they'll fit and look great, even without the lift. I just want that lift because it will get me more breakover angle at virtually no deterioration of driveability. That's such a mild lift that it doesn't put much additional angle on the control arms.

I’d like to get some taillight guards to protect the proximity sensors. Has anyone seen them?
