looking for some opinions from the peanut gallery! My Graycie was in a fender bender this weekend and smashed up my front steel bumper. I really like the looks of the Steel bumper and was planning on adding the low or mid grill/winch guard to it. But now I am on the fence. should I take the Insurance money and go aftermarket or stay with stock steel bumper? I really like this one from Smittybilt and it is also modular.

As already stated, the Mopar mud flaps will not work on the Rubicon because of the rock rails and because the fenders are different. Here is an animation I threw together showing the Sport and Rubicon differences. The Sahara would be the same, but comes with side steps and tires in between...

Hey that’s pretty cool. Can you do this now with Sahara steps on a Rubicon? My wife is short and I can get the Moab Performance step rails or Sahara steps because she just like the Jeep factory parts. Her other concern was rock fling and was hoping then Moab steps would help with that.
Thanks

Just an update...

April 22/2019 KLZ status
Completed but not shipped.

I'm also looking for roof rack suggestions? I want to be able to take my top off but still hold a tent? Any products like that on the market? I'm looking at the frontrunner series but I don't see that they make a JP model yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.[/QUOTE/]

Delivered to dealer - April 25th

we went for an easy trail ride at GW Forest and dropped the shield for the first time. Such as an awesome feature we all have:jk:

My Jeep arrived at the dealership on April 24th and I picked it up April 25th. Ended up paying 54k Canadian. Absolutely in love with my first Jeep.

Anyone selling a stingray colored JLU top? Would trade black hardtop and cash.

adding ours to the club. 2019 Moab, and we're loving it. 90F today, and a nice mini run with the sky one touch top. What an awesome rig! I'll have couple a more pics to post shortly... and adding another..

The build so far..

Rock Krawler XFactor 2.5
ARB/OME BP51 Internal Bypass (adjustable compression and rebound)
Steer Smarts Yeti JL Rubicon tie rod
Steer Smarts Yeti XD Draglink w/Griffin Attenuator
Method 106 Beadlock/ Nitto Trail Grapplers 37/12.5/17
Warn 10s and Factor55 fairlead/ultrahook
RSE Power Sliders
TF Adjustable Carrier
Tuffy Security Enclosure
And of course a Tazer to make it all work nicely

She came out better than I hoped and I couldn’t be happier. Mike and Mike from Globex advised and did most of the work (except for a few things I installed myself) and were awesome. Not my first build with them and they didn’t disappoint.

The adjustability on the BP51’s is phenomenal. Was initially a little soft for my taste so I dialed in a bit more compression and found my sweet spot. I’d def recommend them if you’re in the market for a higher end shock.

I do think I’m rubbing the bumper end caps a bit at full lock in reverse, so they’ll end up off

Thankfully I was able to adjust my garage door so she fits after the soft top swap..

Happy Jeepin
Matt

Jeep looks awesome. I have a very similar setup and just wanted to warn you when/if you go offroad the little bulge in the back wheel well will rub really bad. You can take off most of it on each side (just 3 bolts) but the top part will still rub when flexing. If you don't address it and go wheeling hard, you will actually rip them off. Just an FYI for ya.
