We took delivery of our 2018 JLU Rubicon a couple weeks ago.
As far as specs its a 2018 JLU Rubicon with just about everything you can add to it. That's what happens when you tell the dealer to get one coming, they check all the boxes on the order sheet! LoL!
We left it stock for the first week to let everybody get a chance to drive it and see how it rides and drives. The comments were interesting and favorable, mostly praising how smooth the ride is and how cool the U-connect and dash display is. The back-up camera received a ton of comments too.
But it had to happen sooner rather than later, so after months of waiting to get this bright red beauty, it was time to start modding it.
Our first mod was to bolt-up a set of 37s on it stock. Yep, what the heck, just for grins, let's bolt a set of 37s on....
They fit, but they also bump and rub when you were driving it, definitely would not work for any sort of off road driving. Surprisingly though the tires cleared when steering lock to lock. Wow, good job Jeep!
Another bonus was the new electric power steering system. It handled the 37s without any issues. Very nice and smooth and no discernible difference in steering resistance.
We've only just started, follow along as we have some fun building up this Red Rubi!
