I worked with a local guy for mine. Really like how they turned out and they seem pretty durable. Buy local!

The diesel engine should really be part of the conversation here. IMO, the 4-door diesel Rubi is the most capable version of the Wrangler. Lots of low-end torque make it great for low-speed crawling over obstacles and allow it to handle increased tire size without regearing (37s on stock 3.73...

Can't take those 6x6 conversions seriously since I saw this video. Hopefully this one was a little more competently done 😂

Rock Sliders: LoD Offroad Signature 4-door Rock Sliders https://lodoffroad.com/products/2018-jeep-jl-signature-series-4-door-rock-sliders I think this is the part I spent the most time researching. There are a *lot* of options out there that advertise rocker protection but don't necessarily...

Tires: Nitto Trail Grapplers, 37x12.50R17LT, load range D https://www.nittotire.com/light-truck-tires/ridge-grappler-light-truck-tire/ These tires are certainly among the heavier brands of tire, but they hold up well on the trails and on the road in just about all the weather I've put them...

Skid Plates: Metalcloak Undercloak Integrated Armor System https://metalcloak.com/undercloak-integrated-armor-system-jl-wrangler-diesel-systems.html These plates are weighty at 235lbs all-in but *solid*. I picked them up because I live in PA and all the offroading around here is rocky...

Now that I'm finished with the planned phase of the build, it's time to put together the build thread for the Badger. I'll be talking about individual parts in follow-up posts, so I'll just go over the base model details here. Model: 2020 JLU Rubicon Diesel Color: Bright White Options: Cold...

I'm actually in a very similar boat. '20 JLURD, 37" Nittos on 17" alloys, stubby steel front bumper with winch, steel rear bumper with tire carrier, MC skids and 3.5" lift, and LoD Signature sliders. I was concerned about weight so I took it to a scale and they measured 5500 (without me in it)...
