2021 Rubicon Diesel: Colorado Livin!

[MikeT987]

Picked up my JLUR diesel a couple weeks ago. This is my first Jeep, and I've previously had F-150s with the last being a Raptor. The Raptor is pretty cool, but when it comes down to the type of off roading in Colorado I want to do, it's simply too big (not to mention very big around the city).

I don't want to go crazy with it just yet, as I think it can get me most places I want to go as is. That being said, I do like to customize my vehicles!

Current mods:

Gibson Leatherworks phone holder
(Old) dog hammock/cover for the boss
Method 702s with 315/70R17
GPCA Grips
MetalCloak Tire Carrier
Hotheads headliners
ARB twin compressor with M.O.R.E. mount
Steer Smarts sector shaft brace
Metalcloak 2.5" Gamechanger (Rocksport)
37x12.50R17 KM3s

First Mod: Gibson Leatherworks phone holder. This thing is amazing! Simple, and took all of 5min to install (rounding up). I find the interior storage in the Jeep to be limited, so this mod makes me happier than it should. Currently just running a cable to the center console along the drivers side, and it seems to work great.

Ok... So I just couldn't leave it alone! Found a great deal from a forum member.

Method 702s with 315/70R17 KM3s - Loving them so far!

With these, next on the list will be a tailgate reinforcement. Debating between Mopar and Metalcloak. Metalcloak looks nicer, but I'm not sure what I'll do with the chmsl yet

KM3s... Are they good on snowy roads? I bet, if you've looked into it, you already know the answer to this questions... They aren't. It's manageable, and almost spring time right

Also, I 100% knew they weren't before I put them on... It's kind of fun since I don't have to commute on them in the snow.

 

[MikeT987]

This counts as a mod right? Sure looks better! And still functions just fine.

Congrats on the JLUR! Making me so envious you're out enjoying yours. My order hasn't been given a build date yet because I ordered a manual JLUR. Hoping I'll have it by July?

Dig the phone holder.

I've already put in an order for a customized version of the following having gotten used to wireless charging in my other vehicles: https://www.leatherseats.com/shop/i...ng-consoles/jl-wrangler-charging-console.html

Oooh! That looks nice!

Metalcloak tailgate reinforcement is ready to install soon, just need to find the time. I've been impressed with the milage so far even with the 315/70R17 KM3's

 

[MikeT987]

Finally got some time to install the Metalcloak tire carrier. Solid piece and install was pretty straight forward. Nice and tight to the tailgate now, and adjustability for future fun.

 

[MikeT987]

These are a bit difficult to get a good picture of, but i can't recommend the Hothead Headliners enough! I'd say they make a difference in sound, definitely in heat, and they look really nice as well. Install is pretty easy if you follow their directions.

I love how you matched the seats. I am currently in a raptor and looking at a picking up a diesel rubi but I have copd and need to go on a trail ride with one to see if my lungs can handle the exhaust. I also love the mileage your getting. Still snow on the ground at my house as well.

Hello neighbor. Nice Jeep. It's the right color.

 

[MikeT987]

Window tint done to match the rear. I wouldn't do it if it was a daily driver, makes seeing at night a bit difficult. Strip across the windshield because... Well... That's what happens when you have a couple beers before . I kind of like it.

5k miles and on windshield #2... Glad I switched to an insurance that has glass coverage!

That's as it sits with just throwing 315's on it? With different wheels obviously.

Yep. 315/70r17 on 17x8.5 with 0 offset.

They poke a bit more than I'd like, but absolutely no rubbing
