I was planning on a suspension lift and 35's but I really haven't put my Rubicon, and myself to the test yet. Its supposed to be the most trail ready vehicle right outta the shop. I did go high center following Rocky through that puddle but that could have been avoided if i approached it differently. $4-$5,000 investment may not be what i need. I love the way this vehicle handles as it is so I don't want to screw with it yet. I'm gonna get some more trail riding in and wear out some parts first. I will consider the Mopar steel bumper and Warn 8,000 lb winch
Sell back your current tires, get the 35’s and split the fenders up front and run those American Adventure Lab LED/Turns.

Run that setup for awhile.

Saves you money, buys you some time to plan further and allows you to get a real feel for what you need/require.

That’s what I would do judging by your response.

You could even sell the stock LED’s you’ll be pulling out and if you want new rims you could sell your Rubi ones which all fetch a premium price..

You practically pay nothing to upgrade selling the following:

The LED’s you pull out.
Your tires to Discount Tire.
Your Rubi wheels.

You’d gain 1.5-2” (if you’re running 33’s currently) and would gain 3” of clearance between your tire and the front fenders at that point.

Looks great, Mort! I particularly like the wheels.

Regarding another trail ride, we're game just about anytime. ..and I'll also be watching what y'all decide regarding TN. If it happens after April we'll almost surely be coming from our Charlotte, NC joint. Knoxville area is around 4-5 drive for us.

Alright, so continuing along with what @MORTON refers to as the 'Panda Theme' (I like that..:)), I decided to ditch the silver/gray grill and headlight inserts found on the Sahara. They just had to be black!..:)

Taking the grill apart and reassembling it is a piece of cake, btw.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, until you can do that we can’t help you.......:)

Your Jeep looks awesome !:rock:

I'm thinking of doing something similar and may also go with the Nittos, if I cant find a set Rubi Takeoffs nearby.

@MORTON The fun begins tonight. Wish you were here. The storm is coming and I only have 3 walls in the carport. Want the lift on before it gets bad.
