A real Rubicon! (Even if I kinda prefer Hella).
BTW, the Fishbone front license holder is pretty slick.
We no longer need a front plate in Ohio thankfull!

My first Jeep project was actually a Hella Yellow One. I was just commuting and a modified Jeep wasn’t great in traffic everyday plus I used a super stiff lift which was my fault.

Ended up also adding track bars with the springs and gears / truss to get most of the flex. Also on diff service after break in we are going to a Motobuilt cover as the Yukon is too thick and will touch a bit.

I had this same problem with a Metalcloak trackbar and Yukon cover

Lights on and wired also added FAD skid.

Once rest is installed in a week or two looking at one of a few options: Full 2.5 Lift, Nemesis Fenders, or Find some Belly skids. Not sure which would be most noticeable. Rest would be winter items.

Also need to see how involved Trussing the front is soon.

I'm sooo jealous.. My 2-door HV is my pride and joy but due to recent medical issues I had to stop the mods (JUST got started dang!) but medical bills have thwarted everything but still glad I was able to do some (Sunrider, front steel bumper with winch, sidesteps, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires and my 1941 hood logo, and cowl covers) so that will be it but still looks good and I want to hug him every day,, so I will live vicariously in my mind watching your gorgeous build and am so happy for you... It is a masterpiece so far so I will follow what you do with it

Also some new wheels and tires inbound was looking at 38s and was already close on backspace sometimes with my 37s so just doing a full switch.

Going to Nitto I never fell in love with the Razr MT.

Didn’t want to go 40s with my setup and lose all my travel.

Plus getting a 40 inside worried me!

New wheels and tires and finally switched back to Nemesis delete.

This is done for the year other than some final items.
