Project: Dual Sport Daily - My 2022 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon #JL370

[oxidizr]

Sort of accidentally had this project opportunity enter my life when my order for a ZR2 Silverado fell through due to some unscrupulous dealership activities.

Wranglers have never been a part of the personal stable but I have worked on many inside of work duties and friend projects. Just getting this project started and looking to document the process.

The project overview:

we have completed that but its not e-torque compatible due to the battery. the system I currently have on the Jeep is the new prototype.

The AEV Salta XP wheels are in and Milestar 37x12.50x17 Patagonia X/Ts are mounted

Had to get them out in the dirt to find the right pressures but it does look so good

Its time for bumpers and more AEV JL370 parts. Obviously the 37 wont fit the factory door mount and bumper so its rear bumper first so I can get the tire out of the garage on the Jeep where it needs to be.

Lots of parts and a little work to get it all installed but the new bumper is solid with side corner protection, higher ground clearance and of course a integrated 40" tire carrier or 37" with 10 gallons of fuel.

First the old bumper and tailgate carrier has to come off

Check out the full installation coming soon on my YouTube channel: Exhausting Life

The results are quite nice

I can't have the rear without the front so here goes nothing.

A went for a few optional parts while I'm in there

Integrated Winch Mount

Front Skid Plate

7000 Series LED lights and mount kit
