Rubi Recon

[jeme]

Another small addition as we get closer to getting the lift under Rubi.

I ran the Smittybilt Beaver Step on my JK. It makes a great tow point, a step to access the roof and a perfect glide point coming off of large obstacles, which saved my stock steel bumper many times.

The step is made of hammer forged carbon steel and is rated as a 10,000lb tow point.

You keep doing great stuff to your Jeep! Looks great!

Updated pic showing the amber running light feature on the Baja Designs LP4's.

I'll be heading to Dixie 4Wheel Drive next week in St. George to have the lift installed. I''ll get some pics/video of the LP4's offroad then. Stay tuned.

After all the research and thought that goes into which parts would go into Stage 1 of this build, we are finally underway...

Getting bumpstops/clearances checked, adjusted and dialed in!

When I saw how much the MetalCloak Game Changer lift articulated on my JL, I was grinning like a fool...

Getting your Jeep lifted really transforms it...easily one of my favorite parts of this journey...

We were lucky enough to join the Dixie crew on a night run on West Rim Trail, Sand Hollow. Perfect shake down run...

Alright, Warn Zeon 10S installed. Really happy with the design/strength of the Artec winch plate. The assembly was pretty straight forward.

I'll post a video soon of this install on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5HJ5REOo6XbFuakJem6TTw

While I had the bumper off, I removed the factory skid plate and shot that in a 'steel grey' color. The new Gladiator Mojave was the inspiration for this. More to come, stay tuned.

This looks great! 2 questions. 1) which warn fairlead is that. I see they have a 1” and 1.5” option? 2). How did you mount your license plate?
Thanks!!

Hi JJ! The fairlead is a Warn Epic 1.0. The color is Gunmetal.

For the license plate holder, that is from Max-3. It bolts right up via the factory skid plate bolts.

Your Jeep looks so good! It’s my motivation!! I though of another question. Which backspacing did you go with on your wheels? 4.5?
