Rubi Recon

[ExpeditionBuilds]

Really nice light set up, Steven.

Did you ever consider cowl lights from D & C Designs (https://dandcdesigns.net/)?

Thanks Doug, the Diode Dynamics set-up has worked out well.

I was not aware of D&C Designs until I clicked the link you provided. Very cool product and it well executed. Thanks for expanding my ever expanding Jeep horizon, really appreciate that!

Absolutely love your build. I am moving from my JKU into a 22 JL Rubicon 4xe and got some great ideas from your build.

I am located in Golden Colorado and would love to see to see it in person and hit a trail or two.

Thanks

Hi David! Appreciate the compliment.

You probably already know this, moving from the JKU to the JL platform is amazing. Jeep continues to refine the vehicle and keep the capability.

Earlier this year we split time between Moab and Colorado. After EJS 2022, I'm planning on spending more time in Colorado and getting more time in on the trails there. Let's keep in touch, I'd love to hit some trails with you and the new 4XE.

What are your plans for the new 4XE?

The 4xe Rubicon is 700# heavier than the standard Rubicon. So weight is a big factor in this build.

I had the 37 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and BAD Wheels and loved them both. This time I am going with 37 KO2 and Method 703 Gloss Titanium Bread Grip to save weight.

Going with Metalcloack 2.5 control arms and springs. SteerSmarts track bars, tie rod and drag link.

Fox 2.5 performance Elite Series Accutune Shocks.

Warn on Factory bumper.

For phase one.


Hope to see you on the trail.

Wow, I didn't realize the additional 700lbs on the 4XE! Aluminum wherever possible right? The 703's are very light weight.

Build list looks great. What color did you go with? Looking forward to seeing it come together.

I've been running American Adventure Lab components on my build and love it.

I put together a video that covers the details. Enjoy!

Steven is the storage rack something a power tank could mount to? (Horizontal ) Perhaps to the bottom (Upside down) so tank is out of sight.

Absolutely. I grabbed a couple of screen shots of tanks mounted on the rack. You mount top or bottom.

Does anyone know how much this hoop affects the Trail Cam?

Hi Brian, Here's a pic from the XLP thread taken by @Marine2146 of the view via the front trail camera with the XLP hoop.

Thanks Steven, much appreciated. I like the look and extra protection but was worried about the intrusion of the hoop on the camera. But that's not too intrusive. Now just need to work out getting one in Australia! Oh, and my Rubicon too!

My pleasure! I don't have the trail camera but will probably add it at some point and it would work with the XLP hoop.

Good luck with getting the hoop...and the Rubicon!
