Hello Jeepers. I’m planning to buy a 2021 Rubicon in the next couple of months in time to do some mods so it’s just the way I want it in time for the Jeep Jamboree Rubicon Trail in August.
My plan is to drive it off the lot to MetalCloak for a 2.5 or 3.5” lift, 35s & a winch. I’m posting to ask suggestions particularly about the skid plate requirement listed on the Jeep Jamboree website, “Skid plates covering the gas tank, transfer case and rocker panels.” Doesn’t a 2021 Rubi come with skid plates? If so, are they strong enough or should I upgrade? If not, any suggestions?
Most of the playtime will be monthly camping/BLM/fire roads, with 2-3 organized trips per year in NorCal and possibly Washington, Utah, Colorado in the next few years. Not really going to be a rock crawler, but do feel the need to do the Rubicon at least once because we live close by and, well, because, Rubicon.
