Well I'm very excited I get to be a part of this forum now finally picking up the JL last week! We traded in our 2017 JKU Chief Edition to get our 2018 Hella Yella Rubicon. Our first initial thoughts once driving it the 1000 miles back to our residence was "AMAZING!!!" It feels so much better than our old Chief and has every single option we ever wanted. Custom ordering was the best idea ever made! Ha.
Our build will be pretty basic and straight forward. Here is what we have planned:
3.5 Inch Metalcloak Gamechanger with Rock Sport Shocks
Metalcloak Under Armor
Motobilt dif covers (or another brand depending on what's coming out)
ARB Dual Twin Compressor (have to find a way to mount this thing still)
35 Inch Tires with Beadlocked Wheels (undecided still on brand etc)
Gobi Rack with Smittybilt Overlander RTT. (I'm sure the gobi will be stuck on order for the next 6-9 months lol)
Go Rhino Front and Rear Bumpers with LED's
Canvasback Cargo Liner with Side walls
Some little small cosmetic things here and there.
Overall, the plan for our build will be with a semi rock crawler with overlanding capabilities. We have aspirations to do all the fun trails in California but be able to sustain in our Jeep for about 3-5 days at a time if needed. We also need a little room so our German Shepard can go with us
We picked up the Jeep on 9/26/18 from Peterson in Nampa Idaho. Got a super good deal and an adequate trade in for the Chief. Here she is shortly after purchase:
We made it 240 miles before our first experience A nice quarter size crack in the windshield:
We drove for a super long time as we were heading back to California!
With a quick pitstop down the California Coast!
Right as we were arriving home we already hit the first 1000 miles:
