TREDSDERT's Rate My Wrangler Thread!!!

[Mudduck]

Rather than critiquing your awesome Subaru build, because it's not really as capable as a Wrangler so it's not going to be a similar comparison. I'm just going to throw out some ideas I'm thinking of looking at these photos.

The front end looks great! The aftermarket sport grill, it's semi-gloss black? Just to throw some extra flare on there, if you vinyl wrapped the hood to be semi-gloss black to match the front grill, it would give it a much more sporty and aggressive look without doing anything too largely impactful on the overall build. Plus cost-wise if you did it yourself would be pretty inexpensive.

The engine bay looks good, a little bit of color to make it pop in there seems to have already been done with those cross braces. Adds a nice Chevy Orange-Red to the look.

Spoiler: Anyone who doesn't know already or doesn't have Subaru with the Sport package, Chevy Orange-Red is the color match for the Orange-Red trim on the Sport package

Outside of an aftermarket front bumper, a winch, some skids, a decent lift, and some off-road worthy tires, there's really not that much you can do for a Subaru to make it much more soft-road worthy than it already is from the factory.

That being said you seem to have the big four already covered, from here on out it's just cosmetic trying to make it look less fat than the Subaru Forester naturally is. You got that bronze factory paint, and the black and gold on the grill, maybe just tie in more black and gold on the rear. Little bit of color all around we'll go a long way for making it look sleeker and I'll just a little bit sexier.

Overall rating: 4/6

Slightly better than a three, but still not quite a four out of five.

Fair enough! I know it’ll never be a wrangler, still have one! But, it is a winter/Adverse weather beast, and quite capable for what it is And super comfortable while getting 33MPG

Okay so the basics of it look pretty stock...

Hear me out first!

So you got the steel factory in Mopar front bumper, with the ends removed to make it a stubby Mopar factory front bumper. It's still a nice bumper, it's a really nice bumper in fact, I've always been a fan of the factory steel. You got a badlands winch in there, I've already stated I like the Badlands brand. Can't go wrong with harbor freight!

Then you got what looks to be trimmed factory Rubicon fenders, aftermarket tire and wheel package, I'm guessing either 37s or '40s? They look big! Looks to be factory Rubicon rock rails, also extremely capable. I ran those for a while myself and still have been hanging on to them. Got them sitting in my garage reluctant to throw them away because they're extremely useful and capable.

I'd be up to say the only thing that's really original about your Wrangler is the flag pole up front, and honestly as weird as I am, I really like it. It's a little bit eclectic and All those stickers / tags make it really cute and a nice little trophy pole after a fashion. Adds a bit of color and flare, while having a functional and in many cases required off-roading flag. It's a really nice touch, I'm a fan!

Pod lights are nice, and you don't have so much color and additions going on up front that the rest of the vehicle looks plain by comparison. That's usually what happens is people put all these modifications up front and the back just looks basic and simple. But that's not the case in your Wrangler, it's actually really clean looking.

Overall rating: 3/5

Now mind you three out of five is a good rating. It says your vehicle's nice, but it's not super specialized. 2 out of five would be below par, and honestly a bit of an insult. But you're not in that realm, it's a nice good looking Wrangler, sting-gray, looks capable, you didn't do anything stupid to it like I've done with mine, really nice well put together Jeep.

It’s a fixer upper

Im not posting my jeep because I figure that one will get a higher score. I have no doubt if there's one person who would actually do something with that thing, it's Treds.

By our deeds we honor him.

315/70s, stock suspension, mp concepts aluminum front bumper (open box), the rest is pretty right on! Few electrical mods as well!

I wondered how long it would take for someone to post an angry ducking nightlight. We all know Treds has a soft spot for those.

My new Wrangler… Well. Here it is… Lift and winch bumper to be installed soon.

So far = Michelins Cross climate tyres,...

You'll like the Michelins on your, uh, SUBÍ-CON. We've the Cross Climate² tires on my wife's AWD Honda. They're easily the best all-season radials we've used to date.

Those rooftop accessories add some good cushion when you roll a rig in Moab. Seen it happen while I was there.

It’s not perfect but it’s mine

 

[Terrymo]

I posted mine and was told it looked like this. I’m still recovering
