Well, after a 10 day wheeling trip to Moab and San Juan Mountains, I was left very impressed with my JLUR. The current setup includes 2” Mopar lift, 37s, bumpers, winch, and Steer Smarts links with a Synergy steering brace. We have a trip planned for later this year for some Texas wheeling and a Rubicon trip next summer.
What would you recommend for needed mods, and not gimmicky mods?
Prior to my Texas trip, I’d like to swap in some 1.75” spacers, gut the rear inner fenders, and run some kind of AAL front inner fenders to hopefully cure the rubbing at full flex. I’m trying to avoid lifting it anymore.
Other than that, I’d like to get some input for the Rubicon. Recommend aftermarket driveshafts? Rock rails? RCVs? Rotopax type fuel tanks? I did fully lay the JLUR on the stock rock rails on Poughkeepsie Gulch so I think they will do. Of course, I’m not made of money so that’s why I’m asking what the best bang for my buck would be. If it’s absolutely recommended for the Rubicon then definitely like to upgrade. My concerns are mainly being 2500+ miles from home and if the driveshafts/ axle shafts will hold up.
TLDR; What recommended parts to run the Rubicon Trail?
