JLUR
Just bought a JLUR, 2.0, auto, no steel bumper package, and I already see myself going down the mod rabbit hole. I'm not new to off roading but I am new to the Jeep world and this is the most capable-stock vehicle I have ever owned.

With that said, post some pics of you wheeling the snot out of your stock Rubi! I need the motivation lol.

I presume you mean stock height. If you mean no mods at all (AKA better protection but still no lift or tires), my answer will be different. What you see below are all stock height.

@jeepn' A warning about the rear bumpers. You can google about them but trust me, they suck! I HAD the steel rear and I suspect the plastic rear is just as bad. When you hit it from beneath, it will flex up into your tub and cause damage. I wish I had known about that B4 my trip to Hot Springs Off Road Park but luckily, I was very cautious there. Even so, here is a pic of the damage caused which I noticed after removing the stock bumper to replace it with a @Metalcloak

JL Wrangler Crawler "Narrow Width" Rear Bumper.

Make plans to replace at least the rear as soon as you can WITH ONE which specifically addresses that issue!

Definitely a weak point of the OEM steel bumpers- the rear bumper is great, the OEM mounting brackets, not so much. MetalCloak now has a bracket reinforcement kit for those- have them installed on mine and they're super beefy- https://metalcloak.com/jl-wrangler-rear-metal-bumper-braces.html.
