Rubitan Build

Hey everybody, I got my jeep about 2 months ago (late december). I have alot of plans for it.

Its a 2003 Rubicon

Right now it has a 4 inch pro comp lift, 33x12.50x15 BFGoodrich A/T's, Warn front and rear bumpers, AWC 15x10 aluminum wheels, Cobra CB radio and PA system and rock sliders.

It'll be a very long build because i'm a student trying to get as much money as i can.

btw, I am 18 and i did buy this rubicon myself 15k with 48k miles on it and i could never be any happier!

The first picture i have of it. the night i got it, i realized it was to clean, so i took it offroad and in a little mud


That week, we planned to go out to superstition mountain, so i bought light covers and then i was good to go!




Jeep power!!



Then after a month or so i finally added somethings to it, like here i didn't like the chrome bezels. So i sanded them and painted them black

Before:


After:


then just this last monday, testing out flex for fun


And just recently i added two clamps so my sway bar wouldn't shift to the passengers side all the time.



Lots more to come!

The Jeep looks nice
Superstition Mountain, is that near the Salton Sea?
I'm in L.A. and that looks like an awsome place to go wheelin'!!!
