Love those Jeeprman Diamond Skidz... I was lucky and found a set of used ones after Jeeperman closed up shop, so I bought them from a forum member to install on my Rubi.

i actually took mine off to repaint them and i found a large separation in the welds on one bracket. and one of the brackets were originally put on upside down. i asked around to see what it would cost to have the bracket ground off and re welded and the other bracket re-welded and then powder coated and it costed more than i payed for them. so i sold them for scrap and im on the hunt for something new.

This is the blueprint-perfect Rubi build.
You should put together a spreadsheet budget with everything detailed out like Dr. Marn did so perspective builders can see how much coin to save up.

i put a list of everything together as suggested. to note, i no longer own the Jeeperman Diamond Skidz. also, i took the Light Force lights off my rig because id prefer to have the 150's over the 170's. i have no need for a 100watt light. they ARE for sale. perfect condition with only about 12 hours of use on them.

i decided i would not include the price of the jeep ($28k), or the compiled stroker parts. i also did not add the Optima Yellow top battery to the list because i didnt feel it was a mod, that was $240 at Advance.

EDIT: I just realized i forgot to add the IPF lenses and Fatboy bulbs which was $149.95

List Removed and updated

i updated and modified the list slightly, sorry if its slightly blurry - had to shrink it slightly so i could take a screenshot of it and then bring it back up to size. i still left the stroker parts out. you guys can add up the totals

we dont get a whole lot of snow. this year our big snow storm was about 10 inches which hasnt happened since 1996. with that said, the tires performed AMAZING. the one and only time i ever had them slip was when i was in snow attempting to make a turn from a dead stop in 4HI and the torque and LSD managed to 360 me. BFGoodrich in my opinion makes the best tires in the world. when my KM's wear out, i'll be getting the 37x12.50x17 KM2's
