I've owned my Rubicon for a little over a year now and thought I would start a progress/build thread

I bought the jeep from Carmax with a little less than 9000 miles on it
2006 Rubicon

On the first wheeling trip bone stock. Except for the neoprene seat covers my mom bought me before I even owned the jeep (I still really like them)





notice the temp tag




My first real mod was an AtoZ Fab front bumper and some KC lights
Then I decided to get an LoD rear bumper/tire carrier and participate in national topless day





Some more wheeling pictures

[Imped]

Looks good man, I'm diggin the bumpers. Future plans?

[QuickSilverCon]

I got buried in mud


Then I got a great deal on my Moabs and decided it was time for 33"s

So I ordered 5 Mickey Thompson MTZs and Procomp black steelies as well as a 1.25 JKS Body Lift/Motor Mount lift and 2.5inch old man emu coils with rubi express monotubes

then I tore my ACL and was unable to drive a stick for a very long time
so my younglife leader took my jeep out for its maiden voyage with 33"s



then for graduation I got some AtoZ fab rockers from my dad





then we planned a trip to Moab and some more parts were needed
Skid Row engine skid
Genright steering box skid




My stock sway bar broke in moab and I got a currie antirock

then i moved out to Knoxville Tennessee for school

went to windrock a few times and joined a club (ET4WD)


my stock foglight got snapped off, o well

i am one of the smallest in our group on 33"s


and thats how she sits right now with a little under 26,000 miles

future plans:

front and rear diff covers (thanks to my sister and zach)
a cb radio
a tummy tuck (rokmen)
a winch (warn m8000)
gas tank skid (rokmen)
my friend who used to be a fabricator for james duff is gonna build me a long arm kit that he plans to start selling soon and needs a TJ to prototype on.
which means ill need longer shocks and a CV shaft
currie HD steering
Vanco Big brakes
Chromo shafts front and rear
hiline set up from rokmen (if it ever comes out...)
regear
37"s
in the long run that is, reality I probably wont go further than the currie steering until after I graduate college

Looks great, keep up the good work

[ScottHarr_TJ]

looks good man. i cant wait to see your list get put on your rig.

[zachbh]

sweet build..... damn you have some nice people giving you stuff, differential protection for one, and rockers

there is a highline kit for rokmen thats supposed to be coming out? ill have to check that out.

looks good

[zachbh]

and also i think recessed LED tail lights would look really cool on your jeep, just my opinion

[spyder6]

I did not realize that you are a loooong *** way away from home. if you ever find yourself 2 hours north in Lexington KY, let us drink.

and thank you sir, it was an unfortunate loss. my sports allegiance is split with another University though... I think i will hide in a dark room the day they play each other.



how do you like your anti-rock? ive been considering either it or an ORO Sway-loc

[QuickSilverCon]

I love the antirock

on the road it handles great and i feel way more stable on the trail, when I see other people get tippy and scared I feel perfectly stable, I would recommend it to anyone.
it was one of the better ways to spend 300 dollars, I thought about the ORO sway-loc but just couldn't justify the expense.

the only down side is i tend to lift tires a little bit sooner than when I ran disconnected. I lost roughly 1 inch of down travel

[spyder6]

can you tell any difference with on road performance? ive read that the Anti-Rock has a lighter resistance than the factory swaybar. That is the one thing i liked about the ORO is that it has a stiffer on road sway bar.
