    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Compared to my 100, this build is going to be minimalist. Keeping stock parts wherever possible, and using the lightest possible options. Except drawers. The weight seems worth it. With so many options, Jeep builds can go off the rails really easily. I usually find myself liking the stock...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    I'm not really worried about heat. It never gets above 80 where I live. The interior temperature of the all black jeep we almost bought the same as the outside temperature after sitting in the sun all day. The white is more for scratches and paint longevity.

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Checking back in. The dealer never placed my June 7th order because of the screwy Jeep ordering system. So I've been waiting for July 11th when you can order a Rubicon without the $700 Alpine stereo. In that time, I've changed my mind about black. I think I'm going to get Expo (expedition)...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Thanks Scott. I'll take a look. I thought deciding and negotiating would be the hard part. Not actually submitting the order. At this rate, I'd rather wait until the alpine option goes away in July. And get a red one with tan leather and not much else. Use the money for more mods. Sent from...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Well scratch all that. The dealer did t place the order. Now Jeeps system is making all rubicon orders add a $650 alpine stereo that was standard last year. And in really second guessing getting black. The buying process has been so frustrating that I don't even really want to give Jeep money at...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    After reading more about the AEV 2.5 lift. I'd rather good out and get that. But I worry it would look dumb with 32" tires. I've thought about linking the 8800s channels into a repeater but never actually done it. I'm not a fan of airbags. I couldnt get the hoses to stay attached. And they...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Because I already own the 8800. I have the beofang uv5+ also. Honestly, that radio with a longer antenna, external mic and car adapter is all you need unless you're concerned with hitting repeaters 5+ miles away. The wraps would just be clear paint protection film. But it's so expensive, I'd...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    [Q UOTE=kojackJKU;1601232]I would go teraflex. I love mine Leveling kit? How does that work with shock travel? I'd like to make up for the weight of the drawers, winch and tire carrier and then add about a inch or so for break over angle. As it stands now, the jeep has a lot less clearance...

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    Today 2015 ordering started. The heated seats come with the leather option. So don't worry, we'll get them. My wife likes them, I pretty much only use them on off-roading trips. Otherwise it's never cold enough to need them here, unless you had the top off. One of the best justifications I've...

    Winch plate for JK stock bumper

    Has anyone used the Hardrock one? It only attaches with two bolts. Not sure how strong that is.

    JKU Awning with no roof rack?

    You could definitely mount the smallest ARB awning to your tail rack. Otherwise, maybe with some kind of rain gutter mounts on the side? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Land Cruiser 100 to Jeep Rubicon Unlimited: Capability? Comfort?

    We made it to the last signature at the Jeep dealer this weekend on a Black JKUR with a matched hardtop, dark saddle interior, every option imaginable. Got the dealer down to 5% under invoice with 1.99% APR. But in the end the cost of all those unnecessary options, and not having the cash in...
