    2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Build/Adventures

    I am not planning on doing much else. I spent enough on Jeeps and parts over the last two years to put this addiction on hold for a little bit. I am planning on doing more trips now. With that said, I may buy some traction boards and some rotopax lol.

    2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Build/Adventures

    Rubicon Build I added everything to the Jeep in the driveway of my apartment building by myself. It took me about 8 hours to do everything, but I am glad I put in the time. It took me roughly two years to collect all of these parts and I did not want to let them go on a trade in. Check out the...

    2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Build/Adventures

    So I decided to trade in my 2015 Jeep JKU Sport on a 2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon. After pricing gears and lockers it didn't make sense not to go with the Rubicon. Anyways, my old Jeep had a ton of parts on it that I wanted to put on the Rubicon. I had a gobi rack, winch bumpers, lights, switches, CB...

    Rubicon Upgrades I purchased a brand new 2017 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited with a automatic transmission. It is pretty loaded it has power everything, the Uconnect package, slush mats, and even heated seats. The only option I really wanted were the 4.10 gears, but it was discounted so much that it...

    2015 Jeep JKU Expedition Build

    Decided to trade my Sport in on a Rubicon After contemplating putting in lower gears and a locker for some time, I decided to trade my Sport in on a Rubicon. After driving the Rubicon to Southern California I am so glad I made the purchase. The Rubicon is so much smoother and better equipped...

    2015 Jeep JKU Expedition Build

    Off-Road in Lockwood Valley I took the Jeep out to my favorite trail with my sisters and niece. I recently installed a set of ACE rock sliders, thank goodness I did otherwise I may have incurred some serious damage. You can check the trail experience out in the video.

    I took the smittybilt storage vault out because it made so much noise and rattled constantly. I would recommend not purchasing this product if you want a shred of sanity after driving on a dirt road

    Waterproof Fuse and Relay Box I recently installed the Waterproof Fuse and Relay Box to clean up some of my wiring and to give me more relays. It cost $130 shipped and is a great alternative to spod.

    Smittybilt Storage Vault I bought this Smittybilt Storage Vault off of craigslist for $190. They retail around $370. I think its a great product...for $190. If it didn't rattle so much it would definitely be worth $370. I keep tools and camping gear inside it so I am ready to go camping at a...

    I know that I got a deal on it. I thought about flipping it and getting a decent profit.

    DIY Relay Panel I wanted to buy an aftermarket relay/fuse panel for my Jeep, but I already had a lot of the parts necessary to build one myself. I'm not very handy with electrical, but I tried to give it a crack anyway. So far everything works as planned. I was able to daisy chain my switches...

    Here is the awning that I bought: ARB4402A 2000 x 2500 m 6.5 ft x 8.2 ft I just used u-bolts and a couple pieces of steel that I measured and drilled. I will take some pictures this week and post them. I also used split ring hangers to mount my axe and shovel. These things are cheap and...

    2015 Jeep JKU Expedition Build

    It currently has 3.21's in it. I wasn't planning on running 32's, but the price was right on them. I may re-gear to 4.10's but it runs fine for now. I also may sell it when the Jeep truck comes out so we will see what happens.

    Rubicon Bumper Upgrade I recently installed a rubicon rear bumper, its like the hard rock version. I picked it up on craigslist for $50. It is a huge upgrade over the faded plastic bumper because it actually works as a step to my gobi ladder. Hopefully I will find a deal on the swing out...

    Rubicon Rims and Tires I drove the Jeep around with those accessories for a little while. Then I found a great deal on rims and tires on craigslist. I bought a set of 5 black rubicon rims that came with 8 255/75r17 tires. Some of the tires were worn uneven, but 4 of them were great. I got it...

    Lights Next I put on four KC lights and a Rugged Ridge Switch Panel. The lights cost $200 and switch panel cost $50. After running the 4 daylighters on top of the gobi rack I decided to buy a $30 amazon light bar for my winch bumper. I can say that I don't use the KC's often since buying the...

    ARB Awning i tried to put my rack to good use after buying it, so I purchased an ARB Awning. I bought it on Amazon for $300 dollars. I made my mounts using U-Bolt and around $10 in hardware. I couldn't justify spending $100-$150 for a gobi accessory. These awnings are well built and only take a...

    Gobi Rack The next upgrade I made was a huge purchase. I decided to buy a gobi rack which cost $1500. I bought the rack with the intention of putting a roof top tent on it, but after seeing how high the tents sit I decided to go another direction with it. Looking back, I am not sure if I would...
