2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon X, Canadian SPEC, loaded to gills, 19K. Traded in my frontier pro 4x, built LJ, and my victory high ball to get her.
First and fore most I have wanted a JK rubicon since I deployed from Afghanistan. I have owned some many vehicles in an effort to find a substitute: Toyota FJ Cruiser Team Off-road, Nissan Frontier Pro4-X, 2005 built LJ, 95 XJ.
Initial impressions:
The JKLRX is leaps and bounds more comfortable the TJL. Hell the JKL is more capable, comfortable, and fuel efficient than the PRO4-X. I used to make fun of JK owners, I always kinda thought of the JK platform as more of chic jeep than anything. The humble pie taste good, soo good.
Plans:
Slow, deliberate modifications that build up over 1-2 years. For the time it's going to be a mall crawler, the 10.5 in ground clearance barely lends itself to get over a curb! I'm not gonna be the guy who totals out a 50k jeep wrangler.
So the name Two Face: I want it to look like a mall crawler for my DD but an absolute beast capable of handling Lvl 4/5s on the trail.
-I plan to use aluminum everything in order to keep weight down and MPGs up.
-No more than 2.5in lift, thinking METALCLOAK/RK hybrid system, maybe out board shocks if that's a thing with JKs.
-Run 33's on the street and 37's on the trail, going to re-gear the auto ASAP
