Figured Id start/continue my build thread over here to help bring some ideas to new forum members. This is a continuation of a build thread on other forums..
Starting out its an 05 LJ Rubicon with a mix of companies products, more Metal Cloak than anyone else's! Below is the mod list:
Driveline:
D44 F/R
Revolution 5.38s
OEM Lockers
4:1 Tcase
Carolina Driveline Driveshafts
Centric Drilled/Slotted rotors/pads- OEM replacements, not BM
Suspension & Steering
4"Currie Springs
Savvy Fox shocks
MC single adjustable lower
MC double adjustable uppers
MC trackbars F/R
ZJ V8 Steering
Armor:
MC Overline Fronts
Genright HighFlare rears
Genright Stubby w/Winch Guard- Sitting waiting to be installed
OEM Rocker guards
Wheels/Tire
37x12.50 Goodyear MTR w/Kevlar
17x9 ATX Ravine
G2 1.25" Spacers
Engine:
Macs Cold Air Intake
Magnaflow Cats, Thrush Muffler- just added this week
Misc:
TruckLite LEDs
Midland 75-822
3'Firestik
TnT License Plate Relocation Bracket
10" LED bar-Front bumper- Both not installed yet
When I first bought the LJ it had an RC 6" short arm lift that was alright but I knew I wanted something lower, more comfortable and provided more articulation without going to long arms. I pieced together the lift I thought would be ideal. Metal Cloak Duroflex bushings really caught my attention and so I started with dropping the lift with Currie 4" springs and Fox shocks. Swapped out the RC arms for double adjustable solid aluminum uppers and single adjustable lowers. Now, I wish I had gone for the double adjustable lowers to get a little more wheelbase out of the arms, but 1" less wheelbase is hardly noticeable. So this is where my build is currently. If anyone has any questions, comments let me know. Some pictures...
Back when I had the Trektop NX, went back to OEM. Better looking, quieter etc..
Cheers!!!
