A few weeks ago Artec Industries picked up our 2018 JLUR from a Dealer in Michigan , We had drove it back to our facility 1600 miles over the next day and a half. On the drive we averaged 19mpg. (pretty good mileage for driving 80 mph )
Once it was back here All of us employees drooled all over it it didn't take us but a few hours until we started tearing into it and designing parts . I'm sure you saw some of our videos on facebook going over and under all the nitty gritty details.
This Jeep's build will be fairly mild like something you would see every day, Sure big builds are great for the shock and awe but we wanted something that your everyday guy would have. So our plan for this Jeep is to have a 3.5" Rock Krawler lift, 37x13.50x20 Maxxis Razrs wrapped around some Raceline Wheels. Along with a full Plethora of Artec Parts which you will see in this thread as we get the parts ready and installed . All of the Artec parts will be production parts that anyone can purchase .
We started off the build With our new JL Nighthawk mid tube stinger bumper Send it off to have it powder coated in a nice graphite to match the grille inserts and emblems and had the optional rock guard powdercoated in the factory red. Since it's a which bumper the obvious thing to do was dress it with a Superwinch EXP 10K lb winch with Factor 55 closed winching system .
After the front was done it was time to move on to the rear of the JL So we started designing our JL Rear bumper. We used feedback from customers since the JK line didnt work with a hitch so this one will work with the factory hitch on the JL and allows for used with the factory backup sensors . The bumper is still raw I'll update the pics when its back from the coater .
