Over a 2 month period the stock JK Unlimited Rubicon was stripped of the axles and the control arm brackets were removed from the frame. A set of Dynatrac ProRock 60′s were installed under the jeep with 5.38 gears and ARB air lockers. A set of Walker Evans 17″ Beadlock rims were mated to some 37x12.5R17 Goodyear MTR w/Kevlar tires. I must say that with these really beefy axles, I should not have to worry about bent axle tubes, busted shafts, or the knuckles bending in with larger tires. The Tereflex 4″ Long Arm “LCG” kit has an amazing ride quality

Tip:
It is important to know the position of your front and rear differentials as they are usually the lowest point of your vehicle. Similarly, any other low ground clearance points should be noted e.g. exhaust, spare tyre etc. When a large rock or other obstacle is on a track that you must drive over, you should ensure you avoid driving directly over it with the lowest ground clearance point of your 4x4.

@jeep138 Because, this was my daily driver and I sold my TJ to build this jeep when my family (2 kids and a wife) no longer fit with the camping gear. So, I sold the TJ and built my DD to handle offroad and still be able to drive to work the next day. Not to mention that I got good money for the D44′s!

why spend extra money on a rubicon if you are going to swap the axles, suspension, tires and wheels? i know it also has a 4 to 1 xfer case, but swapping a four to one would most likely be alot cheaper than the price difference between a non rubicon and a rubicon. seems like a waste of money just to get a 4 to 1 and rubicon hood decals
