I've got a 2006 Rubicon with about 230K miles, put on from new.
It's been my grocery getter,commuter car,jobsite mule,and more. I change the oil fix what breaks and just drive it, till now.
I'm hopefully soon to get a work car, making the Jeep more of a play toy.Its time to freshen up the Jeep.
I don't want to loose drivability, like turning sharp or steep inclines. I'm planning on mostly being on fire road and some skidder trails.I usually go 4wheeling with friends on ATV's,but I've been going on trail rides with other Jeeps recently and having fun with that. I always the least moded rig in the bunch so far.
So here's what I'm thinking about changing up.
Vanco big brake 15
Wheels 15"alum 3.75bs?
33x12.5 tires possibly 35
3-4 short arm skidplate/tummy tuck or longarm 4-5 or mid arm
Rear CV driveshaft custom or Tom Woods.
1st will be brakes,and rust repair. Fenders will have to be changed either factory which I already bought or Metalcloak.
Any ideas for a solid trail rig build here? Looking to go around 5000 on a budget doing most work on a friends lift.
I'll have to hire a welder so short arm would be easier.
Mostly trieng to a avoid putting a bunch of money on suspension and turning out less capable offroad. Being too "TIPPY" or bad antisquat.
