First and foremost I want to thank the jeep enthusiasts on this forum for your advice and knowledge! You've been a big help from gear ratio's to fender flares! I'm always open to opinions on which products you'd recommend and any other comments you may have.
I picked up this 2004 Jeep Rubicon a month ago with 25K miles on it. The friend I bought it from used it as his tow and drive rig behind a motor home. The Jeep is in brand new condition and came with both hard and soft factory tops as well as many other items.
I'm doing a 4" Currie Lift Kit along with Savvy 1.25" body lift. This lift should work good with 35" BFG KM3's on 17" wheels. The 17" wheels will allow for the biggest "Big Brake" Kit.
I've been stockpiling new parts for this build and it's time for the "Rip" phase. Due to the Jeep having a 42RLE Automatic Transmission with a .69 overdrive, both differentials are coming out to install the Revolution 5.38 ring and pinions. The gears have to be done, so why wait until the lift kit is in just to remove the axles later was my thought.
This is just the start of a build and I will post progress as well as a list of parts going into the build.
The Rubi is in shock after some amputations!
