2006 TJ Rubicon

[Michael B]

Hello all, I thought i make a build thread about my tj. I bought it just about a year ago with 25k miles and completely stock (yeah I got super lucky) here’s some pictures when I first got it

I left it pretty stock until around Christmas, when I started really getting some new stuff for it. Right before Christmas all I had was the rugged ridge 3rd tail light (best money I’ve ever spent) and I plasti-dipped the headlight bezels and put in grille inserts. Around November I got a pair of method mr304s wrapped in 33” bfgs. Since I didn’t have a lift, I didn’t put them on yet. A month later, I got the metalcloak 3.5 short arm kit (aluminum with the old man emu shocks) and it rides AMAZING.

Since then all I’ve done is fabricated a rear bumper to hold the oversized spare

That’s pretty much the build for now, it’s pretty simple but my next mod is prob the barricade trail force bumper. Thanks for checking out my Jeep!

People can hate on yellow all they want, but I actually quite like it!

Of course I'd have kept the Moab wheels and left the grill inserts out, but I would have to say, so far, so good!

Keep up the good work!

Thx! Yeah I’m not too sure about the grille inserts either, I might take them out soon. Appreciate it though!

I would take them out personally, but either way, it's your rig.

It looks good though, you don't see enough yellow ones!

I wish I knew. I’ve spent so long trying to find them and I can’t. They came with the Jeep when I got it. I’ll definitely be back here if I find them online

Wow.. that is clean for a Michigan Jeep! Nice find. Looks great. I like the lift in your garage too. People with clean shops fascinate me... Not sure how you do it.

Alright so I’m gonna admit it, still haven’t done any mods. Planning on fabricating a custom mid length bumper (based on the fishbone piranha bumper). Here is some pics tho!

I would have sworn those looked like Rugged Ridge tube doors. But apparently not. Here’s a pic of mine. I think I like yours better
