My 05 Rubi build and picture thread

[Chris]

I've seen those jacks before and always wanted one! Let me know how you end up liking it.

 

[derekmac]

I will for sure.

OK, I think I have a spot to mount my farm jack. It seems pretty secure, so I think it should work, and the only time it'll be on there is for runs.

 

[Chris]

Thank goodness you didn't mount it on the hood!

 

[derekmac]

Maybe I'll get a second one to mount there!! LOL

Like I said though, this will only be mounted when I go off-roading. Only then will I be a bad ass Jeeper.

Gotta have your shackles hanging from the front bumper and the snorkel too

 

[derekmac]

Shit, something else to add to the to-do list. WILL IT EVER END?!?!?!?

Long answer. No. Short answer. No

Here are some of my close to 500 pics from our trip out on Saturday. We had a fresh 12 inches of snowfall on Friday, and I was lucky to be able to break trail through the fresh powder.

I'll tell you what... You guys always look like you're having such a blast. You must really have a great Jeep crowd up there in Canada!

The group I wheel with has some of the best people I've ever met!! No drama or BS, just folks that want to get together and have a good time.

This will be the Peoples Post

It was a blast!! We're getting around another 24" of snow today, so wheeling next weekend should be fun!!

We can convoy up.

29 hours in a jeep with a soft top would be mortal hell lol 1800 miles...

The more the merrier!!

So, next week I should be ordering these Jeep TJ/YJ Front and Rear Tube Fenders (DIY) from Black Widow Gear. I'm undecided on what size flare to get though... I'm thinking 5", since they'll be a bit wider than the stock Rubi flares, but not too much.

Here's one with the 6" ones installed.

 

[Chris]

I don't like those, only because they look way too wide! I like them a bit narrower.

More surface area to set your beer can while you work on it.
