I bought my 2018 Rubicon Recon new about a year ago and I’ve been piling up parts since. It’s heading to Rubitrux Saturday for its first mods. This is just phase 1 and I have a million ideas and an ever growing to do list in my head but as of now it’s getting

AEV 3.5 DualSport SC suspension
AFE Y Pipe
Hellwig Rear Swaybar
Black Rhino Armory 17 inch wheels in desert sand
37x12.50r17 Yokohama Geolander m/t
Genright aluminum swing out tire carrier
Poison Spyder front and rear Bruiser bumpers
Poison Spyder front skid
Poison Spyder aluminum Crusher fenders paint matched
Warn Zeon 10s
Poison Spyder fairlead
Factor 55 prolink
KC G34 fog lights for both front and rear bumper
KC Pro6 50’ led light bar
KC Pro6 A pillar spot beam pair
JW speaker 279 series taillights
6 switch dual led SPod
Rugged Ridge hood latches
Rugged Ridge stubby antenna
Grabars front and rear

I plan to also upgrade brakes in the near future. Recommendations? I’ve been looking at teraflex, dynatrac, and rebel off-roads restraint system. I’m assuming between the 37s and the weight of the armory wheels a regear will be necessary so I’ll probab move to 4.88s. I’m not in a rush for this.. I’ll have to see how terrible it feels. I’ll also tackle any axle upgrades that are necessary but I’ve heard good reports from folks running 37s with the recon d44s. Anything I’m leaving out? Any future suggestions? I’ll keep the thread updated with pics in the next couple of weeks. I couldn’t be more excited to get the ball rolling with this! Pictures below is the Jeep in its current state aside from the stubby antenna I’ve since added.

 

Got a progress shot from Rubitrux today. Picking it up on Monday. Just lacks a few things. Can’t wait!
