2014 Anvil Rubicon build
Ok, I've had some requests for some pics and descripts of my new Jeep. My wife surprised me with a 2014 rubi for my 40th. I had some parts laying around from my '07 but I also just went crazy and ordered what I wanted after changing my '07 multiple times.
Here's the night I picked it up,crappy pics but you get the idea
It came with a textured black hardtop so I sold that immediately. I had a smooth skin hardtop from my '07 that i knew I was going to get color matched.
I sent the Jeep to paint while I went crazy at Northridge 4x4. Big shout out to them for crazy customer service,forum discounts and free shipping! Apparently anvil is a tough color to match,the paint code only has one variant and the PPG guy spent 4 hours and 25 color sprays to get the color right.
I ordered a Rock Krawler 3.5" max travel mid arm lift with Fox resi shocks and Fox ats stabilizer. I didn't run a stabilizer on my '07 but the Fox's adjustability is cool and stiffened up the front end steering "feel". I had Poison Spyder brawler stubby front bumper and their BFH rear but I couldn't bring myself to cut the rear crossmember from a new Jeep so I ordered the rock brawler II bumper.

I had fresh 37" Nitto trail grapplers on Hutchinson beadlocks so I had my tire set up. I also had a Teraflex tire carrier and JW Speaker headlights and fogs too.
Here's some pics of it after the lift was installed and on 37's

Here they are on the Jeep.
Next, I got the bumpers back from powder coat and mounted my Warn ctis and JW Speaker fogs.
The rear bumper was mounted and the reverse led's wired up.

I relocated my license plate to the spare and added a reverse camera so my wife doesn't crush my kids bikes again,lol.
I used a lock pick to add the camera to the factory nav and so my kids can watch movies. It works flawless and is super easy to install.
Here's my favorite mod yet.
I de badged the whole Jeep and added a 10th anniversary rubi sticker to the windshield but that will prob go to.
So, what's next? I'm selling the rock brawler II rear bumper and ordering the original rock brawler bumper. It's smaller and sits closer to the Jeep. I'm having the tub and inner rear fender wells line-x'd. I have to trim the rear wheel well of the tub before I head to Rausch Creek. I found out the hard way playing on some hills to test flex. Nothing a dead blow can't handle,lol. Drive shafts from Perry Hall Power Equipment, the guy who owns it is the biggest Jeeper I know(but hates jk's). I have 4.88's ready to go when my gear guy has a free Saturday to wrench with me. Mopar half doors from JEEPRUS. I may swap out the Teraflex tire carrier for the evo tire carrier and skins. Aaand a cage once the shine wears off the Jeep. If you have any questions or would like to see anything in particular just let me know. I'll add better pics of the Jeep to know that the weather seems to be breaking and I can actually clean the thing.

Good to see a build thread finally. Kinda funny you had a similar color unlimited as me before the anvil. I had a deep cherry red. Jeep looks great.
