Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default New Shoes back today

I just got my Rubi back from the shop today. 4" terraflex with MX6 shocks. It is allot taller than I expected. I guess once i get the bumpers it may calm down a bit. I took it out for a stretch earlier but I did not have much time. I know I went against the grain and put white out. I just like the look better than all black.

Here are a few poser shots.

Before it went in on Monday.


When I got it back today.


Fitting into the garage.


Out in the hills.


A little flex. A good start anyway.

That is what I thought. It was parked near another JK with 5.5" lift and 35's and mine was the same height. I still have to remember how tall it is before I get out. I am told it will settle down over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks.
I was not sure if I liked it when I first saw it. I didn't want to be stranded on pavement. for the rest of my life. On the street it handles pretty much like a lifted truck, a little bouncy and the tires catch a grove once in a while. Not as bad as other tires I have had. I need to drop the air in the tires a bit to see if it helps. The ride is slightly firmer than stock but I am not sure if it is shocks or tires at this point.
Off-road it did very well. The ride was good but it was just a few hill climbs and one mound of dirt before I had to head home. After driving it for a day it has grown on me. I am very happy with it now.

Very nice! The red beadlock rings and the redrock color go together very well! I wouldnt have guessed that combo would look as good as it does.

Thanks!
The rings really reflect light compared to the body paint so they blend sometimes and stand out others. I am happy with the way they turned out. If I get burned out it is only 150 bolts off and 150 bolts on to swap them out.
