JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! 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.

Thumbs up Project-JK's RubiCAT Gettin EVO'd UP at Off Road Evolution!!

Been meaning to bump this thread for a while now but, we finally got RubiCAT over to Off Road Evolution so that it can get EVO'd UP!! Here are a few shop pics highlighting its transformation.

Getting our very first holes drilled into RubiCAT...


But, it's all worth it in the end...


We're still waiting on Rocker Guards to finish it up but, even without them, I think it looks pretty badass...


After hacking off all the factory control arm mounts and cleaning up the frame rails, it's time to start burning in some EVO high clearance long arm mounts...




Ta-Da...




Installation of the all NEW EVO bolt on front coil over system...












Time to burn on the EVO high clearnace long arm front control arm mounts...




While all that's going on, work begins on getting a set of EVO C2 Gussets get installed on our factory Dana 44 front axle...








More Pics Posted Below...

Great shot of the rear all linked up and showing just how much clearance you get with the EVO high clearance long arm brackets...






Shot of the front linked up showing how awesome the clearance is up front as well...






Some finished pics of the front axle completed with C2 Gussets and an EVO draglink flip kit installed...






Not sure if it'll work but, we thought we'd try to see if we could get a 2007-11 PSC ram assist to work on a 2012...






Hope to get you more pics soon

Awesome! And the attention to detail - wish all shops had that.

I see you mentioned running 37s. Planning on sleeving the axle? Or just wait till it breaks and buy new 60

Are you going to re-gear for the 37's?

A bolt in front coil over not a weld in? Do tell! What are the details on this new system compared to the weld in version?

Don't know for sure but, we're hoping so.

Nah, we never sleeved Moby and doubt that we'll need them on Rubicat. We just got what we know we needed and will deal with whatever comes our way as always. In the mean time, we'll be saving for a ProRock 44... maybe a 60

nope. we're just gonna run the stock 4.10 gears specifically so that we can get a good feel for what it's like. if after running it for a while we decide a higher ratio is needed, we'll address it at that time.

well, we're not done yet but, when we are, this is what we'll have:

• EVO long arm kit with high clearance brackets
• EVO drag link flip kit
• EVO entry level bolt in coil over system front & rear
• 37x12.50 Nitto Trail Grapplers
• ATX Slab bead lock wheels
• PSC street ram assist
• JE Reel 1350 drive shafts front and rear
• EVO ProTek skid system
• EVO C2 gussets
• EVO front stinger bumper
• EVO rocker skins and rock rails
• LoD rear bumper tire carrier
• Truck-Lite LED headlights
• Truck-Lite LED spot lights
• WARN PowerPlant winch
• Viking synthetic winch rope

we'll most likely be picking up some front chromoly shafts sooner than later but, for the most part, that should be about it.
