Default Rubicon X. Finally..

been a long time since i have posted anything on here. but i finally got back into the jeeps. Sold my 07 Unlimited once the new motors changed. So glad to be back and I purchased a 14 Rubicon X. To say that i am extremely pleased with it would be an understatement! It took about 2 weeks to find one, and had to drive about 4.5 hrs to get it but it was well worth it. In the process now of trying to figure out what the first mods will be for it. Didn't know what everyone suggested for long arm lifts. I had a 4in skyjacker long arm on my 07. And i was pleased with it but do not want to go back that route i believe. Believe i want to stay with the 4in but heck 6in is really not that more. any pros or cons? I appreciate all the info that i know everyone will leave. look forward to getting this thing even more set up then it is from the factory and build it for what it is ment to do!

thanks man! i do too. right where the fog lights end on both sides there are bolts that you can take off and make the bumper a good amount shorter. i would assume jeep made it this way so you can have more flex. which is awesome!

Absolutely plans for the new one. Pulled the end caps off the bumper already, threw a CB in it. Recovering from the down payment and then 2-3" lift and 35's going on it. Maximus3 winch plate on the way and a few other little goodies. Only time will tell.

Was lucky to score this color. Had to order it and it's quite the story behind the order. Many color changes happened on that order sheet.

I love the black but ended up going with the granite crystal.
