. Rock crawler can be stock too....all that matters is how you use it.

I prefer it lower so cant call it a mall crawler though im not dropping off rocks and going up to my sills in water and mud still like to see others do that but if I wanted that id buy a atv my jeep is to get me around and get me to the spots I cant get with a car or truck with out getting stuck yet I don't need a lift.
tires were my first mod wich lead to tire carriers and bumpers im trying to stop at that but I might need springs due to front bumper if I add a winch ill need more spring rate I only go to the mall when I need something I live in the mountains of nh call it what you will I had a 2011 sport traded it for a rubicon did I have to no . but life is easyer for me not having to regear and replace my axles and add elec disco better shocks you know and also have to constantly bring it in and pay a mechanic and downtime if that's conciderd a mall crawler I realy don't care ! I got stuck with my rubicon and couldn't get out in 4 lo tried rockin it . rememberd I had lockers and hit the button . presto it was like a helecoptor tied on to me I was out in a second . To me that's why I bought the rubicon over another sport . to much agrivation with a sport when all I needed was low transfer gear , and stronger axles and buttons, without getting out
rock sliders on the lower doors, 410 gearing, ac wich my sport didn't have . I have been to the mall but I don't crawl there , I prefer the back dirt roads but not destroying my investment

yeh i had 6 inch lift
but funny though everyone was like( let me know if you ever want to get rid of it !) I mean yes it rolled over stuff easyer but I actually like my rubicon unlifted better always wonderd about owning a jeep
there was something that seemed to fit me better about a jeep yet never bought one ! ill say this
if Chrysler dosent improve there quality control and service I will return to a truck next round but hell for right now the rubicon is doing its job well but ( I wonder about the ticking they call normal )

Build it how you want. But there are those who try to turn it into something it is not meant to be. Lowering and slick speed rated tires on a jeep is like putting 40" mudders on a lifted Ferrari. It can be done, but why?
At that point, an incorrect vehicle choice as the base chassis was made.
