Let's preface this with the fact that I'm mostly an overlander with occasional dicey sections about 5-6 times a year.

What's your take on Moab Industries? There's a local dealer that has a few of them. I've seen their website and understand that they basically build Jeeps for dealers like the one near me. They seem to be using DV8 bumpers, Smittybilt winches, Fox shocks and their own brand of lift components. The builds seem pretty beefy to me and up to the task. They have a 2020 that I'm interested in built up from a Rubicon for $62k. It's on 37's but the tires I'm not overly familiar with.

Anyone here have one or experience with one in the past? Is this a complete no-go or maybe so? Any input before I sign any contract would be appreciated.

So its a company that buys a bunch of bolt on stuff and sells thru a dealer so you can finance the whole thing?

From the description on their web site I would stay away from them. Looks like they prey on people that don't know what hey are buying and sell the product based on looks.

Looks like they powder coat the factory arms red and add a drop bracket. Smittybilt is know as shittybilt for a reason. You are getting ripped off if you buy it. Looks like you would be paying about $19,000 for a cheap lift, cheap winch, cheap tires and some leather seat covers.

That's why I come to you guys! I honestly wasn't familiar with them and was wondering. I'll steer clear. Thanks crew

Some pics of the vehicle in question just for poops and giggles...

Maybe my eyes as deceiving me but it looks like it's got a full spacer lift with the factory coils just painted red. I guess they lure you in with the fox shocks.
