If you could find someone with a Rubicon factory sway bar and electronic disconnect that has a bad motor, or they ended up replacing it with a Currie, or some other brand, it'll bolt into place, and you can use this to replace the motor with, and bypass running any wiring. MUCH easier than link disconnects.

And to whoever said the comment about building their own instead of buying a Rubi, and that it'd be cheaper...I understand and get the building it yourself thing, BUT, cheaper...not so sure. By the time you add 44's, if yours had a 30 in it, lockers front and rear, and rock sliders, sway bar discos, just to name the main extras a Rubicon has, that stuff adds up. I guess if you got a great deal on a non Rubi, it could be possible, though.

They will "tell" you anything until something breaks and then claim that its not covered.

6"s is nuts for a daily driver JKU....max I would go would be a 3.5" lift with 35s. That being said be prepared to replace at least your front driveshaft and you will want to regear after running 35s for a while.

Welcome to the sickness....

LOL, I'm sitting at about 6" with 37's, and even though I have a F350 crew cab, this has been my daily driver the entire 3 weeks it's been lifted...it's an addiction, this is my second. I can't wait for the weather to get good enough around here to go topless. I've already lost the doors 3-4 times the past few weeks.

LOL, yeah, those are Hella Rallye 4000's, 9" lights. They're insanely bright, too. I love them. I bought them with intentions of mounting them to the stinger, somehow, and I had the Warns, that are on the stinger in this pic, on the windshield mounts. When I got them out, and started holding them up to different spots, I realized, these things are big, they're going to hide the turn signals, be in the way of the winch, or just hit each other, then the thought hit me to mount them up there. I put the Warns on the bumper, and then held the Hellas up to the windshield mount, and dang if they didn't touch the windshield. Those are Rugged Ridge windshield mounts, so I went to Home Depot, and found a short piece of channel steel that capped over the RR mount perfectly. I cut a couple of pieces about 2-2.5" long, and drilled 2 holes each in them, one to bolt it to the mount, and one for the light to bolt to. After spraying them with Dupli-Color bedliner, they blended in perfectly. Used stainless cap screws and nuts to hold them on.
