About my Wrangler

I was building this rig when another fell in my lap. As a result it is now my daily driver and a loaner rig for friends who want to wheel with me.

It has a 2.5" lift with Rev111 high clearance fenders and cut rear fenders to run 37 inch iroc wheels. The rig is built to run street most of the time, with ACOS spacers so that I can dial them up for off road letting me run 2.5 on the street and 3.5 on the trails.

The jeep is fully armored, and has seen its share of rocks. This jeep basically started as a stock rubicon, got armor all around, then lifted one inch in the body. after that it got a 4" RockKrawler long arm lift, and 33's. the next step was lifting the rear fender flared, and cutting the rear fenders and installing the rev111 fronts. With these she clears 37 inch irocs. The next generation will be lowering the suspension again from 4 inches to 2.5 inches in the suspension. Then more cutting and possibly comp cuts in the rear to bring it back to 37 inch wheels again.
