Robb's 08' JKU Rubi Build(AKA Sarge)
New to the form but not new to the Jeep world. Owned a TJ for 8 years and built that up. Had to break down and buy a JKU. Have 2 kids that I want to take wheelin. So found a 08 JKU Rubi that is extremely clean and only 23,500 miles on it. Did a ton of research on lifts and long arm kits. Came down to Poly and Teraflex. Ended up going with the Teraflex do to cost of Poly. Did the 6" elite long arm from teraflex. Also did the matching Fox racing resi shocks. Front inner axle tubes and inner c braces. Also installed the spin tech locking hub conversion and up graded to all new chromoly axle shafts front and rear. Added 37 13.50 17 Toyos with race line monster bead locks.
Jeep rides better than and handles like a car. Very pleased with it do far.
Future add ons will be custom built sliders w/ PSC rocker armor, customer bumpers, on board air, gears, and 1 tons.
Enjoy!
Before any mods. The way I bought it

Started doing the rear bumper today. I also relocated the rear swaybar where in mounts to the frame. I pushed the rear axle back and 1 1/2" so the endlinks were rubbing on the axke housing. I cut out the rear frame cross member and cut the rear frame rails to give me a tighter fit on the rear bumper and better departure angle. Will start on the rear bumper tomarrow.
