Interesting about the tire carrier and CHMSL mount differences.

It was interesting. I do not understand why they would want to produce so many different parts for the same purpose.

Nice Jeep! I agree, the bright white is a great color for the Wrangler. Bright white looks better covered in mud though.

That cover looks great. Unfortunate placement of the camera through his anatomy though. How did you cut the cover to get the camera through? Did you weld the edges so the cover doesn't tear as it flaps in the breeze?

It's not just a Jeep, it's an amusement park on wheels.

Yeah I am digging the white. Mud will happen when we finally get some free time. The wife is in the middle of chemo and it eats up all of our time right now. The cover was welded on the edges and cut tight to camera stem. The locking cover holds it in place and does not allow it to flap. I also love the placement of the camera but my sense of humor is warped.

I am no fan of mud either! Spent the last couple days in the sun running state Forrest land. Glad I had a sun top!

One of the many things unique about the Rubicon on the JL. The rear tire was lowered for better visibility on the Sport and Sahara but they wanted to maintain departure angle and ability to mount a 35 on the Rubicon so they have unique parts. There are many little things that are different on Rubicon now. Since you have one of each see if you can find them all :)

Love the JL sans rear bumper.

It is growing on me. I had plans to build a bumper but I may leave it this way.

I am finding items all the time that are different. So far I have front bumper, back bumper, flares, suspension, tire carrier, and hood. A question about the suspension. Are the controll arms different lengths also? I am transferring the coils and lift off of Jethro “the Rubi” to Jumomjeep shortly and have not had time to check control arms yet.

So tires for Jumomjeep showed up. And we got the doors off finally. Also some parts for Jethro are starting to show up.

Whick RK lift did you go with & how are you liking it so far? How about the coopers? Are they noisy?

I have the 37 version of those tires. I do hear a bit of noise from them but it’s hardly noticeable with all the other noise the JL makes. Not an issue at all for me.

. Went with the Flex system for now. Shipping shows the rest of the kit showing up tomorrow. Coopers are a little noisy but I would say the quietest mud tire I have ran to date. IMO it sounds perfect on a Jeep.

So being ride quality is subjective I have an opinion forming now. On road Rk hit this out of the park for my vision of good ride quality. I gained back the height that the factory coils were sagging from the winch and bumper. It smoothed out the harsh affect when you hit a square edge such as a pot hole. The amount of non body roll is perfect when cornering aggressively. And the coil rate is spot on for the jl. I am a happy camper with the lift. My original plan was to try EVO coils on Jumomjeep but I think another Rockkrawler is going onto it. The coil seats for the front work superbly at keeping the coils straight as a bonus.

I find it hard to believe your coils were sagging already.
