  • AngryTj's Rubicon Build

    Whats goin on guys I've been meaning to start a build thread on SIS for a little while now and todays the day.

    Purchased a stock 2005 Black Rubicon back in May-ish. The Jeep had about 60000 miles and it didnt stay stock long. The plan for the build was make a reliable weekend warrior that still drives great on the road.

                damn dude, this thing looks great

                def a super clean jeep.

                I got the part no. for the shocks we use with the outboard kit at 4" of lift. They're 11" travel as well so looks like you found the rights ones
                No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.
