I decided to start a build thread to show what I have done to my Jeep over the past 5+ years and the changes I continue to make today. I’m not at the point where I am looking to tear everything down and start over (as the thread name may imply), but I have constantly tweaked or am trying new things. Hopefully this will help answer questions that other people may have when looking to start a build or changing things up.
Most importantly, I felt the need to add another 2 door thread to the mix. This began as a 2008 Rubicon in Red Rock Crystal with 4.10 stock gearing.
Where to begin… I started with the Rubicon suspension and 14/57 springs with the tow package. I cycled through JKUR 18/59 springs, a 2.5” BB, 18/59 springs and the BB, and even added a body lift to it. I scrapped all that and went with a Rock Krawler 2.5” lift. I now run a Rock Krawler X-Factor 3.5” lift. I have ran the stock 32’s, 35’s and 37’s. More changes coming soon. I’ll try to cover everything along the way. There are some install things that I don’t have pictures of and other things I will omit (brake pad/rotor changes, etc).
My goals from the beginning were to maximize my spending to fun ratio and do mods I wanted only once (doing it right the first time). My preferences changed a lot, so that went out the window early on. I ran it stock for awhile before starting to build. I have done everything in my garage ever since.
