Time for my JK to Evolve - Highoctane Anvil '15 Rubicon Unlimited build

[highoctane]

Father/daughter/dog day in the garage wrenching on the Jeep today.

Just a small portion of the parts to install today. Jeep goes to Drew and the guys at Offroad Evolution tomorrow!

One side of the frame cut. Need to run out and get some more blades for the sawzall.

Someone else got side tracked when it came time to wash the rear frame section.

Good cuts. That's a ton of work. I assume you're using WD40 or the like?

It's not too bad. Just a good tri-metal blade in my DeWalt recip saw, and some lubricating oil from my drill set. Cleaning everything up with a fine flat file.

Got the frame trimmed and primed. All finished with the rear fascia and d-ring mounts. Btw, FUCK FLAG NUTS! I'm CDO as hell so I'm going to tape off the areas around the d-ring mounts and frame rail ends and seal/fill in the gaps with some caulking, then paint it all black to match the powder coat.

Red accents look sweet. Did you mean OCD? If not, what's CDO?

All I can say is WOW, and can't wait to see the finished product!

Man, I'm really liking that rear fascia more and more. Build is shaping up to be incredible. Best of luck with everything!

Thanks! So ocd you have to put the letters in alphabetical order.









Onto the next project!

Yep! I don't have Facebook, but I saw it on my Instagram feed.

Rig is looking sick! Are you putting any fenders on the rear?

Nope! They will be welding a tube onto the bottom of the corners then powder coating them black. It'll look like this when done.

Awesome, can't wait to see the entire finished product. :thumbup::beer:

I could be wrong, but this might be the PR80 going under my JK! Looks like they just picked it up from Dynatrac. Last I saw on Instagram they were getting ready to cut off all the stock suspension brackets and then install the Evo Mfg DTD/Evo Lever parts.

The rear armor should look awesome. Is it getting color matched powder coated or black? Are you doing evo carrier? Front fender armor with a flair?

It's all getting powder coated in textured black. No front fender armor. Will just be trimming the front flares. Might go with Poison Spyder narrow front flares in the future just because they are the best looking IMO. Still haven't decided on a tire carrier. Not sure if I want something hanging so far off the back of my Jeep.
