So I picked up a Rubi Hard Rock in Billet on 10/28/15 after trading in my 12" JK Sport which I stripped most of the mods off of. Part of the negotiation deal I made with the wife.
Didn't take long to start the new build as I was recycling some of the used stuff along with new parts purchased for the new rig.
Here she is bone stock and then after swapping out the weak stock headlights for heated Trucklites removed from my 12'. Also mounted the Mopar hoop I picked up for the 10a bumper and added Drake Grille inserts in matte black.

Next new add was a Rubicon Express 2.5" Spacer Lift and recycled the Teraflex HD Tire Carrier so I will be all set when I put my Duratrac 35's back on in the spring.I'm also reusing the Teraflex license plate relocation kit taken off my old rig.

The yellow stock Foglight bulbs were making me nuts when compared to the Trucklites so I picked up a cheap set of LED bulbs for $22.Its been about a month now and no issues so far and they match the color and output of the Trucklites really well.The stock fog is on the left in case you couldn't tell HaHa.

Next recycle was adding the storage box I built for my 12'.Really need the extra storage as Jeep in all their wisdom decided one of the few storage spaces in the floor was a great place to put the Sub for the Alpine system.That said I had to cut a hole in my cargo mat in order not to block the the Sub.

That's it for now but more mods to follow soon!
Thanks for all the welcome waves from you Wayalifers and I just wanted to update with a few of the latest mods completed on my new project JK.
Had a set of Bushwhacker flatties on my previous rig so I was looking to do the same on the Rubi. I especially like the fact that they are so much easier to clean up than the stock flares given that the majority of the trails that I run here in Northern Ohio are nuthin but mud and clay. The added clearance being the biggest advantage especially when I go back to 35's in the spring.
Saw these Drake Door Inserts at a Jamboree a couple months ago before I had the Rubi and thought they would be a good compliment to the Billet color.
That's it for now but but will be sharing more here soon as latest mods are in process!
