My rubicon build

Haven’t posted in a while so here’s some updates. Me and some buddies are leaving Wednesday headed up to northern Michigan to go play in the snow with our northern homies. Jeep is currently with @Jody Treadway getting some 5.13’s and front chrome’s installed.
 
In preparation for the 13+ hours drive to bfe Michigan I ditched the fuel cell and put the factory tank back in. Also got a fresh set of 38in. Pattaguccis and got em mounted on some bead grip methods. Should be a pretty rowdy setup

Just above Traverse city
Like how far north? elk rapids, kewadin, east Port, charlevoix?


Not that I’d know or anything hahaha.

Edit: I guess technically Acme is in between TC and ER. This is of course if you’re not talking about going up old mission or lelanau peninsulas.

We stayed at the guernsey lake camp ground. And rode 2 tracks in between kalkaska and traverse city
 
Had a super good trip up to Michigan. Put 1,844 miles on the tj this trip… not bad for a rock crawler. It was super cold and there was plenty of snow. And we only had one brake in the group of 12+ rigs. Not bad!

I just watched that video on YouTube today. It looked fun, and cold!
 
Figured I’d post an update on the shitbox since it’s been a while. Got a Genright tire carrier and rear quarter armor a while back. And just picked up a Tentrax tent in preparation for another Michigan trip in January

Well, here is the shit box as it currently sits. Haven’t done too much too it other than put some kc cyclones on the grille for running lights. I think I’m about done with this one, I gotta tweak a few things and she is going up for sale soon if anyone would be interested. I’ve been wanting to build a gx470 for a while now so I think I’m finally gonna make it happen
