    Default 08 Rescue Green Rubicon build

    So everything has finally come together and were putting the finishing touches up on the jeep this week.

    A basic parts list:

    Off Road Evolution 4" Double D kit
    EVO spec King 2.5 w/ Reservoir shocks
    Toyo 37x13.5R17 Open Country m/t
    Yukon 5:13 gears
    Coast 1310 Drive shafts
    LOD rear bumper
    Pure jeep Front 44 Backbone
    Off Road Evolution C2 axle gussets
    Off Road Evolution Front control Arm skids
    ******* Axle Sleeves
    JKS track bars
    Alloy USA front and rear shafts

    And a ton of other stuff that I'm forgetting..

    Here are some Before Shots:








    Heres a pic of the front axle after having everything welded up!!




    Overall we were really impressed with the EVO kit, we made a few changes to how the kit mounted because was getting welded on anyway and the kit left some of the stock control arm brackets hanging down low and could get hooked on something when wheeling. I dont have any pics of brackets that were made but ill get some posted as soon as I get the jeep back from Tim at Liquid Iron Industries.

    Also I should mention that this kit isn't as simple as bolting things up. The front Brackets get in the way of the exhaust so we ended up cutting out the exhaust and remaking parts of it. Other then that the kit is great. Everything is very beefy and we were impressed with it.

    Heres a pic of the front end all buttoned up



    Finally heres what it looks like now. This was as soon as it came off the lift for the first time. Were still waiting for a few more parts to come in so ill be sure to post up some more pictures when i pick the Jeep up!!
