Finally doing some overdue improvements to my `07 Rub 2d. Funny how life gets big the older I get...been waiting a few years to do this.
I`ve had this JK since new. I added a 4" Pro Comp stg 2 that summer `cause that`s all there was. Yeah, I know. Shoulda waited. Added JKS adj rear UCA`s in `08. GOOD STUFF. Expedition One f/r bumpers, Walker Evans beadloc w/35-12.5-17 GY MT/R`s, also in `08. Now after a few years of dd and offroading, it`s time. I`ll be swapping out PC to Metal Cloak 3 1/2" coils, MC LCA`s f/r and UCA frnt, MC tie rod & draglink, Artec gusset/truss f/r, Yukon 4.88`s, Synergy ball joints, Reid knuckles, CRV frnt axles, TF monster track bars f/r.
Here`s a few pix of progress.

 

how's the artec kit for the the front? install good? I'm thinking about getting it for mine also!

 

Their product is top-notch!!! The fitment is superb, even around the diffs. The install was pretty straightforward, JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. Just take your time and pre-heat as instructed to avoid warping. I highly recommend this product.

 

perfect thanks for the info !

 

Glad to help. \m/

 

Did some wheeling in western Maine mountains. Upgrades performed great! Really liking the 87:1 crawl ratio. 4.88's were the answer to the 35's and 4:1 tcase. Dropped mpg from 20 to 17.6. Not bad. Breathes alot easier with the Magnaflo cat back, in conjunction with the Superchips tuner, making crawling an effortless fun experience. About time.

 

Here at Rausch Creek for Fri & Sat 10-11. Cab't wait to hit some

Can't wait to hit some trails.

 

1200 mi Rausch Creek trip went awesome. All upgrades performed excellent. Traveled with 2 other 2d JK's and we all got similar mpg. Handled great at 75/80 both out and back. Metalcloak got it figured out. Their control arms are the shit. Killer flex with awesome road manners. No violent jarring like heims or johnnys at freeway speeds. Even through I84 construction! With 4.88's it's turning 3k @ 80 mph. 17mpg. Not too shabby.
