Default New Rubi at Rausch 8/11/12

Finally got the new(as of late May) Rubi out to a real offroad park. It was certainly a change from wheeling my old WJ on 33's for the last 4 years.

Vehicle Specs:
2012 JK-R 6-speed, JCR dagger stubby, JCR belly skids, Warn vr-8000s
1970/72 CJ-5, 304 V8, 3-speed manual, SOA lift, 33x13.50 LTBs, locked f/r

Here's some pics:

Thanks! It was more of a bi-pod actually haha. I was able to just rock back and forth in the driver seat and get both wheels off.

However, that shot actually made me miss my WJ as I rarely lifted a tire in that super flexy couch. So now I want long arms in the JK haha

Great pics! I am going to get our stock '12 Rubicon Unlimited out this weekend so we can see how she does in stock form before I go crazy with the mods. It's crazy how capable they are in stock form. Thanks for sharing.

HUGE fan of the bumper and JCR. The workmanship was perfect and the lead time and pricing is seemingly impossible to beat. I got it locally powder-coated with a slight texture and mounted it up. Only issue I ran into was the crash bar on the newer JKs is boxed in on the ends, so that made it pretty difficult to get the skid plate bolts in....but nothing a little patience and ingenuity couldn't fix

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Those are from right in the beginning of the park pretty much behind the office, near all the concrete comp-course obstacles.
