Hi everyone i'm just about ready to pull the trigger on abunch of stuff and would like opinions comments suggestions or whatever.

the jeep is an 08 rubicon 4door already have installed a shrockworks midwidth a warn 9.5ti and some kc lites and a tuffy overhead console.

going to order a full traction ultimate 3", some 5.13 gears , shrockworks sliders,either some aev pintler wheels or run the stockers going to be running 35" mtr's and a shrockworks tire carrier when they are availible.

anything i am missing or should be re thought.this is my seventh jeep and my second jk but the plan is to keep this one around so i wanna do it right

 

Cold Air intake is an absolute must to wake this thing up.

Exhaust helps too.

 

Sounds like some nice stuff...I am more of a fan of the Shrockworks stubby than the midwidth. Especially if you are adding lights anyway. But that's just me.

 

the cold air intake is a good thought but the exaust i think i will leave alone it all seems too sound like ricer crap.and for the mid width i wanted tha factory fogs and off road spot lites. thanx for the replies keep em coming

 

Why the 5.13 gears w/ the 35"s?

(not disagreeing, just trying to learn here............ )

 

the hope is to regain close to stock power

 

5.13's are what guys are running with 37's but you can go with them and it should be great besides if you want to go bigger tires later then you have the gearing, and they are the same price as the 4.88's. I say go with them.


You missed one thing...lol...a CB for when you go wheeling, and with this Rubi and all this cool stuff you will go wheeling ...right?

 

already have the cb installed,and yes i plan on beating it too death
there is a formula to tell you what gears you need to get close to stock performance any one have it ?

 

Good answer and the wheeling it part, but try not to beat it up to hard . Must post pics when you get your parts installed, or you will have some mad people on here . 14 posts and the disease has set in...hehehe...good luck with that, I hear its non cureable.

 

Yeah the formula for larger tires is:
(new size/old size)xgear ratio=x
ex. (37"/32")x4.11=4.75 ring and pinion

Since they don't make a 4.75 ratio and I have all the extra weight with bumpers and skids and things i went with 5.13's on 37's.
