Been poking around here for a week or 2 and am very excited about getting back to wheeling after a 15+ year hiatus (Previous rig was an XJ). Just purchased a 2011 JK Rubicon with what appears to be a lot of factory options, however I dont know exactly what all Ive got. Here is what is readily visible:

Fox performance series 2.0 "mopar" shocks with external reservoir and fox steering stabilizer.
Teraflex "mopar" speed bump bump stops
Poison Sypder diff covers (no idea if I have stock 4.1 gears or if they were changed... not sure how I can tell?)
Warn winch mounted on unknown bumper. Tire and hi lift carrier mounted on unknown bumper with water reservoir.
Hutchinson Rock Monster beadlock wheels.
35x12.50 Goodyear MT/R
RIPP supercharger
Magnaflow exhaust

Would appreciate any feedback from the forum veterans to help me get a better idea of what Ive got (and thoughts on the leak coming down brake line inside driver side wheel well). Im happy to snap more pics too, really excited folks! And thanks in advance!







Oil/fluid is present coming down brake line from engine compartment. Not sure what the source is.

 

Welcome back to the forums and the crazy jeep life that we enjoy. It looks like a Mopar branded Teraflex lift kit. For your leak- potentially a spit up of diff fluid (from what I've seen others mention, never had it myself). Your bumpers are AEV/ Mopar branded as well. Someone put some decent money into a dealer to have it look this way.

 

Thanks karls10jk much appreciated! Any ideas as to the size of factory lift?

About the leak, I forgot to mention this previously, but when I inspected the Jeep pre purchase and post test drive I did not see the wetness but then after buying it and driving it home on the freeway approx 40 miles I looked underneath and discovered the leak. Does that change your opinion at all?

Thanks again.

 

AEV Stands for American Expedition Vehicle. They make some very nice Jeep Parts. They are listed as the Premium Off Road Bumpers/Rock Rails/etc from MOPAR. Since you have the Tubeless Front Bumper, my guess would be that you have MOPAR Premium AEV Parts.
AEV Front Tubeless Bumper $1,215
The Winch Mounting Hardware is $285 to mount the winch using the AEV Bumper.
AEV Rear Bumper $790
Water Reservoirs Tank Kit $145
AEV Tire Carrier $842
AEV Hi-Lift Jack and Pull-Pal Mount $215
You did not show the Front Skid Plate, but if it has a couple 2" X 2" Cut-outs even with the bottom of the bumper it is an AEV Skid Plate set up for jacking with the Hi-Lift Jack mounted on the back $330. The Cut-Outs are to keep the jack from sliding sideways. The rear bumper has Tabs to steady the jack on each side just above the rear shackle mount location.
If it has Rock Rails that are Two Tubes that extend out some they are AEV also. Premium Rock Rails. The factory Rubicon ones are pretty much just angle iron armor.

The Wheels, Trussed Rear Dana 44 and Reservoirs Shocks. Some one set it up to be capable of some serious wheeling.
I have ran several sets of MT/R tires on a Police Package Cherokee. Great traction, soft ride, not so great tire mileage was my experience with them.

Someone spent some serious coin getting your Jeep perfected from the looks of things. As was said above it could have been special ordered with most everything on it to start with. It looks like it has been the way it is for a very long time.
The parts that you have are worth cleaning up and keeping. I did not notice anything dinged up under it, so my guess would be that this was set up as a very capable trail rig and not abused.

I think that you have stumbled into a keeper.

You should run the VIN and check the Build Sheet on your Jeep. How to do this is listed here somewhere here on this site.

You can measure it and search for "stock jk curb height" and you'll be able to compare it. I wouldn't think more than 2.5-3" though. Both axles are trussed and there's C gussets up front. There's some money there if the welds are sticking to the axle properly. Typically you'll have new ball joints put in with the gussets so I wouldn't be surprised to see grease fittings on those/ ball joints. What's interesting (and high dollar) is the kit having the Teraflex speed bumps (though they don't function super well), but someone took the time to add limit straps as well.

A side note on your fox shocks- I believe they're rebuildable and if they are then that's a task that should be done every 50k miles to maintain the best performance from them.

 

Welcome to JKF. Karl has nailed everything already so I'll just say....I've always loved those Hutchinson wheels.

 

Bob, big thanks for all the detailed information!

I have run the VIN it comes back with 6 pages of standard and optional equipment but the descriptions about the AEV and teraflex stuff is fairly minimal:

Spring - Left FrontSpring - Left RearSpring - Right FrontSpring - Right RearCustomer Preferred Package 2TRCustomer Preferred Package 24R Performance Suspension Rear Stabilizer Bar Electronic Front Sway Bar Disconnect Full Size Spare Tire Outside Tire Carrier Fuel Tank Skid Plate Shield Transfer Case Skid Plate Shield2 Front & 1 Rear Tow Hooks Black Front Bumper Black Rear Bumper Rock Rails Black Front Frame Overlay etc etc

Seems the only item that wasnt ordered was a NAV system (assuming that was available on the 2011 model year). It appears it does have the AEV rock rails and the AEV skid plate and you can see the 2x2 holes in the pic of the front bumper. Considering it has 48k miles on the odometer it appears to have been well taken care of, in fact the carfax is chock full of dealer and shop maintenance records

Ive gotten it out in the desert around my neighborhood and it performs really well. I was initially a bit concerned about 35s and stock gearing but so far so good. I plan to give it a real test this weekend.

 

Thanks for the info karls10jk. I too was thinking 2.5-3" but didnt know if there was a "standard" factory offering of one or the other. I found the measurement technique you are referring on this site, I will give that a go. Seeing that I am nearing 50k, I might have the shocks checked out. I need to find a reputable shop here in the Phoenix area as I would prefer to stay away from dealer pricing.

Regarding the TF bumpstops, I noticed one is currently extended further down than the other... is that normal behavior?
