Please don't disown me....

I wanted a four door Rubi about 5 years ago before they even existed. Also wanted a V8. Built this instead.

I vote disown. Just kidding,i work for warrior products, we make good quality stuff for your junk. Hope you enjoy it.
 
Well... um... they look good sitting in the garage mounted up on the H2s. :doah:

I'm due to start swapping all the parts I've been collecting real soon.

LOL! I have got a pile in my garage but it is now starting to move into the house (much to my fiancee's annoyance!) :whistle:

Sweet multi-quote!
My buddy LOVES his KM2's. I plan to get a set when I get a few bucks in the bucket.

LOL! Thanks bro! On the KM2's- just go one size up from what you want! (everything I have read says they tend to run small)

I like it! I've always loved the ARB front bumper on a ZJ!!! I wanted that bumper for the one I used to have:

LOL! Looks good!!!! :thumb: (Looks about a 2" lift, Rubicon rims and 265's? The wheels look great on it!)

Wish you guys made tube doors for ZJs.

There would probably be a pretty decent market for them, I used to run mine doorless a good bit! :thumb:

:eek1: BAN HIM!!! :D

:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:
 
Had one of the Black Rock wheels mounted in a tire and I think I am going to run them instead of the Classic II's. They look MEAN!!! Here is a pic with the wheel/tire combo rolled up next to my Jeep:

Good looking wheel. Some don't like the black wheel look. I think that one fits the lines of the vehicle pretty good.

Thanks bro! When I ordered them, I actually didn't know if I would like them or not. The backspacing, size, and price were perfect for my application though so, I bought them and I was hoping I would learn to love them! LOL! But, once I got that one mounted and rolled it up next to the Jeep, I do freakin love 'em! :pimp:

This thread is not good for me... ... or my blazer:haha::doah:

Wheels look great :waytogo:

LMAO!!! :haha: Thanks bro!!! :thumb:
 
When you have time, do you think you could take a pic of what it looks like inside with the rear seat folded down? Just curious about the setup in the event that I ever break down and buy one of these (thinking about the dogs in the back, or when I would haul stuff back there)
 
lookin good :waytogo:

Thanks bro! :D

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here bro! My computer is having MAJOR problems, this is my third try at responding! :mad:

Okay, here goes-

View of the folded down split bench from the side (it folds down pretty flat BUT, the gap bugs me so, to haul dogs I would want to make a filler panel):

One more pic, we drove around topless all day sunday! (topless Jeep, not topless people, LOL!) My fiancee LOVED it!!!! We ended up getting home right before it started raining:

Thanks man :bow: and no worries about taking too long. I appreciate you trying three times to post those pics! :yikes:

I agree about that gap in the floor, I suppose a plastic mat of some sort, or a thin sheet of plywood would solve that problem. I'd try finding something to put a bedliner finish on maybe (but then I'd need a mat for the dogs on top of that :doah: bedliner is hard on the elbows! (For the dogs, of course :haha:)

Do you think you could fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in there? Probably would have to be stood up, but that could damage the side panels.. Probably would have to go with a good trailer.

Awesome looking jeep. Looks like fun. :waytogo:

Thanks bro! I am enjoying the Jeep so far! I can't wait to add some mods to it and do some wheelin though!!! :thumb:

I really doubt a 4x8 sheet could fit in the back. If I get time tomorrow, I will take some measurements of the available space.
 
SOOO...
I am a total slacker, sorry DK5... I finally took some measurements today!

Length of the cargo area (with back seats folded down) from the most bulging spot on the tailgate (the end where the handle is) to the rear headrests (so, the minimum cargo area length): 60"

Minimum cargo area height (from load floor to dome light mounted in "sport bar" (or whatever they call it since they aren't allowed to call it a rollcage): 35.5"

Cargo area width at wheelwells: 42"

BUT, good luck getting something 42" wide in due to- cargo area width at rear opening (measured from tailgate latch to subwoofer): 35"

Needless to say, a 4x8 sheet of plywood is a no-go!!! :doah:

Lemme know if there are any more measurements you need bro, I will try to get them in a bit more timely a manner!!! :D
 
:bow: No problem! To be honest, I probably won't get a jeep. I'm going to try to improve my K5 first... if that doesn't go well then I might retire it (I will never sell it though! I hope!) and buy something else

Thanks for posting up the measurements though! That gives me some clarity as to how much room there actually is in those rigs. Utility trailer would be a must if I get one.
 
Ive been looking into a Rubicon but heard they have bad fuel mileage what do you think thanks?
 
New or used? The 2012 comes out next month and should get better mileage and 80 more horses. Also keep in mind jk 4drs weigh over 4000 lbs. So in town mileage will always be kinda poor

No problem bro! Yeah, utility trailer is definitely a must! For being a Jeep Wrangler, it's got tons of room inside BUT, it's still a Jeep Wrangler, LOL!

I get an average of 15mpg BUT, that's a lot of in town and heavy throttle!

Yup, the 2012 will get the Pentastar and the 5 speed auto (6 speed manual is a carry over), both will help mileage, they say it's expected to go up by 20% so, if one drives like me, 18mpg average would be likely. We'll see though... Yeah, they are HEAVY pigs now!!!! Mine is gonna get even heavier this weekend (if things go according to plan)- gonna be bolting a bunch of mods on!!!! :thumb:
