I see different bumpers, different wheels, different ride height, and the four-wheeling-tools mount on the back. Anything else? I can't tell if the stocker is a Rubicon or not, but I imagine not, so that would also be upgraded or replaced axles, right?
It's a Sahara, because we wanted the body color fenders and interior upgrades.
I wanted the ability of a Rubicon, but not the electric lockers, or the 4 to 1 t-case, which is too low for some trails. I do need the low, low in some situations, so the Rubicrawler 3 speed case is always an option.
The axles have ARB LOCKERS AND 5:13 gears. I'm going to 5:38 gears soon because I went from 35" tires to 37" tires. The lift is a 4.5 AEV suspension, kit designed by former Jeep Engineer Jim Fens' company, Nth Degree, now owned by AEV.
The front axle is being rebuild right now, with a Pro-Rock 44, 1/2" axles tubes, heavy duty "C's", HD ball joints and a high steer kit on Reid Racing Knuckles and the topper; J-8 brakes by Black Magic, which swap out the wimpy JK brakes for 13.5" rotors and dual piston calipers, from the J8, 100% OEM and nearly a lot in conversion.
The air system utilizes a Thomas Air compressor, a larger version of the unit found on the AMG Humvee and H1.
A 2 gallon air tank with enough air pressure to seat beads and run air tools and fill those tires in just a few minutes.
An sPOD, electrical distribution system and a CB and Ham radio, an ARB Fridge-Freezer and two iOS interface cables and two USB ports, along with two 11" screens in the rear seats and one 8" dash screen for Sat NAV and video when parked. The rear screens can play while underway, a back up camera and two "wheel" cams, with two additional video in jacks for GoPro or whatever. Sirius Sat Radio and GPS and iPad interface.
Internal Rockhard roll cage and Mastercraft grab handles, Camp box and tool kits, with two air tool quick couplers, one starboard and one port.
ARB diff covers with inspection plate and dip stick. Banks Air Ram box and aftermarket exhaust, adds about 2 mpg and sounds great. Raceline custom backset beadlocks, to match the factory back spacing and track. JK'S sway bar disconnects.
To come: AEV. Front bumper and Warn Zenon winch. If in SoCal you can see it at OffRoad Expo, or at Forest Fest, in the All J Products booth.
