AJK's 17 Rubi

Recommended Posts

Purchased new in Nov 2017 with the intention of doing a 3-inch lift on 35's and leaving it be. Boy was I wrong.

This was after the lift and 35's. I told myself I was done....

After breaking my front axle I decided to go with 37s, PR44. and wrapped the rig in Evo products. That lasted maybe a year.

After twisting up my rear axle I decided to upgrade to UD60s, 40inch Nitto tires, KMC wheels, PSC steering, Hardrock4x4 cage, Evo long arms, Bestop NX soft top, all Synergy steering, and Genright aluminum front bumper and tire carrier. Right now, I really love the way the jeep is working but you know, you're never really done.

I didn't know that you got the genright bumper and tire carrier.  Geez we really are twins!

Yeah after Trails Hero and talking with the Genright crew and seeing the difference in clearance and weight, I switched. Super happy.

Your rig has come a long away. Looks baddass.

So the last two times I went out I got twisted up enough where I peeled the antenna mounting tabs on the EVO skins and figured enough's enough. I intended to just a cut it off but then that will leave a huge gaping hole so I started grinding without a plan and this happened.

 Letting the steel cool down from the welding and grinding and I'll prep and paint.

Well shit. Should I just keep as spare and rotate the other four?

If it isn't leaking and didn't cut the bead I would just run it.  I have some chunks like that out of mine.  Normally the rubber is extra thick right there so it doesn't really hurt them.
