Good place to start....
just picked up 2017 Red Rubicon Recon (RRR) . Now the fun begins
1st on the list is a 3.5 inch lift kit from Metal Cloak. Done a bunch of research and there are alternatives but for the money and the capability I am looking for this looks like the best bet. I am told that Ken (Kens hardware) is a dealer on this forum, would like to get in touch with him if I can.
Next will be wheels & Tires.
Wheels will be Fuel D583 ANAZ in Matte Bronze with black trim rings. Will wrap them in a set of BFG KM2 35/12.50x 17 tires.
Don't laugh, but a set of Electric steps will be added, after all this is a daily driver and the better half is only 5'6". I have seen the set that double as rock sliders they are about $500 more than AMP. AMP makes a great product and a wide step. Choices....
Will have to do something about the tire carrier... Smittybilt will handle that with their new GenII frame mounted carrier.
Comms... Looks like many are running CB radios. Have looked at GMRS units... Not much sense going with GMRS if no one is using them.
So as I figure out how to post pictures I will start posting documenting the build process.
:cheers
