I know this isn't a Ram, but its still part of the Dodge (Jeep) Family

Its the 2013 10th Anniversary Jeep Unlimited Rubicon, in the limited edition Anvil on Red interior.
Only 100 to be made in Canada and received on May 9th

Ill snap more pics as this progresses...as there is a long list of mods that's going to happen to it
Stay tuned

Oh, the truck will not be neglected as well...LOL

Hard top removed (neglected ram in the back ground)
That soft top was a real PITA to install. It was tight as heck...

It would be nice if Jeep would change the offset and make them 8.5"-9" wide from the factory! The new Rubi wheels are ok and different, but there are tons to choose from in the aftermarket.

With that new color, some 37's or 40's mounted on gunmetal 20x10" or 12"s would look nice :gr_grin:

37's or 40's look great on the JKUs. But, then you get into needing axle reinforcement, alloy shafts, etc. Unless it's going to be a mall crawler, then it's not really necessary.

Thought about 37's and 40's but this will be a daily driver and I'm not looking for 2 vehicles that aren't so aerodynamic restrictive :crazy:

Lol, yeah a Wrangler is a box on wheels. The new 3.6 and auto is a great combo. I was hitting 19mpg on 33s.

Did you get 4.10s and an auto? With that combo, 35s and a 2.5" lift with some flat fenders would be nice. Good for a DD as well. As mentioned, you go above a 35 and decide to wheel hard, axle strengthening is the ticket. Artec makes an awesome truss kit! :D

If you haven't pick a lift out, strongly consider Rock Krawler or Metal Cloak. Both outstanding companies and lift kits.

The unfortunate part... Here in Canada the anniversary edition was limited in custom build specs
I have the 3.73 and auto but will move to 35s and decide if 4.10s of 4.56 is the way to go.
But I was looking at rock krawler or Teraflex as the choice of 2.5" lift

I've always been tempted to get a Jeep. I think once some of the Pentastar's are coming into the used market I might get more serious about it.

I think they look great with 35s personally.
