Title: New guy from Okotoks says hello.
Post by: Rerun on August 29, 2010, 09:13:01 PM
Just bought a 2010 Rubicon 2 weeks ago. So far I've replaced the factory rims and tires with Ultra Drifter rims and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires (285/70/17). Next on the list for the near future is replacing the stock headlights with IPF lights and mounting a set of Shrockworks rock sliders. I think I'll leave the stock Rubi rock rails on because I like the looks of them (even if they don't protect as well as the Shrockworks and they also cover up the pinch seam. I'll just get the Shrockworks sliders mounted 1.5" lower (shrockworks will build them so they work with the stock rock rails still in place)

Here's a pic of my Rubi so far....

Welcome to the addictio...er....hobby?

Yes, the JK stock headlights are poop. You can also get yourself a Hella H4 kit from Susquehanna motor sports that comes complete with a "plug and play" harness and set of relays for about $200, so you may want to shop around before dropping the coin on the IPF's. I don't know of anyone that has either the Hella H4's or Cibie H4's with an upgraded harness that is less than super-happy with them. That includes me  :)

Northridge sells the IPF's for $165 and that includes shipping.  ;)
