Hello,
Howard from Troutdale Oregon.
I own a 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 4 door. I have added a Front Bumper & Winch. I have also added several different Light sets and a Voswitch to control the electronics. I was not happy with the wiring done by a shop so I redid the wiring and put everything through the new Voswitch.
I was not happy with the position of the Factory switches.
My Goal is to have a Jeep Capable of completing the Rubicon Trail and taking several of the trails in Moab. I spoke to a local shop and he Suggested a 2.5 inch lift and 35 inch tires. I thing I will get the lift from Metal Cloak. Still trying to decide on what tire to run.
Most driving is on the street with Weekends and vacations on the dirt. Again looking for a Jeep capable of doing Level 6 to 7 trails.
That is it, If anyone has suggestions or comments feel free to share information with me.

Howard, nice to meet you, I really appreciate you jumping in here. Today is the first day of launching this community, so hopefully it will fill out nicely with like minded people. Sounds like you’re off into a great start with your jeep, and I love how you have vision for what you want to do with it. I firmly believe that’s a very important step when you’re first getting started. The Rubicon is obviously a great starting platform and a 2.5” lift and 35s is a great balance between performance and drive ability/reliability, and will definitely be enough to make it though the Rubicon, I personally don’t have experience with metal cloak, but in terms of tires are you thinking more of an all around tire or something more aggressive for off road? Few pros and cons either way, but let me know and I’ll put together some recommendations for you. Thanks again!
