MzPriss 190 Posted February 7 Last fall Rita took a little nap on the way home. I was uninjured, but Rita unfortunately didn't make it. So, last week I did a thing and bought Jack. She's a 2017 Rubicon Hardrock. She was 100% stock and 100% a pavement princess when I drove her off the lot. We salvaged everything we could from Rita, including the 35s. Those went on Jack this weekend. They rub in the front when offroad, but on the pavement they are fine. I've ordered the 3.5 Metal Cloak lift for her. It arrives shortly. I believe I've finally decided on the Fox 2.0 shocks....but haven't pulled the trigger. I'm not usually this indecisive. Here is Jack before with her stock shoes and after with Rita's 35s. And, I've had a lot of questions about Jack's name. She named herself on day one. As we drove to get her all I could think of was I was going to need a drink after the dealership hassle....and on the day Rita tipped over I had just purchased a brand new big bottle of Jack that survived the calamity and soothed my injured pride that night, and so she was named before I even drove her home. Looking forward to having her lifted so I can get some more off-road time. I've certainly missed some ORP trips and the dirt therapy. (Extra hands on wrenching days welcome. 🙂 ) 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4x4tographer 2,711 Posted February 7 So sorry to hear about Rita - but happy you ended up with Jack! Sounds like you have some big plans in the works! Looking forward to seeing you guys on the trails sometime soon. For what it's worth, I have the Fox 2.0's and I've been happy with them for the last 1-2 years. You're gonna be outflexing all of us with the game changer lift you bought 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellback91 1,732 Posted February 8 (edited) Sorry about Rita an congrats are in order for sure, can't wait to see Jack get built up! I have the Fox 2.0's too and I like them, no complaints on those over the last couple of years. Now the PITA front passenger side JK install area that Jeep decided was a good idea is a whole other story. 🤣 Edited February 8 by shellback91 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacey and Scott 1,167 Posted February 8 (edited) Outstanding! Let the build begin...again. We've being running on the 2.0's for a couple of years also, love em. 😉 Edited February 8 by Stacey and Scott 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
