FLTLNR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have an interesting proposal for a few people, figure this is a fast way to get feedback. If possible please try to list parts with part numbers. So here's the situation: 1) You have a 2013 Jeep Rubicon with 2000kms on it. 2) You have ~2100$ to use on parts. 3) The only requirement is that you invest in side steps/slider combo. 4) You have no intention to lift for quite some time. 5) You would like to increase mpgs (programmer?) What do you do? What dooooo you doooo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcC Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 CHROME!!! You can't go wrong with lots and lots of CHROME!!! :P Chrome is easy to clean and you don't buy a jeep for the fuel economy. Save it for fuel, for more wheeling practice.

autumnwalker Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 this isnt *cough*hummer*cough*mall*cough*crawler*cough* Well, I was going to reply with some useful suggestions, but now I think I'll take the "go f*** yourself" approach. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 You should ask Steele how much it costs to put the sliding doors back on your Caravan? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadtripper Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Oh yeah... I think you will have it lifted before the snow flies again. Anyone want to bet me a dollar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well simple, It ain't our money and ain't our vech. So opinions will differ. I personally wouldn't spend it to make it fuel efficient. because its a square box on wheels so how efficient can it get. I would save it for more runs, so you can get better with it. I have people ask me this ALL the time when it comes to competition shooting, They buy a pistol, then want to spend 2K making it better and on gear, But when it comes down to it, spend it on ammo, because if you cannot hit ****, then what a tricked out pistol gonna do.

4x4Mckay Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Screw increasing mpg. DEcrease and get some good beefy tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLTLNR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 lol hmm interesting ideas lol and the hummer dig wasnt directed at anyone in particular lol. like most jeeps they typically never see dirt other than perhaps the overspray from a truck lol. but yes, i would agree with the gun/ammo analogy.

Eastcoastcam Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Oh yeah... I think you will have it lifted before the snow flies again. Anyone want to bet me a dollar? You're on, but for $2 ... can't by a coffee with just a loonie ;) Fltlnr, you could invest in a winch [(Roadtripper) has one for sale] too and maybe a bumper (Scott can help you there too) to put it on too.

4x4Mckay Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 ^ that is your best idea. A winch makes worlds of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLTLNR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 i was thinking, since a hi tuck exhaust isnt really worth my time yet since im no crawler, i should move towards swapping out my mopar rails with smittybilt ones that have a step (wife insists on a step) and a stubby bumber that uses the oem fogs /w winch. and in turn i may inquire about roadtripper one.

littlered Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 CHROME!!! You can't go wrong with lots and lots of CHROME!!! :P Chrome dont getcha HOME........ewwwwwwwww..........id say tires ....just my two cents ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLTLNR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Chrome dont getcha HOME........ewwwwwwwww..........id say tires ....just my two cents ... tires arent a major concern as the jeep is new. when the rubber burns off the wheel choice will drive the lift choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 tires arent a major concern as the jeep is new. when the rubber burns off the wheel choice will drive the lift choice Wise words. The tires that came on your Jeep will serve you well. I would definately not spend the money in this area at this time. You HAVE MTs, not P-rated car tires so you are good in that area.

FLTLNR Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 im guessing "D" rings on front bumper are moot if winch is onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 im guessing "D" rings on front bumper are moot if winch is onboard? Nope, the D-rings will be your front tow points. Just because there is a winch on the front, doesn't mean you don't need tow points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
