STORM-27, 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4 Door 3.6L V6

The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon – a name synonymous with legendary off-road prowess and the ability to transverse the most inhospitable terrain. Here at Storm Jeeps, we have transformed the standard Rubicon to a bespoke one off as per our customers requirements. Finished in a unique textured brushed steel and carbon wrap, this vehicle offers an immense specification and several bespoke features not normally seen in the UK custom Jeep scene.

Exterior Enhancements

Getting into the Jeep shouldn’t feel like climbing Everest. That’s why we fitted the automatic, AMP research electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, and then hides itself safely out of sight when the doors close for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance. LED lighting also projects onto the running boards when deployed.

XHD Steel modular winch bumper system allows high clearance approach and departure angles with stubby ends to complement the flat fenders and open up the tyres. The front bumper accommodates a Terrafirma A12000 winch with synthetic rope.

The Smittybilt rear bumper incorporates a 2” receiver hitch and D-ring mounts. The swing away tyre carrier integral to the bumper is essential for mounting the heavy huge spare wheel on this Jeep. A twin exit Magnaflow stainless steel exhaust not only look the business at the rear of the Jeep but also has an enhanced muscular exhaust note.

The Aluminium Poison Spyder Crusher Flat fenders offer increased clearance for the huge 37” diameter tyres and extra width to provide coverage for the deep dish offset wheels. These extra wide flares measure 2” wider than the standard flares and help comply with tyre coverage laws while keeping more dirt and mud from being flung up on to the side of the Jeep by wider wheels and tyres. The Jeep JK’s factory fenders and stock plastic flares are among the most vulnerable body components when traversing the trail. Poison Spyder JK flares improve both the aesthetics and durability of the Jeep during off road adventures as it features an inner brace system increasing toughness to withstand punishing scrapes with granite canyon walls.

LED headlights offer enhanced beam patterns for superior performance over the standard halogen units and feature a powerful LED halo as a day time run light.

Black Rhino 20×12” Armoury wheels offer one of the most unique wheel styles on the market and make a dramatic statement of power that looks like they are straight from a battle zone. Mounted to the wheels are huge 37×13.5” Roadcruza RA3200 tyres with unique tread pattern and sidewall designs that set them apart.

The exterior of the Jeep has been wrapped in textured brushed steel and carbon wrap by 3M for a truly custom appearance you wont get from the factory.

Storm Jeeps Modified Suspension

Old Man Emu 4” suspension lift kit by ARB has undergone countless hours of engineering and testing and considered one of the industries best.
4 inch lift is achieved by linear rate springs using X5K high grade steel tuned to provide compliant ride on road while maintaining off road performance.

Both front and rear Nitrocharger Sport shocks have vehicle specific valving tuned for optimal blend of ride control and comfort. Shock lengths have been optimised for maximum down travel while retaining factory drive shafts.

In addition to the Old Man Emu Kit, advanced geometry control arm drop brackets have been used. These durable drop brackets help reset JK control arm angles to a more natural and comfortable geometry. By reducing the operating angle of the front control arms, the force applied to the arm when hitting a bump is now directed up into the springs instead of being absorbed into the frame. These drop brackets allow the JK with 4in of lift to operate more like stock, with a more appropriate geometry to increase force on the front wheels. More force means more traction in straight line braking and reduced weight shifting and inertia when braking during a curve.

Interior

Features custom leather trimmed Corbeau Sportline RRS front seats. The Sportline RRS from Corbeau is inspired by some of the most popular custom Sportline seats offered in Europe with a look and feel that is second to none. Unbelievable comfort, style, and support are put into every inch of this seat. It features top of the line injection molded foam, strategically placed bolsters to support you in just the right places.
The RRS has a seat base height of only 2.5 inches. Comparatively speaking this is a thin seat base, which is ideal for the Jeep Wrangler application aiding getting in and out of the Jeep in comparison to a high bolster design.

The split rear seat has been re-trimed by Corbeau in the same design and materials to the front for a perfect match to match.
