Storm Jeeps - STORM-32, 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon 4 Door 2.0L

The All-New 2018 Jeep® Wrangler stays true to its heritage, but has improved in many ways. It is authentic to the traditional Wrangler formula: iconic styling, round headlamps, seven-slot grille, flat fender flares, fold-down windshield and removable top and doors

Storm Jeeps Modified Suspension.

We have cleared room for huge 37” tyres with only a 2.5” suspension lift. This has been achieve by combining the EVO MFG 2.5” overland suspension lift with Mopar high top fenders which create an additional 2” clearance for the tyre within the fender flares. This lower lift height / high fender combination creates a lower center of gravity for both on-road comfort and off-road performance in comparison to larger suspension lifts.

The EVO MGF JL Overland Boost kit is specifically designed to lift the JL by 2.5“and maintain factory spring rate, compliance and ride quality as well as maintaining full wheel travel with use of shock extensions.

When lifting a Jeep the control arms ride height have a steeper angle towards the floor which can have some negative effect/chop in ride quality. The Overland Control Arm drop brackets fitted on this Jeep maintain factory flat control arm angle alleviating much of the chop associated with lifting a Jeep giving even better and more improved ride quality. Also in the use of Overland Drop Brackets we are able to engineer more performance into the front suspension to improve braking and driveline angles through suspension cycle.

Front Winch Bumper and Rear Bumper

Rugged Ridge Sparticus winch bumper has a tough satin black powder-coated finish made from a sturdy 11 gauge stamped steel construction. The stamping process allows for the most advanced styling on the market, creating a bumper lighter than most aftermarket steel bumpers.
A separate frame winch mount provides structural mounting for Warns flagship winch, the Warn Zeon 10-s Platinium. Advanced technology, this is the ultimate performance winch with a 10,000 lb. pulling capacity
The WARN ZEON 10 Platinum—the most technically advanced winch ever conceived. The manual clutch has been eliminated. An Advanced Wireless Remote controls not only the winch, but also the clutch and other accessories. Durability and waterproofing sets a new benchmark for its class. Add in a high-performance motor package, and you have a game changing winch allowing you to go places others only dream about.

The rear Smittybilt XRC bumper provides increased clearance and have angled corners for more aggressive approach angles in extreme conditions – perfect for this Jeep running larger tyres. Solid D-ring and jack point mounts are welded on the inside and out, and feature an integrated recovery point for easy access. The bumper also features integrated LED reverse lights.

Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD tyre carrier hinge casting provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting the spare oversized wheel and tyre. Functionally designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions. The precision die-cast aluminum Hinge Casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel. The one-piece design hinge casting is a complete replacement for the factory tailgate hinges, creating a structurally stable link between the tailgate and the body, resulting in smooth one-handed access to the rear cargo area. This, in combination with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, results in far superior load capacity than the factory tailgate hinges, thereby effectively reducing wear and increasing longevity.

Off Road Capability.

The Rubicon is equipped with the gear you need to take on the trails. Tru-Lok front and rear electronic locking differentials lock power and distribute it evenly between the wheels for ultimate traction during low-speed rock crawling. Pushing the dashboard-mounted sway bar button disconnects the sway bar and allows your front wheels to drop and compress, improving articulation. A heavy-duty 4:1 low-range transfer case delivers outstanding torque and low-speed control for impressive off-road performance. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is also equipped with front and rear Dana 44 axles. The axles are beefed up with thicker tubes and forgings for superior strength, rigidity and durability.

Storm Jeeps have also fitted a Mopar brand Snorkel allows direct cool air into the engine when driving through conditions that threaten normal air inlets.
