Storm Jeeps - STORM-4, 2011 Jeep Wrangler 4 Door 2.8 CRD

Off road overland capability with everyday practicality, this Storm Jeep JK uses the industry’s best products for off road durability and badass looks!

Suspension

This Storm Jeep uses an Old Man Emu 4” suspension lift kit by ARB has undergone countless hours of engineering and testing.

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 optimized for maximum down travel while retaining factory drive shafts, brake lines and shock mounts. The Nitrocharger Sport Shock are the most advanced and innovative 4×4 shock absorber on the market. Designed by a dedicated team of OME engineers through an exhaustive vehicle specific development program, Nitrocharger Sport 4×4 shock absorbers deliver the best control, durability and most comfortable ride over all terrain.

To center and fine tune the location of the front axle, Old Man Emu has developed an adjustable forged track bar as a replacement to the original. A Hi grade 4140 forged steel adjustable track bar was chosen for it’s superior strength, durability and freedom to optimize design.

A rear Track Bar relocation bracket was developed to address the positioning of the rear track bar. This relocation bracket not only centers the axle but also raises the rear roll center to provide positive rear stability. Old Man Emu engineers have used Design Solid Modelling and FEA to ensure strength and durability.
A bump stop spacer kit is used to ensure a larger diameter tire is kept off the body work and optimizes shock extended and compressed lengths to allow maximum compression and rebound travel.

New longer front and rear sway bar links have been developed to correct sway bar alignment due to increased lift. The rear link is the factory style with two ball joints. The front link has an upper ball joint and the lower has a disconnect function using a greasable pin.

The steering damper has been specifically tuned for the Jeep JK to address front end wobbles initiated by anything from worn ball joints to out of balance large diameter tires.

Brake line relocation brackets have been developed to reroute factory brake lines to work with this kits’ extended shock lengths. A handbrake relocation bracket lowers the brake line mounting position to relieve stress on brake lines resulting from the higher ride height.

Wheels and Tyres

18×9” XHD wheels are Rugged Ridges toughest new design in custom wheels. This Hub-Centric design exactly centers the wheel over the hub providing the best fit possible and the proper clearance for brake rotors, steering components and suspension. Better fit, no wheel vibration! Stainless steel button-head socket cap screws around the perimeter of the outer wheel face give a great 3-piece look, and also let you accessorize with our optional trim ring. Each wheel includes a UV-treated polished center cap that replicates a manual hub for that off road look. The durable powdercoated finish gives an ultra-hard finish for long life and a great look. Rugged Ridge wheels have been independently tested and certified to meet/exceed SAE J2530 standards for wheel strength and durability. Bolted to the outside of the rim is the Rugged Ridge rim protector and protect the wheel lip and tyre bead from off road abuse.
The wheels are fitted with huge 35×12.5” Cooper Discoverer STT tyre, featuring a computer designed, non-directional tread employs features such as deep buttress lugs, notched and scalloped shoulder lugs, and a unique centre traction zone for tough off-road driving. The tyre’s heavy duty carcass is constructed of two radial polyester body plies and one angled polyester body ply to deliver 3 plies of protection against impact breaks and bruising.
An AEV procal module has been used to re-calibrate the speedo and gearbox with the oversize tyres.

Bumpers

The matching front and rear ARB bumpers mean business in the off road world. The front winch bumper is an all-new design from ARB and provides frontal protection and a winch mounting platform, whilst retaining the visual appeal of the 7-slot grill of the JK.
Both bumpers incorporated recovery points, Hi-Lift lifting points. For improved corrosion resistance the bumpers pre-treated with a zinc shield before being coated in Integrit™ textured powder coat, which is uniquely formulated to replicate the appearance of automotive grade black plastic, on steel or alloy fabricated products. It is designed for maximum aesthetic appeal with an ultra-low sheen, matte finish.
The tyre carrier can take the weight of the massive wheel and tyre without rattling noises or vibration. This carrier is one of the toughest on the market. Attached to the tailgate via a tailgate support plate allows you to open the carrier and tailgate at the same time.

Freedom Panels can be quickly and easily removed with rack in place. The cargo weight is evenly distributed across the roll bars and body of the jeep, placing zero weight on the fragile hard top.

Safari Snorkel

The Safari Snorkel protects the engine from the hazards of dust and water commonly encountered in touring and off road driving. The snorkel relocated the air intake point from the relatively low and vulnerable position under the bonnet to a higher and safer location where a constant source of cool, clean and dry air is available, protecting the engine from costly damage.
Manufactured in Australia from premium quality polyethylene, the Safari snorkel is UV stable and incredibly resilient to withstand harsh environments.
