I used to think 4 doors were so huge...after getting one when I look at 2 door Jeeps now I feel like I could fit them in my pocket. I still want one though!

Great looking ride - get familiar with it and have some fun!

Great choice, the good thing about the 2-door is they don't require the same level of modification as the 4 door (due to better break over angle and manouverability).

Furthermore, the Rubi really is a good choice because of the lockers, better front diff, reduced gearing and swaybar disconnect. (just remember to be as flat as possible when you try to reconnect your swaybar, back on the sealed road ideally).

Looks like it has a lift already? I can't see a 2 door needing more than a 2 inch lift. meaning you avoid a load of geometry correction work that is required when going to 3+ inches. You could probably run 315/70r17 tyres on that without any further work (thats about 34.5inch).

I see a bit of AEV kit on it already (rear bar and rims). AEV is really high quality stuff so that's great.

If you need more storage, I think front runner do a very strong full length rack for the 2 door.

Very nice find! Now to post some pics from your trips where you s@#t all over your mates when you walk over obstacles they struggle with in their Pootrols, Crapluxes and Navaras!!🤣😂🤣😂
Enjoy, and as said previously let the modding and subsequent wallet lightening begin, it's fun but can be an exxy addiction
