Thank you, yes we do custom builds, actually about half or more of our builds are built-from-scratch straight to the customer's wants and needs. Feel free to contact Marcos at 262-723-3900 for more info.
Didn’t read all the comments so don’t know if this is clear. The rubicon used to come standard with 4:10 gears with the auto trans but is now an option. Probably because of the gas mileage is bad with the 4:10’s and a lot of jeeps don’t ever go off road and don’t need the low gears...
spare reinforcements are not necessary. Im on my second lifted JK with a spare 35. The last one (2008) turned over 200,000kms on the odometer when I sold it with zero issues with the gate. My current '14 has about 70,000 again with no issues. Dont waste your money.
Great Package and thanks for sharing. Video could be shorter as some comments are repeated and drag the video out longer then it could be. Looks like the type set-up that I would be interested in. It really needs wider flairs to limit paint damage from ice, snow, sand, mud and water spray. I would a run hardtop for all weather conditions and would do without the addition of a soft top which takes up room in the interior and customer does not seem to have a choice on deleting the soft top on many packages. I'd prefer to opt for something else that I would find more useful.
Jeep looks great. Nice work. You mentioned reinforced spare tire carrier for the larger tire...please look at reinforcing the hinges too for swing away back door. It doesn't take much for the back door to start squeaking (only gets louder over time) due to the weight of the bigger tire.
fun fact; the Rubicon was named after the Rubicon trail I'm not a bug fan at the wrangler unlimited ( which are the 4 doors) but I do love the wrangler (which are the 2 doors )
I have a 2016 JK Sahara Unlimited with 3.21 gears, wanted to put 35's on it with the low center of gravity package like in the video, I noticed all the builds you guys have done are with Rubicons. Would this build work on my jeep or would I have to re-gear eventually? I've heard mixed reviews and was wondering what you would recommend.
I would say it's more for the clean look than visibility. Unless a customer specifically wants no spare, we always do our builds with a 5th matching wheel and tire, and a heavy duty spare tire carrier if needed.
I really love the wheel but looked all over the place could not find them. I even tried the Method website and no luck. Can you link me to the wheels you used.
Its really cool how y'all figured out how to do this LCG build. One thing I wonder about these is if it's worth it since you don't gain that significant extra ground clearance like with the traditional ones.
Thank you. We envision this setup to be popular for people who daily drive their Wrangler and don't necessarily want to affect the ride quality. You're correct about the ground clearance but then again, you're no worse off than it being stock. Plus let's face it the 35's look awesome :)
Most often when going out on trails what hangs a vehicle up is not the body dragging the ground it's the axles, and you can put all the lift in the world on a jeep and not gain diff clearance, that is only done with tires. Tires are more than half the battle when off roading, bigger tires equal better flotation and more traction. For each inch you go up in tire size you gain one half inch total ground clearance for axles and body. AEV produced their "highline body kit" for TJs that allowed running 35" tires on a stock suspension some other manufactures also followed suit.
Jerod Powell I'm running 35's on my rubi with no lift. Fine for daily driving but it won't handle any "Jeep Trail". If you're on a flat road you can get away with it but at that point just get a truck. This build is for a mall crawler.
Not necessarily. Depends on which axles (new/used, no-names or Dynatrac), which V8, will you need new/different lockers, new gears...I know this: You absolutely CANNOT buy a Sport and put all the stuff on it that comes on the Rubicon for the same money. It's been tried and failed 100%. However, if you yourself are mechanically sound, use used axles and can do an engine swap yourself, you can do those things and come in under price. Just can't add ALL the things that come on a Rubi. God bless you if you can (wish I could).
It's really all cosmetic, you just need the right offset and backspacing on the wheels, the flat fenders, and front bumper. Also, the factory rock rails are too long unless you want to try trimming them, otherwise there are aftermarket ones that are a little shorter.
This isn't a low center of gravity setup, it's a no suspension travel setup. Another JK turned into a mall crawler that will never see trails, damn shame.
Off-roading And Rock Crawling are 2 different things! I have the 17 Rubicon Recon and have plenty of travel in the Colorado Rockies! With no lift 35 set up
You'd be looking at a 1-2mpg difference at most for fuel economy, maybe not even noticeable depending on your driving habits. Same for power, possibly a little less pickup, but drive this next to a stock Wrangler and you probably won't notice any difference.
Aluminum bumper.. With a stinger.... Which is designed to be slid on the ground to keep it from digging in.. From my experience that means these upgrades are purely cosmetic and to keep grocery carts away.. Way to go making non functional pieces
Also keep in mind that the Rubicon with an automatic comes standard with 3.73, like this one you can order them upgraded to the 4.10's for $695. The manual transmission comes standard with the 4.10s.
A jeep for people that think BIG tires can't be big enough. However without a lift, the lowered bump-stops (to prevent rubbing) will limit suspension travel enough to hamper off-road driving on trails that a stock Rubicon would transverse easily. What IS the point of this build - If it looks cool, someone will buy it anyway?
Most Wrangler buyers aren't going to be doing extreme off-roading. There is nothing stopping you from taking this on any moderate trail. With this build Wrangler, people who buy them for a daily driver get: 1.) the look everyone wants 2.) ride quality that is close to stock for daily driving 3.) you still get the warranty 4.) You save a good chunk of $$ on the build without installing a lift kit. Hardcore off-roaders might look at this build and say it's not for them but let's face it, that's a small percentage of customers who buy a Wrangler.
Perhaps on the moderate trails in the mid-west, however in California most of our "moderate" trails are covered with rocks and suspension travel is as important as ground clearance. Riding on the bump-stops will wear out a jeep quickly; assuming you lowered them to prevent the large tires from rubbing. A lot of people come to Death Valley with a compromised SUV and leave unhappily. Many are simply never driven off road - and that's a good thing! You are a builder meeting market demand - which is all you can do. However, a good builder should let the customer know both the advantages and disadvantages of any build. No one knows where this jeep will travel in it's lifetime. 1) perhaps, but a hard core jeep driver will laugh! 2) yes, - on the street - and the big tires will soak up little bumps 3) that's good for the driver 4) yes
It’s funny to listen to someone who apparently doesn’t know much about Jeeps expect what he read or someone told him! He probably has a mall crawler because the tires are to noisy! “Because I like the texture “!
+JOSE CUERVO No two builds have been the same but feel free to email Marcos at Marcos.Perez@kunescountry.com and he can get you a set price depending on what you want.
You must have missed our ***Disclaimer: Our videos are not meant as an off-road test. All the Jeeps and trucks in our videos are brand new and must be sold as such without risking damage from extreme off-roading. Please note that most dealerships never even take their vehicles off pavement. Thanks for watching!
Nice keep decent vid. BUT! Day 1 public speaking: voice goes DOWN at end of sentence; not up!! Really wanted to watch this but literally got irritated just listening. Otherwise good. Not being picky. Honestly. That comment is not overly critical. It's truly taught in public speaking and even actors...an audience becomes gripy when listening to a voice inflection that goes up at every sentence. It feels like a 15minute single sentence. Do you and your company a solid. Work on that bro
Just like there are people who stick to the previous generation TJ as the last "real jeep", we're guessing there will still be people who prefer the JK for one reason or another over the upcoming 2018. Time will tell.
Kunes Country Video I mean, it's still capable because it's a Rubicon, but something like "How to fit 35s the cheap way that won't improve the ride or performance on or off road"
I think your description hits the nail on the head entirely. The entire point of this build is what you described. Of course it's not going to improve the ride or performance, it's the stock suspension.
No rub, just took figuring out the right wheel specs and using the custom flares and front bumper. We're loving this package and expect it to be a popular one.
Rubicons with an automatic come standard with 3.73, upgrading to 4.10's is $695. A Rubicon with a manual comes standard with 4.10's. Use the build your own Jeep tool on jeep.com for confirmation.
That’s only true in manual transmission models. I have the same jeep in silver and I had to re-gear to 4.88 which probably wouldn’t have been necessary if I had the 4.10s but with a 3.5” lift and 35s its the only way to go.
The 2017 Jeeps, do to the upcoming release of the 2018's......are projected to loose more value and do so faster, than a piece of exercise equipment in Rosie O'Donnell's living room.
Ask me why this is one of the dumbest fake looking JKU's you can build. Mall crawler at best, horrible tire size without a lift offroad at worst. This and JKU's like it are the equivalent of putting fake "vents" on the hood or front fender of ANY vehicle for "heat dissipation".
i don't see why this would be so horrid as long as the tires can still flex, and supposedly they can. if they could, then how would this be a mall crawler?
Ultimately, these low Center of gravity builds do not work. Try driving 65 mph on freeway, and hit a divet. You’re rear pinch seam will dig into your rear tire. Don’t even talk about taking it off-roading. You’ll be stuffing tires into wheel wells. The stock springs and shocks are too soft for 35” tires.
Nice jeep. Quality work. Do you guys do custom builds?
Thank you, yes we do custom builds, actually about half or more of our builds are built-from-scratch straight to the customer's wants and needs. Feel free to contact Marcos at 262-723-3900 for more info.
MR309 Grid 18x9 5x5 -12/4.5 you gave the backspacing in your other video besides its the only 18 they carry for the JK
Didn’t read all the comments so don’t know if this is clear. The rubicon used to come standard with 4:10 gears with the auto trans but is now an option. Probably because of the gas mileage is bad with the 4:10’s and a lot of jeeps don’t ever go off road and don’t need the low gears...
Just got my first 17' Sahara this weekend for Mother's Day thanks to my hubs... and I'm loving it!!
Awesome, congrats!
Me too!!! Well from my self! Lol congrats on yours
hope it was bought out not financed

I really like this build, I'd like to have 35" tires but don't want it to be lifted to the moon. Nice to know it can be done!
Great Package and thanks for sharing. Video could be shorter as some comments are repeated and drag the video out longer then it could be. Looks like the type set-up that I would be interested in.

why does everything you say sound like a question?
he's a salesman that doesn't know the tire back spacing or offset.
I had top stop watching. That inflection at the end of every sentence is like nails on a chalk board.
When it comes to bumpers and body protection...go steel!
I have a 2.5 inch lift with 33 inch tires...better articulation. Thinking about changing to 35 inch, but may need to regear
no need until you get into 37
2018 coming hopefully a new diesel motor too!
Jeep looks great. Nice work. You mentioned reinforced spare tire carrier for the larger tire...please look at reinforcing the hinges too for swing away back door. It doesn't take much for the back door to start squeaking (only gets louder over time) due to the weight of the bigger tire.
agreed w the stubby look. just found a warn stubby front bumper simple set up for a winch this one looks good w the bar for lights.
Did you have to use wheel spacers. On stock with two lift stubby bumper front and rear with stock wheels.
Mall crawler
A lot of people are gonna ask about the offset and backspacing... but it if you wanna find out. Wow, thanks.
+Evan Hughes Feel free to email Marcos Marcos.Perez@Kunes.com for more info
I know, really?
fun fact; the Rubicon was named after the Rubicon trail
I'm not a bug fan at the wrangler unlimited ( which are the 4 doors) but I do love the wrangler (which are the 2 doors )
The powder coat finish is referred to as "wrinkle" finish.
Looks like bed liner spray on to me
Factory bumper doesn’t need changed! Only thing you need to run 35s is remove stock Fenders!
I have a 2016 JK Sahara Unlimited with 3.21 gears, wanted to put 35's on it with the low center of gravity package like in the video, I noticed all the builds you guys have done are with Rubicons. Would this build work on my jeep or would I have to re-gear eventually? I've heard mixed reviews and was wondering what you would recommend.
We'd recommend going to at least the 3.73 gears when moving to 35's for long-term reliability.
Just want to know, do people remove the spare tire option on their jeeps because the difficulty it adds in visibility while being in reverse?
I would say it's more for the clean look than visibility. Unless a customer specifically wants no spare, we always do our builds with a 5th matching wheel and tire, and a heavy duty spare tire carrier if needed.
I really love the wheel but looked all over the place could not find them. I even tried the Method website and no luck. Can you link me to the wheels you used.

Anyone have any idea of the jk stock height? Bought my 11 rubi already lifted and wanting to upgrade shocks but have zero idea on what lift I have
Will they fit a sport unlimited?
can I fit 35s on a stock unlimited sport with no rubbing?
You could fit them but you'd want to upgrade the gearing
It's legal with the tires beyond fenders?
Did you have to regear. For the 35s?
Nope.
"Low center of gravity build" you mean unable to do anything build? or, want big tires but don't wanna do it properly build?
do the tires rub when the swab bar is disconnected and at full articulation?
No rub at full flex!
how much for the 4 fender flares and internal protectors ? and where can i buy ?
Why would it have 3.73 gears? Rubicon stock gearing is 4.10.
Standard automatic is 3.73 with the option to upgrade to 4.10. The manual comes standard with 4.10.
Did y’all do any pinch weld cutting or bump stop extensions?
Those fenders are not DOT legal and you are selling it like that?
no place for plates gotta have it on in Texas!
Passenger dashboard or a fairlead mount.
3.73 gears in a Rubicon? Mine came with 4.10's
3.73 gears are standard on a Rubicon with an automatic trans, 4.10's are a $695 upgrade. 4.10's are standard on the Rubicon with a manual trans.
What a sweet rig
I mean why buy a Rubicon when you can buy a sport or just a base and put 1 tons and 40s under it with a v8 swap for the same price as a new rubi
Not necessarily. Depends on which axles (new/used, no-names or Dynatrac), which V8, will you need new/different lockers, new gears...I know this: You absolutely CANNOT buy a Sport and put all the stuff on it that comes on the Rubicon for the same money. It's been tried and failed 100%. However, if you yourself are mechanically sound, use used axles and can do an engine swap yourself, you can do those things and come in under price. Just can't add ALL the things that come on a Rubi. God bless you if you can (wish I could).
Did the build require back bump stop extensions?
+Paul Browning No everything with the suspension is 100% stock.
Nice. I want to do that on my new-to-me 2016 Rubi JKU
It's really all cosmetic, you just need the right offset and backspacing on the wheels, the flat fenders, and front bumper. Also, the factory rock rails are too long unless you want to try trimming them, otherwise there are aftermarket ones that are a little shorter.
can you get 35 tires on a unlimited sport without changing the gearing?
I would not recommend it with the stock 3.23 gears.
Kunes Country Video what would be recommended?
at least the 3.73
Can I put this same 35 in my rubicon manual with out rehearing ?
You'll be totally fine.
ALBERTO APAZA... have u already put on the 35 on yo jeep? I also have Rubicon manual.
This isn't a low center of gravity setup, it's a no suspension travel setup. Another JK turned into a mall crawler that will never see trails, damn shame.
There's still plenty of travel with no rubbing. Will it be as good off-road as a lifted Wrangler? Of course not, but that's not the point.
you'll rub as soon as you take it off road and disconnect those sway bars
Off-roading And Rock Crawling are 2 different things! I have the 17 Rubicon Recon and have plenty of travel in the Colorado Rockies! With no lift 35 set up
Where do i get those fenders
Does it kill the mpg and power?
You'd be looking at a 1-2mpg difference at most for fuel economy, maybe not even noticeable depending on your driving habits. Same for power, possibly a little less pickup, but drive this next to a stock Wrangler and you probably won't notice any difference.
What Headlights are you running on this Jeep?
They're stock LED headlights Jeep introduced with the 2017 model. They're standard on Rubicons.
Stephen Mart those are stock 2017 lights.
Aluminum bumper.. With a stinger.... Which is designed to be slid on the ground to keep it from digging in.. From my experience that means these upgrades are purely cosmetic and to keep grocery carts away.. Way to go making non functional pieces
I feel like the extra tire size is kind of useless without some extra ground clearance. needs atleast an inch or two IMO
Careful. Once you go larger than 33" tires the gear ratio should be updated accordingly.
Also keep in mind that the Rubicon with an automatic comes standard with 3.73, like this one you can order them upgraded to the 4.10's for $695. The manual transmission comes standard with the 4.10s.
Miguel Jauregui Rubicon comes with 4.10 gears
how much is the price for this car ? thank you
Rudy Smith wrong. New Rubicon auto is standard 3.73, 4.10 standard only with manual.
Wrong, 4.10 is standard on Rubicon Auto. 3.73 is standard on the Sport auto.

Whats the payload for that jeep.
I thought the 2017 had a heat extractor hood?
Boosted C7 Z06 Only the Hard Rock edition offers that.
Recon does
@@absgarage8724 My 16 Rubi has it. I'm pretty sure it's an option. The hard rock has it because they have all the options standard.
@@KJsProjects Interesting, I always thought that only hard rock editions had them or aftermarket.
>Talks about saving weight
>Puts heavier fender flares on the Jeep.
Logic.
You cannot do this build without using this style flare, and yes you will save weight by using aluminum vs. steel.
you can shave the factory flares... Boom, less weight and the clearance that you seek.
The front bumper isn't street legal and the gear ratio needs to be changed with that big of tire.
That front bumper looks weird
Whats with the secrecy about the pricing???
+JOSE CUERVO No two builds have been the same but feel free to email Marcos at Marcos.Perez@kunescountry.com and he can get you a set price depending on what you want.
seeing the tires in the front is nice
... the rubicon has 3.73 gears???
The automatics do, I think...
Yes the automatic comes standard with the 3.73, the manual 4.10.
4.10's with the automatic is a $695 upgrade
3 mins only for the bumper is too much
what kind of rims are those?
Here's a link: www.methodracewheels.com/collections/street-wheels/products/grid-titanium-w-matte-black-lip

Not on this setup, but with a similar wheel/tire configuration, we've fit 37's on a 2 inch lift. Video here: ruclips.net/video/3ZJTNl7lMQk/видео.html

I didn't know the 2017 was out already 🤔
They indeed are!

Ahh sucha shame.
And ironically there is a strip mall located about 1/4 mile from where we film this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
These things are getting so expensive….I’m probably looking at a $35,000+ vehicle in this video.

who wants a 2017 when the 2018 are coming out this fall
Just like there are people who stick to the previous generation TJ as the last "real jeep", we're guessing there will still be people who prefer the JK for one reason or another over the upcoming 2018. Time will tell.
Do you know what will be different as compared to the existing JK?
Peter Trenkenschuh a ton. Windshield leans back, grill leans back, etc. it will look very different.
Kunes Country Video id wait for sure. Diesel engine. Pfft. Jk can't touch that option.
Yeah, but buying a first year vehicle is never a good idea. ESPECIALLY a FCA vehicle. They'll need a few model years to work the bugs out.
Have fun at the mall with it
How can you call this a "build" when you really only put bumpers, fenders, and wheels and tires on it. Pretty basic stuff.
What else would we call it? :)
Kunes Country Video I mean, it's still capable because it's a Rubicon, but something like "How to fit 35s the cheap way that won't improve the ride or performance on or off road"
That would not fit in the thumbnail at all, and there are limits on how long a description can be :P
I think your description hits the nail on the head entirely. The entire point of this build is what you described. Of course it's not going to improve the ride or performance, it's the stock suspension.
@mentzy Yeah, what else would you call it, Einstein.
A.k.a. the too-cheap-to-buy-a-lift look
nope, some guys like the lateral stability of low center.
Having salesmen take the Jeep off road gets me a lil sketch
The tires don't rub on that LCG setup?
No rub, just took figuring out the right wheel specs and using the custom flares and front bumper. We're loving this package and expect it to be a popular one.
Kunes Country Video is the bump stop adjusted higher to prevent full flex with the sway bar disconnected?
a Rubicon is 410 gear not 373
Rubicons with an automatic come standard with 3.73, upgrading to 4.10's is $695. A Rubicon with a manual comes standard with 4.10's. Use the build your own Jeep tool on jeep.com for confirmation.
I think all Rubicon automatic trans. Come with 3.73 my 2018 did
2019 jeep wrangler unlimited interior decoration
The Rubicon has 4.10 gears. Lol
That’s only true in manual transmission models. I have the same jeep in silver and I had to re-gear to 4.88 which probably wouldn’t have been necessary if I had the 4.10s but with a 3.5” lift and 35s its the only way to go.
The 2017 Jeeps, do to the upcoming release of the 2018's......are projected to loose more value and do so faster, than a piece of exercise equipment in Rosie O'Donnell's living room.
Now take it out and crawl some rocks or another tough trail.
And.... you’ll be stuffing the tires.
Dude repeats himself soooo much. Talked way too much about each section. Video could’ve been half as long
Ask me why this is one of the dumbest fake looking JKU's you can build. Mall crawler at best, horrible tire size without a lift offroad at worst. This and JKU's like it are the equivalent of putting fake "vents" on the hood or front fender of ANY vehicle for "heat dissipation".
i don't see why this would be so horrid as long as the tires can still flex, and supposedly they can. if they could, then how would this be a mall crawler?
Why is he so uneducated about a vehicle he is selling
Please enlighten us...
Pointless
Ultimately, these low Center of gravity builds do not work. Try driving 65 mph on freeway, and hit a divet. You’re rear pinch seam will dig into your rear tire. Don’t even talk about taking it off-roading. You’ll be stuffing tires into wheel wells. The stock springs and shocks are too soft for 35” tires.
Cut rear pinch seams and use bumpstops
Then it's like the H1 Humvee, right?
What’s the part number for the flares? First or 2nd generation?
