2011 Jeep Jk Wrangler Rubicon Interior - Photo 57284683

Back to Article

The 2011 interior features more rounded, flowing shapes as you peruse the controls and grab handles. Interior and electronic luxuries are not what makes a Jeep a Jeep, but they broaden the JK’s appeal and make it even more of an all-purpose vehicle. Electronic and audio system upgrades came onboard at the same time.

Bushwacker flat-style fender flares add extra tire coverage. They can be painted if a flex additive is included in the paint mix, but we think they look great as molded in black.

Poison Spyder protects the front and sides with a Brawler front bumper and a pair of Brawler rock sliders. There’s a Warn 9500 PowerPlant nestled inside the Brawler bumper, along with a pair of Rigid Industries Dually LED spot lights. Daystar’s urethane D-ring inserts mitigate clanging and clattering as the D-rings move in their mounts. 4West The Four-Wheel Drive Store in Colton, California, is Riker’s go-to source for high-quality parts and competent installations.

The factory front and rear CV-style driveshafts were swapped out for more conventional hardware that uses 1310-series U-joints. The stock suspension is good, but a Teraflex 4-inch system is better. Adjustable Teraflex upper and lower control arms have replaced the OEM items and offer increased strength. ACOS adjustable coil spacers allow the Jeep’s height to be dialed in and feature an integrated bumpstop. The shocks are basic, proven Rancho 9000-series units. A Poison Spyder skidplate protects the vulnerable factory charcoal canister.

The factory front axle benefits from a Poison Spyder diff cover and Rancho control arm bracket skidplates. Fox’s steering damper works well and runs cool thanks to its heat-shedding aluminum body. It mounts out of harm’s way thanks to a Synergy Suspension relocation kit. Teraflex Monster track bars are used front and rear. The Monsters look factory (and can be used on stock-height rigs) but are much stronger.

Thirty-five-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2’s have plenty of floatation since they’re mounted on 15-inch Pro Comp 8179 wheels fitted with desert reinforcing rings.

Steering knuckle weakness in the JK front axle is well-documented, so Lisa had a set of gussets welded in place before anything could go wrong. Dynatrac’s Pro-Steer ball joints further the bulletproofing campaign. A set of JKS sway bar disconnects make it easy to engage or disengage the sway bar as needed.

Tablet computers are easily adaptable for GPS use. A Joy Factory carbon-fiber mount makes it convenient to put a tablet right where you want it. Cobra’s 75 WX ST all-in-handset CB radio is simple to mount and easy to disconnect and stash when you don’t need it.

Suspension flex? Check. A Rugged Ridge mirror relocation kit allows you to move the mirrors from the doors to the vehicle body. You can ditch your doors without ditching your mirrors.

A Garvin Wilderness rear bumper is a smart bolt-on upgrade and gives the fullsize spare, two fuel cans, and a Hi-Lift jack a place to call home. There’s also a Hella rearward-facing light mounted to the tire carrier along with a 4-foot Firestik II CB antenna.

The Chrysler 3.8L V-6 is a slowpoke, but it gets a little help from a Banks Ram-Air intake. There’s an Optima yellow-top deep-cycle battery peeking in from the photo’s left margin.

Smittybilt’s rear door cargo bag keeps trail essentials all in one place. Pink Hello Kitty duct tape is ready and waiting, just in case. It’s probably stronger than the standard-issue gray stuff.

Gloves, zip ties, and other essentials store easily in the rear cargo area. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class might not be suited for the dirt, but the Mercedes-Benz first-aid kit does just fine.
