Skid Plates - Photo 60287963

Skid plates run the length of the under carriage, including a Rock Hard 4x4 fuel tank skid plate. Rebel Off Road made great use of space by adding a 20-gallon Long-Ranger fuel tank opposite the factory fuel tank on the driver’s side. J.E. Reel front and rear 1350 driveshafts are also installed.

Maurice Riquier of Marrakesh, Morocco, worked with Rebel Off Road in Laguna Hills, California, to have them build his 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited to his desired specs. The plan may have started with some basic upgrades, but it soon expanded to include nearly every part ever made for a JK.

Poison Spyder fenders provide plenty of space to flex the 40x13.50R17 Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain tires mounted on 17x8.5 Raceline Monster beadlocks. Poison Spyder Rock Brawler Sliders look great and keep rocks at bay. A Rigid Industries 20-inch E-Series LED light bar and two 10-inch E-Series LED bars are mounted to the Gobi roof rack.

The MBRP Stubby front winch bumper holds a Warn PowerPlant winch and dual HID Vision-X lights. A Rebel Off Road Recon Complete Coilover Conversion System makes way for the macho size 40x13.50R17 Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain tires mounted on 17x8.5 Raceline Monster beadlocks.

The Rebel Off Road coilover conversion kit is paired with a Teraflex JK long-arm system and equipped with King coilovers front and rear. All together the system provides incredible amounts of flex while maintaining a comfortable highway ride.

An AEV snorkel has this JK well prepared in the event of any deep water crossings and also draws cooler air to the engine. An AEV heat reduction hood is also installed, along with windshield frame mounted Vision-X Solstice Prime 6-inch LED lights and Vision-X headlamps.

Rebel Off Road installed a RIPP Mods Gen 2 Stage 2 centrifugal supercharger, which really helps the 3.6L V-6 turn the hefty 40-inch Toyos on the trail and highway. The Rebel Off Road crew also designed and built a custom dual battery tray fit with two Odyssey Performance Batteries. With all of the additional electrical accessories dual batteries were a must in order to keep the charging system alive. The 3.6L V-6 is also equipped with an AEV Procal Module.

A custom-width Currie Rock Jock Dana 60 axle is installed up front and was built to Rebel Off Road’s exacting specifications. The Rock Jock Dana 60 uses F450 knuckles and 1350 yokes and is equipped with 5.38 gears, 35-spline axle shafts, and an ARB Air Locker. A heavy-duty tie-rod with a PSC ram-assist cylinder is in place along with a forged, Teraflex adjustable track bar.

A RIPP Mods supercharger intercooler is installed in front of the radiator behind the grille.

A Rockhard 4x4 Ultimate Sports Cage was paint matched to the body and installed by Rebel Off Road, along with a Rock Hard 4x4 roll bar pad kit. ARB Air Locker, compressor switches, and light switches are mounted in the sPod switch panel. Also note the tach supercharger boost gauge in place on the driver’s A-pillar.

Dual sPod switch relay boxes are mounted under hood -- another must have to handle the extra electrical accessories. A compact ARB compressor is also mounted underhood and is plumbed to the front and rear ARB Air Lockers.

The interior of the JK is well appointed with accessories, including radios, switches, a screen for front and rear bumper-mounted cameras, a Daystar switch panel, and more. We also like how the Rebel Off Road crew relocated the factory switch panel from the center stack to the panel beneath the steering wheel and made use of space along the kick panel to fit an LED dual battery controller.

Weathertech Floormats are in place at the front and rear along with neoprene seat covers. Rebel Off Road roll bar grab handles await at each entry.

A customized AEV rear bumper and tire carrier holds a fullsize 40-inch spare, a Hi-Lift Jack, and a CB whip antenna. We like the placement of the 1.25-inch Rigid Industries LED lights on the Gobi rack, with one directly above the rear wheel and another to the right of the tail lamp.

The Rebel Off Road Recon Complete Coilover Conversion System is a bolt-on system that allows any Jeep Wrangler JK to run coilover shocks in place of the factory shock and coil spring arrangement. To fit the big 40-inch Toyos, the Rebel Off Road crew installed a set of 12-inch-stroke King 2.0 coilover shocks with reservoirs and King bumpstops.

The rear cargo area is filled with an Adventure Trailer JK Two Level Storage/Fridge combo that features a dual burner stove and refrigerator that pull out on a slide, an Adventure Trailer JK Stage 1 lock box, propane bottles, a Trailgator Bolt-In Tailgate Table, and an Extreme Outback Magnum Air Compressor.

A Teraflex long-arm suspension system is paired with the Recon Complete Coilover Conversion System.

These cool 1.25-inch LED lamps from Rigid Industries are well-placed for performing nighttime repairs or setting camp.

Cameras are mounted to the front and rear bumpers to monitor and film where the JK is going and where it has been.

There’s a lot to look at in this photo, starting with the Currie 40-spline Rock Jock rear axle and winding its way to the dual air horns mounted in front of the shock reservoirs. There’s also the rear Recon coilover system with King coilover shocks and bumpstops, Teraflex adjustable track bar, a GenRight heavy-duty rear sway bar, Rebel Off Road’s Restraint brake upgrade, and the custom routed exhaust to fit the Long Ranger fuel tank.
