2009 JK Built..then Rebuilt
Brad Johnson brought his new 2009 JK Rubicon into TeraFlex to get it outfitted and ready for the trails. To make sure he was prepared for whatever the great outdoors would throw at him, he made sure to equip his new ride with some intense additions.
The stock suspension was upgraded to a 4″ Elite LCG Long Arm system. Also added on was a Heavy Duty Steering Stabilizer for extra control. The front and rear differentials were upgraded to new 5.38 gears and matching TeraFlex Diff Covers.
For tires Brad had 37″ Goodyear Kevlars installed and mounted them onto Balistic Hostel wheels. He replaced the stock bumpers with a Front Rockguard bumper and rear JK Trail Series bumper with a tire carrier. Mounted up front was a Warn 9.5ti winch with a 3/8″ 100ft. synthetic winch rope and a custom made TeraFlex aluminum fairlead. All of these not only added to the saftey and control of the vehicle, they also made it look pretty sweet!
Equipped with all of these fun extras, Brad probably figured he was pretty much invincible…little did he know that he was in for quite a ride! Soon after having all this work done, Brad was riding on a trail and decided to stop a little too close to the edge of a cliff…to make a short story a little shorter, both Brad and the JK ended up sitting in the middle of a stream at the bottom of the cliff (luckily back on the wheels). As you can imagine the Jeep suffered a few ‘cosmetic’ injuries.
Thankfully, the Jeep was able to be repaired and Brad is still around to tell everyone the story. After the roll, the Jeep was upgraded with a custom color-matched roof to replace the stock black one, last we heard Brad was back on the road and feeling better than ever!
