RubiTrux<\/a> built this 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon to conquer the off-road. Under the hood is a 448 ci Hemi V8 built by Petty’s Garage<\/a> producing 650 hp. Backing that is an 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission from a Trackhawk. A set of Tom Wood’s Spicer HD driveshafts transfers torque to Dana 60 front axle and Dana 80 rear axle. Both feature ARB locking differentials and 5.38 gears. RubiTrux prepared for rough terrain using a TeraFlex IR long-arm suspension and EVO Manufacturing Pro 14-inch coilover kit with King shocks. They also installed TeraFlex hydraulic bump stops, Steer Smarts XD track bars, Steer Smarts XD 1.5-ton tie rods and drag links, and Hellwig rear swaybar. A set of KMC Grenade beadlock wheels hold Nitto Trail Grappler 42×13.5-inch tires. On the body they installed Nemesis Industries Notorious fender flares, American Trail Products bumpers, Rock Slide Engineering power steps, and Artec Industries 1\/4-inch aluminum skid plate modified for a Hemi V8. <\/p>\n
