Read more on these below, but in a nutshell, the results are blinding. To help ensure we don’t fall off the trail at night and have to use that Warn winch to drag us out, we selected a pair of Rigid Industries high-performance LED lights: a 10-inch E2 Driving beam for the front bumper and a 50-inch SR-Series Combo lightbar for above the windshield. The 9.5cti-s packs all the regular punch of Warn’s regular 9.5cti (9,500-pound pulling capability, extreme sealing, thermometric temperature indicators, and more) but adds 100 feet of 3/8-inch synthetic rope and (in our opinion) the nicest aluminum hawse fairlead on the market. When it came to selecting a winch, we naturally went with Warn’s stellar 9.5cti-s thermometric winch.
As if ditching analog relays to squeeze two more circuits, the new sPod SE has the option of being controlled by a color touchscreen LCD display and can even sync to your smart phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to remotely operate your accessories. For starters, we were really excited to get our hands on one of the new sPod SE eight-circuit Mosfet systems.
It’s one thing to tart up a mall crawler with widgets and gizmos aplenty, but it’s quite another to carefully select top-quality components that are worth their weight in gold in the off-road environment. The Jeep now drove down the road like stock, with no creaks, groans, shimmys, wandering, or other ill-handling issues, but it had the flex, strength, clearance, and bite to go pretty much anywhere we wanted to take it. Then, we dragged it through the proverbial AEV garden, outfitting it with AEV’s properly engineered front and rear bumpers, Fuel Caddy, Rear Vision System, ProCal programmer, and mount for a Hi-Lift jack. So to recap the Anvil project, we took a completely stock 2014 JK Unlimited Wrangler Rubicon to our friends at Jeeps R Us in Laguna Niguel to have only the most durable, solid, and proven parts installed on it, beginning with a Rock Krawler 2.5 X-Factor Stage 1 mid-arm suspension kit and 35-inch Toyo Open Country MTs on AEV Pintler wheels. And when he showed up in our driveway and we saw the color was Anvil Grey, well, the project name was a slam dunk. We decided right there we’d spec out only the very best components in the industry for this one. What parts should I use?” Now, you never want to recommend stuff to your buddies that are sure to cause problems, require a ton of maintenance, or fail in the field. It all started with a phone call from a buddy: “Hey, I just bought a 2014 Wrangler Rubicon and wanna totally build it up.
