The Dana 44 rear axle is fitted with an ARB and 4.56 gears along with a Poison Spyder diff guard and Nth Degree Stinger torque arm. A Kilby fuel tank skidplate is well scarred in evidence of its worth, and Walker Evans shocks further damp the ride.
The stock NVG241OR Rock-Trac transfer case offers 4:1 Low gearing and is outfitted with a CV driveshaft from High Angle Driveline. Front and rear lockers also greatly aid traction. Occupant safety is provided by a bolt-in sport cage from Rock Hard 4x4 Parts.
Jon's Rubicon is equipped with an Nth Degree 6-inch long-arm suspension system which utilizes a Tummy Tucker skidplate with a Slider diff guard and Stinger torque arm that also replaces the rear upper control arms.
The front Dana 44 axle uses the factory Rubicon locker and sports a Crane diff cover. A Currectlync steering system from Currie Enterprises is also shown alongside the Currie AntiRock sway bar setup, Nth Degree suspension, and Walker Evans shocks.
Under the hood, the 4.0L engine is primarily stock. In keeping with his always-be-prepared attitude, however, Jon installed a Kilby OnBoard Air system.
Extra spark for operating Jon's collection of winches is provided by dual Optima batteries installed using a Kilby Enterprises dual battery tray.
