Sold 2013 Jeep Rubicon 2146364325 Tweet

When youre ready to hit the trails in a Jeep, your best option is the Rubicon. Built for people prepared to explore, the Rubicon is equipped with plenty of off-roading capabilities, giving you the potential to go almost anywhere. The Rubicon is the king of the hill when it comes to Jeeps, but the one complaint always tossed around is that it is slow and underpowered. With Art & Speeds latest offering, you can forget about that notion as we introduce you to this two-door 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a Chevrolet LS3 conversion! You heard that right - this Rubicon packs a 430 horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 under the hood - gone is the anemic 285 horsepower 3.6-liter V6. But it doesnt stop there; no expense was spared on this incredibly professional build. The owner went all-in to make this one of the coolest Jeeps on the planet with the documentation to back it up. Lets start with that drivetrain. RPM Extreme, a leader in Jeep V8 conversions, performed the swap with a brand new LS3 mated to a 6L80E automatic transmission. There is a laundry list of items that had to be changed for everything to work flawlessly. The Corvette engine covers and Optima battery are the only things advertising this Jeep didnt come from the factory that way. To keep it all safe while crawling rocks, a Quadratech aluminum modular engine and trans skid plate is mounted underneath. The Rubicon received plenty of upgrades on the exterior look, including a new Power Dome hood before a complete repaint with the decals affixed under the clear coat (there isnt a scratch visible anywhere). Black Bushwacker flat-style fender flares keep rocks from hitting the paint, while LineX coating sprayed on the floorboards and inner fenderwells provides an additional layer of protection. A RubiTrux Maximus-3 accessory kit adorns the perimeter with a Stinger Starred Hoop front bumper housing a synthetic-roped 10,000-pound Warn winch and a modular tire carrier at the rear. Even the wheels and tires received the upgrade treatment with 35x12.50x17 Toyo Open Country A/T Extreme II tires mounted on 17-inch Mopar wheels with 1.5-inch spacers. Of course, lighting is critical when off-roading at night, so this LS Rubicon is outfitted with plenty of auxiliary lights, including a windshield-mounted 50-inch two-row LED light bar and two cowl-mounted ARB LED Flood Beams. The stock headlights were upgraded to projector beams, and there are floodlights in the bumper as well. To help with handling and ride quality, Fox shocks with remote reservoirs afford a smoother experience and extra travel on the trails. A Rough Country dual steering stabilizer keeps the Jeep pointed in the right direction. A Power Stop Z36 Extreme Performance Disc Brake Kit was added front and rear. The interior wasnt left out of the forgotten on this build either. Remote start will get the Rubicon warmed up before you hop into the Katskin covered seats. The padded rollbar features grab bars to ease ingress/egress into the cabin. Extra gauge pods monitor all the vitals. The Sat/Nav stereo is now from Alpine with JL Audio Speakers and includes a lighted backup camera. In case you get lost on an excursion, you can call for help on a Cobra CB radio mounted in the security console. Even the antenna is upgraded to lessen the chances of being ripped off. Even if this Rubicon didnt have the LS3 underhood, it would be a stunning vehicle, but it is a Jeep of everyones dream with it included. Even if you never take it off-road, it has all the goodies to handle anything you can throw at it and make every other urban Jeep owner jealous. You would be hard-pressed to find a nicer-built Jeep than this one. Come by Art & Speed or call 901-850-0507 to find out more about this LS-powered beast! h4.
