PIAA's Extremely Jamboree-able Jeep.

When an enthusiast decides to invest in a build, many find themselves working towards a similar goal. 鈥淚 wanted to have the most unique show car/truck on the lot,鈥� or 鈥淚 only used custom parts for my build鈥� are quotes often seen in this line of work. Chris Olander, on the other hand, had a different goal in mind when building his 2015 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited.

鈥淥verall I wanted to build a vehicle that anyone else could build,鈥� says Olander. 鈥淏eing in the accessory business, I often see really fantastic show vehicles, but they are built with one-off or fully custom parts. While that makes a great show car, it sometimes doesn鈥檛 translate well into what most people can build.鈥�

To push his ideal, Olander couldn鈥檛 have picked a better platform to build upon. The current generation of Jeep Wrangler boasts the reliability of being a great all around vehicle, as well as one of the largest aftermarket catalogs around. With seemingly endless choices, it鈥檚 easy to build something crazy, or something clean and simple.

Keeping his build simple doesn鈥檛 mean it鈥檚 not without superior equipment, far from it. His front axles are paired up with a Dynatrac ProRock 44 diff and some heavy duty ball joints, complemented by G2 4.88 gears on the front and rear. Metal Cloak took care of his entire suspension, which includes a 3.5-inch lift kit and ARB long travel shocks. The Wrangler itself is rolling on Method 105 beadlock wheels and capable Falken Wild Peak tires.

鈥淚 have been very happy with the Metal Cloak Game Changer suspension system and Overline fenders,鈥� says Olander. 鈥淭hese two items give the Jeep the great ride necessary for long distance driving and the suspension travel needed for technical off-roading.鈥�

鈥淭he Falken Wild Peak tires combined with the Method beadlock wheels also contribute to great on-road manners and off-road capability with a quiet ride and the ability to run very low air pressure when on the trail,鈥� he continues.
