Maxed Out Off-Road is one of the respected Jeep shops that are now in existence. Jason Hulbert, the one who started it, spent years of reducing Jeep vehicles to their components before he was able to finally realize his dream of putting up a Jeep shop himself. The most recent rig that rolled out of the Maxed Out Off-Road is the 2006 Rubicon. At first, Jason just went on building on the ’06 Rubicon even though he does not have a particular customer in mind. He just kept on working on it and when it was finished, decided on keeping it instead. This move is done to further promote the company and also to equip him with a competent trail rig.

One of the first things that Maxed Out changes when improving a vehicle is its stock suspension components. These are the suspension components that originally came with the vehicle. Maxed Out pulls off all these stock suspension components and install new ones like Koni shocks. As for the ’06 Jeep Rubicon, its stock suspension components were hauled and replaced with an Nth Degree Mobility 6-inch long arm kit. This is combined with Bilstein shocks, specifically the Bilstein 5100 shocks, and a high-steer system with selectable sway-bar setup from TeraFlex. With the changes made, Rubicon was transformed to a vehicle with enhanced suspension capabilities and steering that can withstand hardcore driving.

In order to gear the ’06 Rubicon with more power to run on sand and mud, it was backed up with a stock six-speed transmission and the NVG 241OR Rubicon T-case. It has a Trailjammer kit from Edge Products that does its tweaking in the system for more horsepower and torque. As for the interior, Maxed Out thought it best to keep it simple and ergonomic. It was installed with a set of MasterCraft seats and an OR-FAB sport cage. It has undergone four-wheeling test to check on the new components. The ’06 Rubicon was seriously tested in Moab, Utah and at the Easter Jeep Safari.
