The build

What we did

This was Brad’s second time bringing his 2024 Wrangler Rubicon to us. On his first visit we installed a set of Rock Slide Engineering Power Step sliders. This time he came back for the front end, lighting and a roof rack.

We installed an ARB Stubby front bumper and mounted a Warn 10S winch and a pair of Diode Dynamics SS3 pods in the amber fog pattern. Then we moved to the hood, adding Diode Dynamics SS5 pods on Diode Dynamics cowl mounts. To finish the build, we installed an ARB roof rack, mounted his weBoost antenna on a folding mount, and added Adventure Rack Systems door hinge steps so he can easily reach the rack.

The work

Bumper

ARB Stubby front bumper

The Stubby keeps the bumper inside the fenders, which leaves the front tires clear for climbing, and its hoop protects the grille and winch.

Winch

Warn 10S winch

A Warn 10S winch mounted in the ARB bumper, with the wiring routed and protected back to the battery.

Fog

Diode Dynamics SS3 amber fog pods

A pair of Diode Dynamics SS3 pods in the bumper, with amber lenses in the fog pattern. The fog pattern spreads light wide and low, and amber cuts glare in snow, dust and rain.

Cowl

Diode Dynamics SS5 pods on cowl mounts

Diode Dynamics SS5 pods on Diode Dynamics cowl mounts at the base of the windshield, lighting the trail from higher up.

Rack

ARB roof rack with body supports

The ARB rack is drilled through the hard top and has supports that run down to the body. That takes the load off the hard top and transfers it to the Jeep itself.

Antenna

weBoost antenna on a folding mount

Brad’s weBoost antenna sits on the rack on a folding mount, so it can fold down out of the way when pulling into a garage.

Steps

Adventure Rack Systems door hinge steps

Folding steps from Adventure Rack Systems mount at the door hinges and give Brad a solid step up to reach the rack.

Zach did an excellent job replacing my Jeeps ball joints. Very satisfied with the joints he suggested and the work that was done.

Zach did some suspension work on my truck and it came out great, he was quick and the price was fair. Will definitely be back for more work in the future.

Zach was insanely helpful. He handled a pretty out of the box request with ease. I will recommend him to anyone in the area or passing through!

I had a great experience at Off Camber 4x4 as Zach is a true professional and pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond getting all hardware snugged up even though it wasn’t in the estimate - with being a late request made when I dropped off the truck. Additionally, Off Camber’s shop not only provided the most reasonable price out of the four estimates I received, they were the ONLY shop that recommended a follow up inspection for the type of service I had done. They installed a leveling kit, control arms, rear shocks, dual exhaust system, and a trailer receiver along with including the complementary inspection at 500 miles to make sure everything was still tight.

I had some Rubicon takeoff springs installed on my Wrangler JL Sport 2 door. It was awesome to watch Zach work. He took time to torque everything properly and still completed the job in a very timely fashion. It was a great experience!

Amazing experience. I needed to improve lighting on my truck and Zach provided excellent recommendations, found all the parts online for a good price, did excellent work and all for a very reasonable price. I'm definitely coming back. Highly recommend to everyone!
