What do you mean reversed? Mines the same. I think

LBarr2002 · Oct 19, 2014

AA site says the pattern is reversed. All the way forward is 4 low and all the way back is 2 high.

Mines the same pattern as stock. All the way back is 4 low. Maybe they changed it

Is there a difference between the Rubicon Case and 231?

Maybe they changed it.

I don't know. The 231 and 241 are different part numbers but I wouldn't think the shift pattern would be different.

I'm late to the party, but here's what I built for mine a few years ago. Probably way overbuilt. I used 1.5"x3/16 wall square tube, some 3x3x1/4" angle for the mounts, and skinned it will 3/16" plate. It's taken some abuse over the years and still going strong.

Raw aluminum. To paint or not to paint? I know it will get scratched up, bUT thinking glossy paint might help keep mud from sticking.

Coat it down with wd40 and ride out.

You think I would actually polish something? Lucky if my vehicles get washed twice a year.

Let's be honest it's under the jeep, no one is ever gonna be like dam your skid is really dirty unless you roll over. And even if it's painted it's still gonna get nasty

My question had nothing to do with appearance. Only thinking would it be easier to hose out if painted glossy. Answer is yes. Will I do it? Probably not...

Paint it the color of dirt then it'll never get dirty
