I totally agree Jeep is a MONEY PIT!

[wrangler]

I like my jepp and i havent put that much money into it

[Freebird01]

that means you havent had it long enough. i built my whole suspension for about $300.

jeep...$500+ and that low number is for the lower end kits...

gears/lockers are more expensive. more expensive on fuel. my zuk even lifted with 32's and a 1.6L(orig. 1.3L) still gets 19-21 mpg and thats cause i havent hooked up the vss yet.

Ok our latest creation here at TRC offroad and yes it is bad ass. wheeled it all weekend no breakage. we hit pebbels, bam bam, pitfall, sluice, m-trail, Q trail, pipebender, and Rattlers tail. It has turned out better than I had planed on so I will put up a couple of pick for you guys.

This is the end of Sluice we had some sheet metal failures but no drive line breakage.

[wrangler]

that thing looks sweet

[ROCKREADYXJ]

your jeep could work like that too Call or set up an appointment and stop in. We build all kinds of Jeeps.

[wrangler]

what will that cost me 15+ g lol

[dmxjg35]

i saw that jeep last time i was up at joes shot, damn it is a beast, bug eyed and all, it just looks mean

[autocrave]

That thing looks mean as hell...

Love the bug eyes..lol :lol:

[ROCKREADYXJ]

I could build you a badass yj with coil overs front and rear for under $8k. Stretched and for linked in the rear and tri link in the front. On 37's and still streetable.

[wrangler]

sounds sweet...but i'm a little straped for cash lol

[XEON]

8k... thats with like dana 60's right and a atlas... I hope... hahha :D. Anyway my Jeep will = bad to the ass in due time. Just need to buy my Rubi for DD :). My mom was like you need to get one of those for everyday driving... I was like I KNOW

Oh FYI Joe...

That thing is a TANk. I like the white plastic skids. Good idea I am sure it slides nice on the rocks and such.

[ROCKREADYXJ]

Yes it works well and it protects the steering ram. You can drive a bad ass Jeep as a daily driver. Maybe not good gas miles but a definite comfortable ride. Hope to see it soon. Do you still want one of those 4.0's they got to go I have to many? I will give you one cheap.

[NYWheeler]

How did that radiator hold up in the rear? What kind of fan are you running and what kind of temps was it running?

[ROCKREADYXJ]

Last minute fans when we could not get the ones we wanted. go figure 2 stock jeep fans. It ran 150-180 all day long I think there is too much coolant.

[NYWheeler]

by the way how did NACfest go Joe. You have any pics or a link to some pics?

[ROCKREADYXJ]

I can put up a link or some pics but I have yet to get all of them

[dmxjg35]

i was looking over on naxja this morning and saw some pics from nac fest looked like a lot of jeeps were there, those guys are crazy, some of the vids posted were nuts. How did it go joe? you were hosting it this year right? i so wish i could have gone, hopefully next year.

[ROCKREADYXJ]

Yes I was in charge of trail this year. We may have another event in october. "Rocktoberfest" I hope

[JeepinINdaXJ]

that is sweet man it makes me want to just give you my xj and cash and say to what you want. What is the big plastic looking thing on the under side of the front diff? what size are thoes swampers? Looks great man wish i worked at a fab shop and just got to make jeeps kick ass all day.

[matt6669]

i think by the time me and joe are done with my rig i will be well over the 8k mark but we'll see
the process has started gonna start with axles and get those in before i go bigger with the suspension

[ROCKREADYXJ]

The plastic thing is a steering ram skid. and they are 39.5X18 boggers

[Chris 88 YJ]

Joe where are you getting the plastic from? I mangled my 1/4" belly skid at Tellico last week and I want to make a new one from 3/8" plate and put plastic on the bottom

thanks
chris

[ROCKREADYXJ]

That plastic is1.25 thick I got it from my material supplier. It’s not cheap at all that piece is like $100 or so I can't remember the actual price.
