Hell yeah! I'm heading to Moab on the 28th!

First time entering Hells Gate caught me off guard. Didn't expect the entrance to be as steep and blind as it was

 

I will agree on that. I would much rather go up stuff than come down haha

 

Swingout, Bed rack and Bed side guards are for sale.

Bed bob time?

 

Yep. Going to take it to the rear shackle hangers (12"? maybe more?) for now with the spare in the bed. Was going to shorten the wheel base but decided for the kind of wheeling I do, I like the extra length. And I dont mind making a couple point turns.

 

Trimming up the rear will make for some fun wheeling. I think ~11" will take you right to the shackles.

I've been debating whether to get rid of my swingout or not already (I've only had it for 2 months). I enjoy the high clearance bumper, but I'm not a fan of how much I feel the swingout/tire/co2 tank bouncing around back there.

 

After I did the Rubicon, I was pretty set on making my truck more rock crawler, less overland rig. Ill high clearance the bedsides and do a simple tube bumper that just wraps around the edges. I liked the swingout and the extra bedspace but did not like the over hang and constantly dragging it and worry about catching the tire. Ill just become good at packing and put the spare in the bed with my box and then the RTT on my daily/tow rig.

And in the mean time, looking for a good deal on 37s, a trail gear rock assualt housing (or the likes) to make the front wider and some 5.29 thirds with selectable lockers. Haha never ending hobby.

 

Agreed. The extra bed space is nice, but it's something I never use as is. I've got packing down to a science and have everything sorted in Plano cases for quick grab and go which makes camping awesome. Shit, when we leave next week I'm likely going to take the swingout off and throw the tire in the bed.

If I come across an axle up here I'll let you know. James at low range likely knows of a few waiting to be picked up whenever you're ready to pull the trigger

 

Rear steer could solve that issue

 

Same for me. All my cooking crap is in a pelican case, extra parts and tools in my metal box, and camping gear in a corner lol. And I was going to do the same with my spare for moab incase there was any big drops but didnt end up needing to do that.

Was just getting ready to send James a message lol. Was supposed to meet up with him in Moab but didnt get the chance. WIll probably see him on the rubicon.

 

Yeah no hahah not gonna happen.

 

it was worth a shot anyways

 

Well sold the bed rack locally.

Also left out that i won a $1000 gift certificate to poison spyder. Poison spyder is only jeep stuff but I called them and said I could use it towards their sister company pro comp. With that i ended up ordering 4 37 in extreme mt2s from them. Pretty stoked and grateful the company let me do that. Can't recommend them enough for customer service.

So with that I am on the look for some 17in wheels. Any suggestions? I was thinking the fanboy scs ray 10s, raceline avenger, or any other aluminum wheel with some sort of removable ring. Thinking about powder costing the inside A color.

 

Beadlocks man, get some beadlocks!
