    You better not switch to a Jeep!
    Unless it's an LJ, I'm cool with that.

    :laugh:

    Where do you plan to mount it? I have an easy setup for the bed rails I'll give you if you want, perfect for a 10lb'er

    Had a mostly stock third gen follow me everywhere I went. Pretty impressive where blocks and 285's will take you.

    Lol I saw a tree that looked like the one in the picture and considered making you a nice cedar chest

    It felt good and kinda sucked to lead the easy/medium group around. Next time I wheel, I'm going harder

    I know exactly what you mean. And next time I don't want to lead and I do want to do more challenging trails. I always asked if he was cool with the trail but I think I was more nervous than he was leading him up and down 4's

    4s are easy lol. Bronco Buster was hairy, but I did it on skinny 33s and an RTT. I need to average 4s, now. The last trip I was leading 2s and 3s, it was too easy lol. Fun, but too easy.

    If I was ever to be a TJ rubicon with a 6 speed...just a pipe dream.
    That would be stellar I appreciate it.
    Ya for sure makes you wonder, did I really need to go this far with mods.
    :ohsnap: Ya it’s getting chopped for sure.

    It was his first time out playing with his fairly new taco I wasn't about to take him on a 5+ :rofl: Plus, going up everything the wrong way like we did made things a bit more technical

    Sometimes I regret selling my Rubicon

    9526A3F8-EA5D-41A3-914B-1EF2FE72AD0B.jpg

    Then I remembered how much of a pain in the ass it was keeping it drivable. The taco is quieter, more comfortable, and way more reliable. It was a lot of fun though.

    It's nothing special, just a huge quick grip and a simple rail mount I rigged up, but it held my 20lb tank just fine in the bed. Or should hold a 10 pretty good. Are you going to use a commercial CO2 tank? You can find them cheap on Craigslist pretty cheap, just make sure you get a regulator and host that'll handle the high working pressure and extremely low temps. Lemme know if you have any questions or anything.

    Ya probably a commercial one already setup ready to go. I’ve been trying to get a parts list to build it and it’s only been 30-40 less. That’s awesome Alex I really appreciate it.

    The rubicon would be fun we had a basic TJ way back in the day rode like chit got terrible milage but fun in the dirt. The old mans 16 jk/jl no clue on that, rides great on the road he don’t have a real fancy setup but damn it’s phenomenal on the trails. I see why your wanting to do the dual cases now couldn’t believe how low the gearing is in that thing.
