    so, i built another set of sliders for "ninorth". I didnt notice but the steel i used was warped 1/8". I thought maybe, driving my truck on it would straighten them out... well after 4-5 tries i was able to get it to straighten... this is single 2" square tube, some tough shit!!!

    Agreed. If anyone casts doubt on JD and his truck he will just make a fool of you...

    I have done the Rubicon over 20 times, all in my 85' Toy extra cab crawler. All you need is lockers-front and rear, the willingness to except some body damage, and some balls! I did the rubicon my first time with my 85 extra cab, 31" tires, no lockers, no gears. I had to get a little help and hit somethings harder than other people did but.....I made it! Now I have 35" Mickey Thompson Claws, 5:29 gears, and detroit lockers front and rear.
