any jeepers or offroaders here?

[4camV8]

i have missed this place... my jeep project has been taking up all my time (and $$$). But it's a blast... i've discovered a whole new world of automotive fun...

Any of you off road at all? i have a jeep page on my cobra site:

I'm a jeeper. The JWR in my name stands for Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.

Here's my baby:

 

[4camV8]

nice! those new rubi's are sweet... and it's even all in one piece too, unlike my CJ! haha

 

[SVTHorsnake]

here's mine

-4.5 inch Rubicon Express Lift with 2 inch spacers
-Dana 44's with 35 housings back and front
-Atlas II Transfer case
-Advanced Adapters mating kit
-Warn X8000i winch (removable)
-Cobra CB
-Rack, Lights, Mean-ass Bumber
-Pioneer head unit, Sony Subs, Kenwood KC - 718 Amp

... just to name a little...

Jeeps kick ass:rockon: I have mine at Moab every year and it made it through Rubicon with no skid plates and open diffs all around, not pulled/winched once in its lifetime and I've taken 3+4 trails head on... The only winching I've done is for others:rockon:


(can you tell I'm proud of her?):beer:

 

[Nuclrslug]

96 1 ton Ford. 460, stick, 4" lift (makes it look a 1/2 ton with 10 inches), steel belted 16.5-14.5X36 swampers, Warn military 12,000 pound winch on receiver mount & wired front & back, Huge tractor battery in the bed to power the winch.

Hell yes I'm into trucks. The cool thing about it is the fact that if I want to beat on it, triple digit speeds aren't involved and jail time isn't usually a possibility! Just a little muddy and God made dirt and dirt don't hurt.

none of those... hehe, it's a ZJ (1993 Grand Cherokee) first gen of the V-8's so it got the 5.2 L. The coolest part is, I did all that starting with 96,000+ miles on the clock (I inhereted my mom's soccer mom car and turned it into what it is now. I never would've expected it at 8 years old, we got it in 1992 as a 1993 model year and never thought anything of it, 1999 rolls around and I'm modding the shit out of it!:rockon:

Here's a link to my friend's site, it's on that page of pics, it's the black one, it's not a great picture but you get the idea.

http://www.geocities.com/xjdriver90/afs.html

it RTI'ed at 1,018 on a 30 degree ramp!

:beer:

EDIT: Add Rancho Remote Air Adjust to the mods list up top

 

[RSXFMCJWR]

I knew you would chime in SVTHorsnake.

Nuclrslug, you truck sounds really cool, got any pics?

 

[DOHC32VMark8]

I love offroading! I have an '88 Suzuki Samurai with a few mods, and let me tell you, I haven't gotten stuck yet, between all my friends with jeeps and blazers, the samurai kicks all their asses!! Of course they are small/light as hell, and underpowered, but that can be fixed with a simple engine swap!:thumbsup: i'll try to find some pics somewhere.

 

[99cobrablack]

77 hiboy, rearched front springs with 3 added leaves, homemade rear lift blocks, 38's, dana 60 rear, 44 front:bash: with 4:56 gears. 400, 4 speed, flat-tops, mild cam, ect. ect. np205 transfer case. Nicknamed the war wagon. I am trying to gather everything needed for the ps swap to get rid of the old hydraulic assist steering(no real power steering an 38's suck) Also needing to get a dana 60 front so I can have fun, or smaller tires.

I used to own a 97 TJ w/ 33's and all kinds of goodies. When I moved so So. Cali., I swapped it for the Cobra. Now that I'm in the Reno/Tahoe area, I wish I had that Jeep. This time, I'm not going to swap...I'm getting a truck.

RSX,
Nice Ruby!!!

AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!:lol1: :lol:

you can see the spacers sitting on eachother in the first pic. Glad somebody understands that there are very few times when body lifts are justified:beer: (for tire clearence that is):thumbsup:

nice looking truck!

which pic is more current? you have a different set up in front in each picture...

 

[MatchStick]

The top one is current. The body lift was on it when I bought the Jeep and I'm too lazy to remove it.

But it will be tossed later on this year.

I would actually keep it, you'll need it for those beefy meats sitting under there. It's legit.

So you took OFF the winch and the nice bumper and lights? why?

:beer:

I'm gonna do an SOA conversion, so that much body lift won't be needed. I'm thinking 1" will be fine. (wait a minute that didn't sound good :-D )

I got tired of getting bad approach angles with the ARB bumper so i sold it to a buddy I wheel with. I do plan on getting another winch though.
