The shots @4:18 & @5:45 beach wheelin in the Outer Banks is by far my favorite off roading. Surf fishing and beach camping are about as cool as it gets. Unlike @7:17, my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn 4.0 has a soft top, and the doors and top in the garage from April - Oct. The Jeep is meant to have that open air experience within a few minutes, especially at the beach!! Never been a fan of hardtops cocooning its passengers. That's what the 4 dr limos do, certainly not in a True Jeep. Excellent video of father and son wheelin in a TJ, the greatest generation of Jeep. 😎🏖
Hi, that's a great looking Rubicon...! I have a 2005 Jeep Rubicon as well and I'm planning to swap the Front DANA 44 to a DANA 60 from Fusion 4x4 but I haven't deiced how wide I'm going to go, so I just want to know what WMS of your Son's Jeep, and also what is the rear axle as well, type of wheels (Size,bolt pattern,Offset, backspace...etc.) I'm not sure if 65.5" (JK's WMS) or the bare Ford F350 Super Duty WMS but I'm little bit concern of how it's going to look with the wider stock Super duty axle; I think axle with (WMS) of your Son's Jeeps is perfect in my opinion but just wanted know your thoughts.
If I remember correctly, I believe he said, those are Rubicon Express 4.5 Springs. I think he may be running a coil spacer as well. That should put it around 5.5 inches of lift. He hasn’t modified the fenders.
You mentioned gearing a couple times in the video but didn’t mention ratio (unless of course I missed it) would you mind sharing the ratio? I too have the 42rle and would like to go to 37’s
Bad ass jeep tj,s are the last real jeeps are those axle,s stock width if so what backspacing are your rims i have an 04 and a 79 hi pinion 60 what year is the 60 on the rubi thanx bro.
The backspacing is 3.5 inches. The axles are not stock width, but I don't remember the exact specs. I'm pretty sure they had the front one built to 68.5 WMS.
It's not a TJ anymore. I know people gonna cry. Keep jeep parts and upgrade. Not swaping ford, gmc ,so on so on. Rcv axle and sleeve and gusset and keep KEEP JEEP...
