Granted all this was done with a 4 cylinder jeep, and less power equals less energy to break things, and yes I did sell it once I had a family but under my own choice BRUCE lol I was in the game for over 10 years, and it had just lost the fun for me personally. I may come back and when I do, it will be in an XJ
ANYONE in this club will tell you, I beat the ever loving snot out of my jeep, put zero preventive maintenance into it and it just kept coming back for more. I clanged and banged, and wheeled my way to the top.
I started out with just budget boost and a 3 inch body lift on 33s and 4.88 gears open/open, I evenly got to 4 inch short arm lift and 35s. I ran a lunch box locker in the front and a LSD in the rear, on my last run with the jeep I finally did have a super 35 in the rear with a Detroit.
Armor up, and get a few runs in you. We offer beginner trails and runs for jeeps with little to no mods, you would be surprised what I stock jeep with a few mods can do. Make sure you like it before you get down and dirty with swapping axles.
Im not saying axles failures dont ruin the day, but you can recover from that by carring a spare, Ive seen way more driveshafts and brake lines spoil the fun and knock ya out of comish
Scratch the axle and put a CO2 air tank set up on your list. It makes setting a bead so much easier on the trail, and for airing up after the run. I always aired down really low, worked well for me. I think i have an extra one 10lb one kicking around Ill look.
You are one the right track with skid plates, When it comes the the trans, I think you already ordered it, but one that tucks the depth of the skid is nice, I had a UCF 1 inch drop, it was nice and well built. Deff get the one that covers the PS box, not being able to steer will also put you out of comish as well.
Like I said, wheel it like you have it now, see what holds you up, then go from there, but to just say you cant wheel with a d35 on 35s is absurd, I mean comeon it had "35" right in it!!!
