Likewise! love meeting fellow adventurers out in the wild. you guys were great company and my whiskey was enjoyed! happy travels and I subbed to enjoy your adventures

Glad you enjoyed! I'll be hitting the desert again in 2 weeks, can't wait.

Thanks for watching!

Awe thanks! Yeah, I tend to beat up on myself for my flaws, but I am generally a pretty happy guy.

Glad you enjoy them! I'm running 4 inch springs. its been awhile, I don't even remember what brand I went with. a 1 inch body lift which allowed me to do a tummy tuck with a UCF skid plate and 1 inch motor mount lift. curry control arms. metal cloak track bar. antirock swaybars front and rear ( in the video I did not have a track bar, which contributed to the wheelie, much more stable now) Dana30 in the front with a Detroit trutrack LSD and a custom D44 from East Coast Gear in the rear stuffed with a Yukon Grizzly locker. 4:88 gears. I think that covers most of it.

Awesome man yeah that covers it!! I have a 2005 LJ and thinking about putting the truetrac up front in the Dana 30, how do you like it ? Would you buy it again or do something different ?

true track is great for mild offroading, but I plan on putting a locker in the front. My dad has a jeep very similar to mine but has the locker in the front and trutrack in the back. when climbing ledges and obstacles in moab his does better because the rear usually has great traction with all the weight on it while climbing but the front often gets light or even lifts a tire then the true track does not work. so, I would recommend a locker in the front. If you stick with 35s, the D 30 can handle a locker within reason. @@jordanhendricks5203

You bet. Glad you enjoyed! I cannot describe how much I love Northern Nevada. The stark beauty and solitude are breath taking.

yes. when this video was filmed, it was my daily driver still and I wanted the lighter weight of the narrow 33's. they did very well on and offroad except in deep mud, sand or snow when you would want more floatation.

Howdy! I used to run 33's but have been on 35's for a few years now. 4:88 gears, yukon grizzly locker in the rear and Detroit trutrac in the front. a front locker is something I am planning on doing. other bits: she has a tummy tuck, Currie Antirock sway bars front and rear and a bunch of other stuff. Glad you enjoy the video!

Amen!

At the time of this video, it was on 33 inch tires with a D30 front and D35 rear. 4:88 gears, Detroit trutracs front and rear. cromo axle shafts. it had a 2 inch BDS lift and a one inch body lift with a "tummy tuck" (aftermarket motor mounts and trans skid that raise the belly a few inches. currie antirock sway bar in front. rugged ridge front bumper, smittybilt rear bumper and dont remember the brand of the engine skid and rocker guards. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuf lol. Now I have her on 35's with a custom D44 in rear with Grizzly locker and 4 inch lift etc etc. she's a keeper.

My pleasure! makes me glad that my humble video encourages people to get out and enjoy life and not be held back.

Lol.

I talk a lot and Take a lot. LOL. gotta be comfortable.

Thanks buddy. Fins n things never gets old.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

I ran 2.5 inches of lift with torsens and flat fenders when I ran 33's now its 4 inches of spring lift plus a 1 inch body lift to do a tummy tuck and it's got a locked d44 in rear and running 35s now. It was a better all around jeep on the previous set up but is a better trail rig now

She's an auto. 4:88s and it used to be torsens front and rear but now it has a custom D44 in the rear with a grisly locker.

@@slobert1970 ohhhhhh nice! I’ll add it to my notes, I ABSOLUTELY love your Jeep. So much I went out and bought a 2005 hahaha. I’ll probably never put bigger than 31’s on it since it’s my DD but one can dream. Stay safe out there!

@dad3562 no shame in 31s! I bought a cheap 4x4 99 ford ranger a few years ago for camping, towing jetskis etc. Last summer took it on a few wheeling trips and was reminded how much fun you can have wheeling a more basic rig. I kinda want to buy a yj and keep it stripped down and light on 31s. Saw one the other day and it just looked so right. Glad you enjoy your jeep and I'm stoked for anypart I played in inspiring the purchase

@@slobert1970 nice!!!! Yeah no joke on 31’s. I went off-roading with a Gladiator that was lifted on 37’s and he kept getting hung up and stuck a few times, my jeep on 31’s cruised right through and over. I also want to get an old jeep that’s all stock as well. Yes thank you for the inspiration!

I have the 42rle, a 4 speed auto. I went with 4:88's and that was perfect for 33's and good with the 35's I have now. but, the 4 speed has a very deep overdriver. I'm not as familiar with the 3 speed. also, it partly depends on how you use it. if do a lot of freeway i'd probably go with 4:10. but if you dont go much over 65 go with the 4:56. I've known many jeepers who wish they had gone deeper on the gears but not many who wish they had gone smaller. especially if 35's are in the future.

@@slobert1970 thanks for your input. I did a calculator for my 3 speed with the 35’s. With 4.10 gears at 70 mph rpm’s will be at 2755. What do you think about that? With 33s and 4.10s at 70 mph will be 2922. Will the 4.10’s and 35’s still be able to rip around comfortably off road you think?

@trailrippers1588 the auto is less sensitive to gearing than a manual. 4:10s and 35s would be ok but if it was my jeep and 35s were the eventual goal I'd go 4:56.

Its a Landyatchz Switch 40. Its a drop deck style board. low center of gravity great for carving, sliding and easier on the knees as well.

Australia! you guys have an incredible outback to explore. but American TV would have me beleive everything there is posionous and trying to kill you. If I win the lottery, I'm going to ship my jeep down under and see for myself!

@@slobert1970 just come over and buy one here it will be cheaper and you need a right hand drive. You will love it. There are some awesome tracks that run sometimes for 1800 kms. When you come to Townsville or anywhere up North you will have to watch out for saltwater crocodiles and anywhere in Australia there are snakes but if you leave them alone they usually leave you alone. If you come over give me a call and I will show you around. It is really an awesome country.

I bet you have some great stories! Glad you enjoyed my video. Wheel on!

Sounds like you have a good set up. My dad is also in a 5 speed with LSD44 in the rear and a locker in the front. His jeep works really well. a locker in the front makes a lot of sense because when climbing ledges and hills, it has less weight on it and is more likely to unload or lift up. In this video, when I was running 33's, I typically ran 12 PSI. now running 35's, I run 10 psi. I've never lost a bead on my steelies. If I find some money under a rock I'd love some beadlocks, but I'm pretty happy with how my rig works so I'm in no hurry.

well said. I'm on several Jeep facebook pages and so many people buy a jeep and ask off the batt what size lift and tires they should get. My reply is to get a winch and armor and go hit the trail as it is. find out what it and the driver can do. then modify as necessary to fit the type of wheeling they end up doing. last year I started doing some light offroading in my 99 ranger. its bone stock on 31's. and you know what....it was ridiculously fun. I took another friend with a similar ranger over a section of trail I have done many times in the jeep. the jeep you can just point it straight down the trail and drive over everything. in the long low ranger, we really had to think and plan our way through. it was a blast. So yes, I agree with you! a moderate rig is a blast and can do a large majority of non buggy trails, and have a blast doing it.

You made my day! So glad my humble video inspired you to try something new! Life is short. Seize the day!

Yeah, my dad's awesome! 🙂

I'm not sure they really list one officially, but I was about 325 lbs and never worried about it.

Hey buddy! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yup, I'm on 35s now, including the recent video. I used to defend the d35 but am so glad I now have a d44. I would recommend sticking to 33s on the d35. The good news is you can still do a lot if wheeling on 33s.

I'll be heading out in 2 weeks for another trip. hope to have a video up soon after. glad you enjoy!

@@slobert1970 Shweet! I should be starting my adventure the middle of June. Heading for Montana / Idaho, then will meander to southern AZ late fall. Maybe see you out in the wilderness! I put a short vid of my ride on my channel, just click my avatar, only two vids there.
