2012 Rubicon here, on 37s. 4:88 gears, but stock axles (trussed and gusseted) and brakes (and rear drive shaft *gasp*). I'm a "weekend warrior" type, though and I don't bash on it since it's my DD. I used the inner liners from my stock front fenders, so I'm dealing with some of the same rattling issues as you. Let me also say that I wish I had the kinds of trails you guys do out west. All that's here is GA red clay and slippery rocks.

Hey Jade, so true on the “how you drive it” point. You can get away with running some stock components if you take it easy on the rough stuff. Sounds like a great build!
@puckerfactoroffroad13262 жыл бұрын
The people giving you crap can shove it! The dana 30 is basically a dana 44 with a smaller ring gear and different spline count. I have the 44 and 37s. Did what you did to beef it up and the stock axle shafts have even held up pretty well. Brakes are the same story for me too. I just have a 2 door but the stock brakes will still lock up the 136lb 37" trail grapplers and beadlocks. Love the build. Did what you had to do to keep it functional and looking good, nothing flashy. Looks great!

Hi Kalab, awesome video. Thanks for the walk around and all the great information you shared. I am 60 yrs old and have had Jeeps since I was in my 20's. They are usually stock. Here to say when jeep say's trail rated it is, once you don't abuse the use of it or do the really extreme rock climbing adventures. So don't apologize for still having some items stock, they work just fine. The aftermarket Jeep world is a guaranteed money pit as we all find out soon enough😉. I am to retire soon and now in the past year overwhelmed with the thought of Overlanding and back country adventure. Lots to take away from your video, thanks. As we Jeep owners know the ride has gotten better, the heater works better and after many years we now have better headlights... Or and gas mileage is still bad but we all love our wranglers, that was untill Jeep streached it into a family JK and it grew two more doors.😁. I have a 2009 Sahara with 746KM, only a couple of alternators and a few sets of Goodyear Wranglers later... Keep making these interesting informative videos, enjoy your adventures, live your dreams. Life is short, God bless.

Great video man. Super thorough walkthrough. My build is quite similar to yours. Also hails from Connecticut! Totally agree with you on not needing to upgrade the front D-30. I run 35s on mine and it’s never given me any issues. I didn’t bother with lockers either. Upgrading axles is only necessary on dedicated trail rigs that don’t spend much (or any) time on the street. A nicely built Jeep with some armor, skids, 35s, and a moderate lift is perfect for 99% of folks out there.

Great build. I started a channel (with one video) but lost my jeep (JLUR)for the last 5 months due to someone hitting my front axle. I'm back in the saddle and eager to travel and film again. Like you I go from very clean to dirty and clean again and the advice I give folks when they mistake my JL for a mall crawler is, LOT'S of elbow grease, meaning washing the bottom of the jeep just like the top side and the key is to prep the bottom before a trip. As corny as it sounds, I spray the mess out of my axles, frame, etc. with a non stick tire shine. It helps prevent the dirt and mud from sticking so much, but I still have to clean by hand with purple power cleaner, a brush, and a rag. I NEVER use pressure washer of any type under the jeep. If anyone cares to look, my jeep is the Granite crystal Gray jeep in my video, be sure to watch long enough to see it clean in the beginning and dirty in the end. Lol.

Hey man, a very humble video about your awesome rig. I have a family of 5 and have a roofnest condor XL, and havent went out camping yet, as I have not yet installed it in my JK. Do you think the Rhino rack is a must or the roof rack that connects to the gutter mount and the rear window bracket hold up? Thanks for putting out an awesome video

Hey Rizwan, good Q. Do you know what weight the rack you’re thinking about is rated for? My guess is it wouldn’t be strong enough and/or could damage your hardtop over the long run. With that much weight up there it’s best if the rack is supported by the roll bar more than the hard top itself. The rhino rack has a foot that rests on the roll bar at the midway point of the hardtop and at the rear along the sides of the tub. This takes the load off the fiberglass top itself which is what you want to safely carry that much weight. Sounds like you’re on your way to a great set up to take the family camping!

Would you share why you ditched theTeraflex 2.5" lift?
@michaelmcclellan94222 жыл бұрын
I have the exact same jeep except mine is a Rubicon and have the 3" Tera flex lift with the older adjustable arms, (not the Alpine arms) and it is super squirrelly on the road, any dip in the road and it darts around really bad.

Hey Michael, to answer your first question on the 2.5 lift - I changed to 3.5” lift when I went from 35s to 37s for clearance. Hard to say on why your Jeep is flighty over bumps on road. I know that can be a common issue with lifted Jeeps but in my experience it’s usually because the Jeep isn’t setup properly geometry-wise. A few things to check: alignment, drag link and tie rod should be close to parallel (not an overly acute angle of difference between them), control arms need to be long enough to re-center the axles in the fender well, avoid using wheel adapters or extra wide wheel offsets, front sway bar links need to be tall enough to re-level the front sway bar after lift. Hopefully some of these things get you started. Might be worth taking it to a reputable off road shop in your area and having them diagnose it.

@@4XTRAIL thanks for the detailed reply. We have checked most things you mentioned. I'll check into the rest. Thank you. Did your jeep on 35s with the 2.5" Teraflex ride nice? Any issues? Did you have the Alpine arms then?

@@4XTRAIL everything checks out good and tight on my Jeep except the rear track bar, the heim joint at the axle end has some play in it. I'm going to change that out this weekend and go from there. Thanks for the reply.
