It would be a cool and hilarious video if they took this beast into a Jeep Dealership for service under warranty spoof!🤪

[@fr.rochmarycfrgreiner6419]

I noticed you mentioned changing the spring rates on all your builds with the Evo setup. I just did the king arm setup on my 2021 JLU and it is crazy stuff so I imagine you put lighter spring rates on? It looks like it based on your coil size diameter especially the top spring in the front. I know you can’t give away all your secrets but it would be helpful to know. If I didn’t live out in SoCal I’d come pay you a visit. Nice Builds!

the tire carry would look great in black ;) how much would a build like this be? I almost bought wrangler to build it up but then decided to wait for the bronco. but jeeps are starting to look good again. so rugged and... 'bad ass' :D

Awesome build! How does the power compare to the 392?

[@Exodus4x4]

The conversions will always be more unrefined and tuned for more power than the factory option.

[@christophebuffard7943]

Impressive indeed, Bubba could you tell us what made you choose F9 over D60? only weight? The Currie F9 is LP front and rear, I understand you don't see that as an issue? Thanks!

[@Exodus4x4]

Lighter and stronger than any D60. Low pinion is not an issue as long as the front is limit strapped to avoid binding at full droop. This one is build for speed, not rock crawling so the loss of droop is negligible.

[@nblivin]

Curious why Ford 9's instead of 1 tons? I am a fan for sure. Running a Tru Hi-9 in the rear of my TJ and debating what to do up front when my D30 explodes. Lol

[@Exodus4x4]

The 9” is actually stronger than a D60 due to the pinion engagement with the ring gear.

[@hushmoney2058]

Sting Grey ....

[@jimsather6892]

This is an amazing build and almost exactly what I want to do with my JL. It seems like it would be an amazing rock crawler. However, with that in mind the one thing I don't understand is why low pinion axles. Is the primary purpose something other than rock crawling?

[@Exodus4x4]

This is a built more for speed than slow rock crawling.

[@jimsather6892]

@@Exodus4x4 Aah, that makes sense. One thing I have been going back and forth on is DTD or no-DTD. Ignoring the price of DTD, for a daily driven rock crawler with the occasional desert bombing, would you recommend DTD or just the regular Evo HC Long arm and coilover kit for the JL. I imagine the DTD shines at speed, but does it help at all in the rocks, or just decrease travel by an inch (relative to no-DTD)?

[@Exodus4x4]

Just bolt one and the high clearance long arm kit

[@michaelhalstead64]

You said this was built for speed. Not rock crawling. What would you do different for rock crawling? Would you still go with the F9?

[@Exodus4x4]

Nah I would just go with the bolt on coilovers instead of the double throw down. This world with crawling but its overbuilt for that in my opinion

36k just for the Hemi swap, jeep was probably 60k and you still need all the parts they added and the labor. Parts are easy 10-15k and labor to install this was probably another 5k at least. Easy above 100k.

I dont see the point to all that. I'm sure that build was no less than 125k. For that you could have the best buggy or rock bouncer, that could do a lot more than a jeep.
