Bout time - So I proudly inrtoduce to the WORLD -
"The Rock Hound"

[EeePee]

Great.

How about some still close ups so we can have a look?

[rckjeep]

Nice, I dig the high clearance skid plate. You really need to try Narrowed wheels. Ask Badger how much of difference it makes.

jeep_boy02,

Nice ride! you definitly need to narrow your rims and cut those tires up!
I used rckjeeps tires last weekend and the kicked ass all over my cut up wide txt tires!

rckjeep, If I did not have my new LST's I would have taken your tires and ran!

[Nomercy]

nice, like the tread lightly sticker

also you should try your batts. up front if theres room.

[RocJoc]

Nice crawler but i agree narrow the rims and cut your tires.
All and put a rubicon body on it.

[jeep_boy02]

Actually I am one step ahead of you all! I had the front wheels narrowed before I posted, but after I took the shots - So Im half way there. the rears I am going to do Sunday when I aint workin with a chop saw cause the had saw I used on the fronts just didnt do great job - I kinda gots a wobble now Thanks for the comments and hopefully I will follow rckjeep and put some K-Rocks on the TXT rims.

[jeep_boy02]

OHH yeah and for rocjoc - nothing against the Rubi's(I am actually thinkin bout buying a real one) but I will go with the CJ body

in reference to buying a Rubicon, Don't do it man. Spend the $30k on your CJ.

Just buy a regular TJ and get a 44 front made for it. The Rubi front 44 is just a tease. It's the 44 housing but the 30 outers. It's also got a funky 44 carrier I hear and you can build a Rubi Killer a lot cheaper.

Sweet ride!!! Cut the tires and narrow the rims and you will notice a pretty big diffrence.

Nice rig...BUT

(I know, it's been said...)

...but cut the tires, narrow the rims, and move that battery to the front.

[jeep_boy02]

As for the rubi - it is actually a choice I have to make - I gots a 5.9 limited grand and I am going to
1: keep it, throw in 60's with some 33s and have a nice trail rig
2:trade it for a Rubi
3: trade it for 05 Grand (can you say HEMI)
4: Sell it and buy another CJ

60s and 33"s?? Are you looking for the worlds least amount of ground clearance? Hell, you could run a 30/35 combo if thats all you want!

[jeep_boy02]

Im being conservative and I want more beef than the 30's

yeah I could beef it up but that would run more than plopping a 60's under - I will most likely go with 35s though and will probally settle
on 44's since I gots some of them anyways

[jeep_boy02]

Heres some shots of my wheels and tires - narrowed and stock

You're a good D44 candidate ;)

[kona_joe]

Nice TXT!

So how does it perform after all the mods to the suspension and chassis?

[jeep_boy02]

Lots better than stock - Although I only ran it once that way! - and thanks to you(Kona) for all the good Ideas

[minitrucker]

Hey man. This is Josh, the guy you got the txt from. I now have another txt and I want to do something like what you did. Have any tips for doing to center skid mod that you did? Let me know man and again, I love what you have done with it.

Sorry to did up a very old topic
