I thought ya'll would like to see some off roading fun that I got to enjoy over the weekend. The steel blue TJ is mine, the green JK is a friends. My mods are 4.5 inch lift, 33's, Aussie locker's, Ford 8.8 rear axle (trashed the D35), Artec 8.8 truss system, disc brake swap (was drums), and 4.10's.

By they way, DB had a hand in the Ford 8.8 swap. Anyway, I'm happy with the results and not having to worry about breaking the rear.

Looks like fun! I have a few friends in to the jeep/ offroad truck scene but I've never been. Rick and I enjoy mudding on his quads when we get the chance, though.

How long have you been in to the off road stuff?

A few years. I'm into rock crawling more than the bogging. It is a blast and amazing where Jeeps can go, especially with lockers. If you have never tried this, you gotta at least ride along. Most thrilling time driving under 5 mph!

DB, I may have found a LS6, very cheap. Want to guess where I'm headed with this.....

That's great news. Get the engine, plan and plot your details, and we'll get that swap done. You'll love the difference in power.

Looks like you had a great time with the other Jeep.

Cool, I've purchased a few things from them. Do you have a good, inexpensive front sway bar quick disconnect for a 4-5 inch lift? I'm getting sick of cutting bolts off!!

I'm headed to Southwest Missouri Off Road Ranch this Friday while the wife is out fighting the crowds. It is just under 1k acres with many, many trails, up to level 5. Should be a great day. I'll certainly keep you in mind if anything breaks!

Brought an engine home yet? Let me know, if not, when you find one. We'll schedule a day to go get it together.

Not yet, the guy that told me about the LS6 has not come through, which really didn't suprise me much. Picking up a 5.3 or 6.0 is very easy and a dime a dozen, so it really gets down to when I can make the time...

I'm heading to SMORR on Friday, you want to go? It would be an entire day event.

Hey Andrew -

We do sell quick release... one is by JKS, real nice, adjustable and all. $160. If you just want quick release, about half that.
