I saw a Pro Rock 80 come into the warehouse when we were there. Rig looks sweet. We stopped in on our way to Utah and checked it out. AWESOME!

Rex is getting a D80. Here are some pictures of it from today. You can see the suspension components

The links for the 3 link hanging down:

The Dynatrac d-80 axle. TnT will truss it tomorrow and attach it.

The shocks and coils from the lever suspension

And, Allen (Alasha), The exhaust is now chopped. You can also see the other parts of the EVO lever to the right.

VERY nice build! Something to aspire to!

 

[ALASHA]

Nice. I am assuming he is going to weld on a tip to angle the exhaust down a bit?

Update on Rex.

The D-80 is on hold for a bit. Im going to take out the EVO Lever and put in a different rear suspension. The lever with Rex's setup was going to take a lot of work. Since it takes a lot of work, then, the reasoning goes, why stop there? Why not continue down the JKuggy path? So we are stepping back and thinking about what to do. The d-60 is back under Rex.

Part of the thinking is driven by the fact Rex's frame is getting soft. TNT has welded and gusseted the frame a couple times to repair cracks. Rexy has 44+k miles on him. No more than 15k are on road. Lots of hardcore miles, and the wear is showing on the frame.

The parts on Rex are all good so that's a plus. :thinking:

After Rocktoberfest Rex will be in the shop a few months---taking to the next stage. Maybe by Winter on the Rocks the next iteration will be ready.

Yeah. Addictions. Addictions. Actually the jeeps take the place of a cabin, boats, and other expensive habits. My family, lucky for me, love the jeeps. Plus I am lucky to have TnT work on my jeep. Bob loves seeing what I do with Rex.

The Gekko and Dozer don't break easily. My new rig (001. The '08 JKU) won't either. Rex will get modified and be tough too. All the lessons learned from Rex and from the experiences of others on JKO all save a lot of money--my builds (with the exception of Rex) are more of a one time investment.

I love big ledges/climbs, "impossible" trails, and going very fast offroad. That is my addiction. I am lefthandrubi and I have a problem....

Bye bye frame?

Bye bye frame?

I'm with this thinking? Full tube frame with a JK body dropped over it?

I love watching you spend your money

Lol ya I'm the same way. I've been in the rock crawling/desert scene since i was a baby so its not even really an addiction for me, its my lifestyle. I spent the first 18 Thanksgivings of my life in the sand dunes lol, those were the days. Now I'm bringing up my kids to be the same way. My daughter loves the desert, Jeeps, and motorcycles, she is getting her first quad this xmas, i can't wait! Lol
