I'll be right back..... I need to go clean up....

 

This is SICK as usual Kenny. Well done...

RC

 

not sure on the colour, dont' do it for me... but overall i like the rest of the build. are those bumpers going to be a item you can buy off the shelf.

 

so, uh... when will that front bumper be available to order on the river raider website ?

 

Not bad, would of been better if was black

 

Wow, that's insane.

 

So with the Chevy engine obvisouly the computer will not work i am curious of what electronics will or will not work in the JK.

ABS brakes
Lights
AC
Heater etc etc

 

Can you get a ton of pics of how you are recessing the winch when the time comes? This thing is sick.

 

Yukon came through Big...

Over $5K in parts....

 

Agh yes, the Grizz locker, verrry niiiice. You owe me one hot Cali girl, preferably of latin decent, for the axle recommendation

 

The " Rockster" is finnally heading out west! Actually, it looks awesome without the soft top on it! Kenny did a great job with the cage! Twisted Stitch will be redoing the top when it gets to Cali!

It has a 2.5" Long Arm System with 3.5" of stretch. We are actually planning on on offering this as a production system for 2 doors at a 2.5" and 3.5" lift height. The frame has been cleaned up from its years of travel on the East Coast!

Here are a few images of it back on the stock tires and wheels! Once it gets out west it is going to Todd and The Jeep Speed Shop where a dana 60 front and Corp 14 bolt rear will be slid underneath it. Poly Performance is welding on all the axle brackets so the old school axles will bolt right up. RWK Haus Supply is building the axles stuffed with High Quality Yukon Products.

While at the Jeep Speed Shop an LS engine swap will also take place! By the Time it leaves the Jeep Speed Shop it will be on Race Line Wheels and 40" Tires!

The Rockster is missing shocks and bumps for now! Fox shocks and air bumps will be installed to handle the dampening duties and control the high speed up travel of the massive 40's and heavy axles. Stay tuned for final assembly pictures. The "Rockster" will also be in our booth at the Pomona Offroad Expo with the Top Off unless it is raining.

Great Work Kenny! Now it is off to the next phase! Good Luck to Todd at Jeep Speed Shop and the rest of the guys finnishing up the "Rockster"

We are actually planning on on offering this as a production system for 2 doors at a 2.5" and 3.5" lift height.

That sounds perfect. I don't forsee going bigger than 35s on my 2 door build (keep it interesting) so the 2.5" stretch kit would be a nice fit. I'm looking forward to this development!

Damn this Jeep is so bad ass! I think I'm going to need one

How soon will you guys be offering that lift kit for the 2-door? Will there be an upgrade kit as well say if I can wait and end up getting one of your other suspension systems and then end up wanting to go to this?

 

sweet!!!!!!

thats a perfect stance cant wait to see some big rubber on that bad boy and flex it out!

 

i don't know why... maybe it's the roof... but that reminds me of one of these

 

With the Top Off, the Rockster looks completely bad ass....

RK

 

Looks sweet. Very nice guys!!!

 

daaaaaamn

 

I think they're going to rub a little.

 

The tires and wheels are ready for the JK in Cali!

Raceline sent in a set of 20x10 Predator wheels and Nitto sent in a set of 40x20 Mud Grappler's. Once these are on the Rockster, it will be bad a--!

Very nice work!

 

This may be a stupid question but is this rig being built for the SEMA show?

 

Never a stupid question but it will be released @ the Pomona Offroad expo then off to Sema with another River Raider Offroad vehicle build too.

 

Went to Poly and picked up the axle's today,

Thanks GOAT1 for your talent to the axles, here are a few pic's of the front

Special thanks to the guys @ West Texas Offroad for the swweeeeeeeettt hydro assist steering set up

Tomorrow RWK Haus Supply is going to assemble the Yukon parts, then on Mon or Tues when the JK arrives its off to the guys @ Jeep Speed Shop.

Haven't got the rear pic's yet but it looks great,

Thanks again Drew

 

Rear rough pic's are here now,

Rear is a 14 bolt Corporate GM axle with Disc brakes, and the Front is from a Ford Dana 60 high pinion drivers side drop with King pin's.

Both should hold up to the 400+ HP and the 40" tires.

Also I was told that the axle truss is a proto type, per GOAT1 also they milled the extra 1" off the lower part of the housing.

I was told if it were to be ground it would have taken approx 3 hours to remove the metal that Drew milled off.

Did I say thanks for that too.

 

Anyone wanna cut a deal on a really nice front axle....Sitting all alone in my paint shop. right now...Puddz will never miss it.
