More current pic from September, I blew up my Dana 30 r&p in this pic

In the next month or so I plan on installing my new front axle, mounting my roof top tent, doing some body work, mounting my new beadlocks(the Walker Evans streetlocks in the one pic are for sale for cheap)and building a storage container for the rear for my ARB fridge, tools, Tuffy underseat box, and put a small seat back there too.

Nice rig! Good to hear from you. It's easy to see that you've invested some real coin and a fair amount of your time in this rig. Have you had issues with broken axles that you have decided to run such a large axle arrangement, or are you one who likes to overbuild to keep from breaking?
Having a Mombasa RTT myself and the Engel, I'd say your well on your way to convencing yourself to build an Offroad-trailer or buy an AT.:archaeolo
 
Running a TJ myself, I could not imagine the EZ Awn tent (that I have mounted on my Horizon trailer) mounted instead on top of my rig and still finding it fun to drive. Nice rig but I'd say you would be better off concentrating your goodies into your future off-road trailer rather than trying to cram them into or onto your TJ.
 
thanks guys, because this currently my daily driver i chose to go with over kill axles just for the safety factor they give me when i go offroad. I plan on building my trailer this summer, ill either buy a cheap utility trailer off craigslist or 1 from harbor freight or just build my own.

nothing wrong with Dana 60's on a TJ, maybe not as cool as the hybrid 609's but very dependable, I run 5.13 gears however.

Now that's a picture of a real Jeeper. Out at the off-road park, flat on his back under the vehicle trying to figure out what the heck broke this time. :)

I'm still waiting to run in to OS-Aussie's rig at the gym sometime, or see him running down the road like the rest of us on a rainy day with the top left at home!

Good luck with those goals

Gym, not likely :confused:
Rain, needs to happen :exclaim: And for me not to be in my Cherokee

You could just attend a Lone Star Jeep Club monthly Plano Sonic meeting ......... :lurk:
