    Shes getting her rock sliders repowdercoated! I was lucky enough to find the AEV ones that ARB made for them that came as a factory option. She only comes out on nice days now.

    Exactly what I'm going to do. The factory TJ Rubicon platform is quite capable. I've spent more in appearance things than I have in actual performance. As I've grown to learn what I need and dont need the jeep build has changed. I could have cut corners here and there but I didn't want to spare...

    I had 315/75R16 KO2s, it lugged bad on the highway. It comes from the factory underpowered if it has the 42RLE Automatic transmission. 4.88s shouldve been the factory gearing since the OD of that transmission is .69.

    Yeah all the modifications I've put on are high quality. I dont plan on ever cutting her up or anything. Just maintain and preserve. Thank you!

    I believe when I purchased the Safari tank it was $1500, now its $2000!! I've camped with the LJ once and I loved it. This year I've been repairing wearing bits here and there. She no longer sees daily duty so I'm able to slow the mileage and wear down to the weekends only. Exhaust Manifold is...

    I love the Safari tank! My favorite modification besides the ARB Twin Air Compressor. Once I get the regear done I should be able to get 450-500 miles out of a full tank of fuel. Now with 35s and the 4.10 gears I get 320 miles out of a full tank.

    Expo LJR Update

    Hello everyone! The LJ is currently being regeared by a friend of mine who also installed my air compressor and Genright Safari Gas tank. So far this year I've had to replace the O2 Sensors. Exhaust manifold is cracked and needs to be replaced as well as my entire exhaust. Transmission cooler is...

    Just wanted to post this here

    Funny how this post comes up, as I'm thinking about getting rid of my 06 LJ for an 80 or 100 series. People think I'm crazy for wanting to get something older than what I have.

    The jeep hasnt crossed deep water, I want the snorkel for more engine longevity and cleaner and cooler air. Shes rust free and I'd like to keep her that way haha.

    Expo LJR Update

    Good Evening everyone, thought I'd post an update as to how my jeep build is going. Next on the build is a regear from my factory Automatic transmission 4.10 gears to 5.13s to get my LJ back into the power and efficiency band I had before modifying everything. Then I will upgrade the control...

    Let's see your LJ's!

    Here's my 2006 LJ Rubicon, currently has 71k on the clock with 35s and a bunch of other mods that I added. Went to Missouri this year for an overlanding trip! Might sell her soon though :sadface:

    Overloaded 2005 Wrangler unlimited

    My Jeep LJ has the OME 400lb static load 2.5" springs with 35s and a 1.25" Body lift. I have the ARB Rear Bumper and tire carrier, 32 Gallon Genright Safari Gas tank and an 80lb Tuffy Rear drawer. Springs have held up fine and the jeep still has the "rake"

    2006 Jeep LJR Safari/expedition build

    I have the ARB built ones sold by AEV as a dealer installed package. They bolt right into the factory rubicon slider holes. Debate is still up if Ill pull the trigger on some Nth degree skid plates or not. The ARBs alone Ill be fine but the overall build would look classier/more traditional if...
