For folks running beadlocks, do you keep a second set of non-deadlock wheels for when you're driving longer distances on the road? Recognizing that beadlocks are not DOT approved, my assumption is an insurance claim could be denied in the event of an accident.

Beautiful builds! what do you mean by converted?

Looks great! Also, what rear bumper is that?

After recently jumping back into the TJ game, I would love to see yall's wheel and tire set up for inspiration. Coming from the Toyota world and having spent probably too much time discussing size, offset, style, strength and weight of 6x139.7 wheels, I am excited to pivot to 5x4.5. Options...

All great feedback! While I haven't spent a ton of time under a TJ, Ive been in the Toyota game for a long time. My most recent 1st gen Tundra build took a year and hundreds of hours trying something, then tweaking it and trying again. I went through several suspension set ups and ultimately...

I’m not sure what the rarest color is, but they only made 212 Inca Gold Rubicons and the color was only available in 2003, so that’s pretty darn rare!

These are both killer looking rigs!

Yeah the mid travel may be overkill and the 32 hour install time seems crazy. The short arm kit I can install in my garage fairly easily since it doesn't require any welding. That may be the best approach. But geez, their short arm kit is almost the same price as their mid travel!

Sounds like a blast! This weekend I am on kid duty while my wife is traveling. But next time, count me in!

Hey Gang! 5 years ago I sold my Inca Gold 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and I have missed it ever since. Ive owned a lot of vehicles, but always felt like this one was the one that got away. I sold my 2024 JLUR because I just could get on with the massive screen and other unnecessary tech and...

Just ordered a endoscope on amazon for $30 to bore scope the frame so I can see the inside

I’m always take for a trip. You have a link? I’m fine buying a none rubi and doing an axle swap. Sounds more fun than chasing down rust issues.

I had a few first Gen Tacomas and all I did was chase the never ending rust issues. I really don’t want to do that again. Wire wheeling the frame once and painting it is easy enough. It’s just not something I want to do yearly. For additional context, it’s an LJR with 79k miles. 6 speed with...

Yes I know it was garage kept up until 2 winters ago.

Hi team! Looking at picking up a 2005 LJR that’s located in Kansas City. I swore to myself I wouldn’t by another Jeep was the north (or Midwest) after finding a hole in the frame of my old TJ, but these Jeeps are getting harder to find and it’s a pretty good deal. I’m 7 hours away from the...

How many miles?

How many miles?

Love all the encouragement folks. Alright, I’m gonna go check it out. It’s 22k and has 70k miles, but it’s got about 20k worth of work and is frankly one of the nicest looking LJs I’ve ever seen. I’ll check the inside of the frame, for sure. Maybe I’ll see if he will let me drop the belly pan...

Looking at buying an LJ with low mileage. I found one that’s 4 hours away and asked the owner to send me pictures of the frame. It seems to be a fair price, but when I pulled the carfax, the Jeep spent most of its life in New York. he assures me there is no rust. The angle of some of the...

Agreed. Thats a whole lot of ugly. Yeah, this thing needs and deserves full skids underneath it. As pointed out in another post, it almost looks like the frame has a slight arc upwards in the middle. The body mount is crooked. Something feels fishy to me.
