Grey Bartac seat covers, receiver hitch, and Tomken winch plate in the greater Nashville area. $200 for everything.

Never really tracked it. I will. Pre gears I did for a while with Fuelly and averaged 12.5mpg. ETA: had ARB's put in while they were in there. I also endorse cheat switches.

5.13’s is the best advice I’ve received here. Do it. Seriously. It’s awesome. (Also 04 LJ on 33’s)

Update: 35's and larger will go towards the Toyota money pit. RCV's on order with my shop and put in an order with Mr. Blaine for the 15" kit just now. I do like my 33x10.5's and decided a D or E load could be overkill and to stick with C loads.

correct. If I'd go the distance to swap axles, then that's pandora's box and might as well go whole hog. Not looking to jump off the cliff yet.

It's mostly east coast Appalachian trails we are on so at best we're cruising at 15-20mph, nothing fast. Majority of the track is actually the Daniel Boone Backcoutry Byway, navigation and meeting the "par time" for the stage/course is far more important than speed. Lots of this: and some...

The unsprung weight is significant by 15-20lb per tire

realistically no, IMO. I'd love a nth degree diff skid for the rear (unobtanium) and need to see what front diff covers work with the currie steering setup. As far a the hangups go, it's mostly due to the fact we're chasing a sea of JK's, 80/100 series LC's on 35 - 40's, so the ruts on...

So a year later into the LJ project I've made some progress on what I considered my "build sheet". The few times it's been out on dirt it has done extremely well - notably the 3 day Red Clay Rally this past fall. At the end of the day I'd wager the Rally will be the hardest this is pushed on an...

I'd actually like those in the back. Would be useful in the hills.

Fender details please. Slick ride

Correct, should of been more specific. flexy suspension + lockers + 33's = low speed traction machine. I avoid wheel spin on things when I can now, why I love locking it up on the big obstacles.

I passed several JK’s on 37’s during the Red Clay Rally. In fact I shocked myself at what a savvy set up with 5.13’s and a pair of ARB’s will do. They spun all over stuff I just billy goated over. I keep thinking I need to go to 35’s but can’t really justify why. My LJ loves it’s...
