A Simple Build

[Wildman]

I have the universal kit..... I have a CRD 60 in the rear.

Have a look under the a vehicle with the Nth, it's about as flat as can be.

@Daryl, got any photos of yours to show him how flat it is?

Sure, here’s one.

Also, opinions on some good looking 15" wheels?

The ones that are on it aren't bad, but I'm not sure I like the style all that much.

I’ve been trying to buy new wheels for my Jeep for 2 years. I can’t find any I like that aren’t $3k beadlocks.


Good luck with the new Jeep. Definitely not what I would have expected... but should be fun.

Raceline is having a 15% off sale on their beadlocks right now.

Following to watch you spend your money. My nearly bolt in hydro assist last pieces just arrived from PSC and my rubicrawler is scheduled for delivery Thursday so I’m going to be busy soon too.

Seems like everyone is busy these days. Crazy on here right now. Maybe it’s Spring fever or something

Garage was too cold all winter and now stuck at home with Internet access.

Awesome TJ, I can’t wrap my head around how cheap that house is, congrats!

very nice, about time.

I like this jeep. Looking forward to seeing it in your driveway! Nice to know it's already sorted without vibes. Looks like the previous owner took great care of it

Debating on whether I actually need beadlocks or not, that's the issue.

Way cheaper than they are in Canada, eh?

He did indeed. Pretty cool that it has only had 2 previous owners. You'd expect more with the miles, but he told me the only reason at all the miles are so high is because he used to drive it to Moab all the time. That's a long damn drive!

REALLY??? Are you going to play on the rocks??? Then the answer is YES.

Do you think beadlocks are a must for places like Moab? I see so many of those guys wheel without them, I just assumed it was 50/50.

Any idea what the actual miles are? The 4.0 that was put in had 50k on it in 2005 I think when it was done.

IMHO if you are going to drop your air pressure below 12 PSI yes. But I am in the OVERBUILD side of things. I ran without beadlocks for years. And popped a bead maybe 4 times.

No, it was a brand new engine. It has 50k miles on it since being installed in 2015 (the engine) is what he said. The way I said it may have made it confusing. 50k on the engine, 200k on the body.

Well, I am indeed on the "overbuild" side of things, so I may need to think about my wheel choice more carefully. I have plenty of time at least

Gotcha so it’s only 5 years old. So maybe most likely 75-100k on the motor then currently.

No, the engine has roughly 50k on it right now.

He had the engine installed with zero miles on it in 2015. As of 2020, the engine has roughly 50k miles on it, since he had the new engine installed at 150k.

Make sense?

I was reading his listing and I was reading it like it was a 2006 4.0 installed with 50k miles back in 2015. As in it was a used motor put in with 50k miles

Is this what he told you, Chris? Because the way his AD reads from 2019 and 2018, it sounds like he installed a used 2006 4.0 with 50000 miles on it in 2015.

"2006 4.0L w/ 50k miles installed in 2015"

Plus did he tell you what gears are in it? Is listing is really vague and confusing.
