Looking to upgrade the radiator to something a bit bigger and more efficient. I am assuming that at least one or two of you have gone down this path.

Going larger with tire size will impact towing weight. If I use the 10% rule ( 10% weight on the tongue) you are pulling a 6000# trailer. Going bigger will hurt towing performance. I would be more concerned about gearing going bigger with tires. YOU should be able to run a P metric 35 without...

Things to check: - Are the new tires out of round? simply jack up the rig until you can see under the tire. Use a socket as a gauge under the tire and rotate it by hand. If it is out of round replace the tire. - Are the wheels true? Did the shop bend a wheel during installation? - Is the...

@WILDHOBO Going to a long arm Artec on my JTRD, then looking at upgrading the Rear D60 and Built from Adventek 210. I can make a package deal on the axles, suspension and if you want a set of BFG 39 and wheels. Shock too if you like. Will deliver for the cost of fuel from VA to CO...

You could run JK or JL/JT axles with a 5 or 5.5 inch backspace wheel and have a great track width and keep all close to the body. Then again a little sheet metal work and those fenders could be stretched enough to mostly cover the width of wide tires and axles.

With an old rig like that make sure to box the frame. if you are upgrading the engine. Weight and torque are not you friend with an old flexible frame. If you go the leaf spring route, check out Deaver springs and look into slipper boxes for more actuation. Swap the front shackle to the...

Take some better lines to keep the rear off the rocks:rock:. Ran the Rubicon last year with mine and only tagged the rear bumper a couple times. A little black paint and it is all good.

Rattle Wagon is my 2021 JTRD. In May I strip the OEM suspension off and install a Artec Long arm system with coilover shocks. Then return to daily duties commuting to the Pentagon from NN VA.

We are just startign out with Skeletor ourselves. Start with what size tire do you want to run. That will lead to how wide teh axles need to be to get a decent wheel cut (steering). From there sounds like you want to go 4 link. TMR, BArns ARTEC Motobilt all have frame or universal 4 link...

Have one of these on my JT https://nextventuremotorsports.com/collections/jeep-gladiator-jt-bumpers/products/jt-aluminum-rear-bumper-featherweight-series

Some pix of the rear 4 link build.

Posting for the owner who started out wanting something different. After a few years of looking at XJs we came across a Jeep J10 stretched to a super cab with a shortened bed. To make this a bit more different the Back of the cab is the back of a Wagoneer with a forward facing slope. Details...

Picts posted. Techniclly the J10 is a Gladiator so maybe I can post some progress short here.

The project I am working on is a 1980 J10 shell. We Have: - A Frame - Set of 05 Super duty axles 60 /10.50 - A front clip - A cab gutted save the dashboard (Steel) slightly modified to be a cab and a half. - A bed shortened with almost no floor. Pulled the leaf springs and the Chevy 60s...
