last payment on my 2021 is set to auto pay next month
(RIP to diesels and 0% financing)
The Jeep has been ultra reliable, seen several thousand miles off road and about 8000 miles of cross country trips. fantastic fuel mileage for what it is.
Couple check engine lights that turned out to be nothing and one replaced drivers seat.
something's going on with the rear axle, rear driveshaft is toast, ive needed a front driveshaft all along it's just managed to survive and due to the wheel spacers and abuse, ive been through 3 sets of ball joints and unit bearings just started making some noise.
all in all for what ive asked of it, I have zero complaints.

here's where we are today. 41XXX miles. 4" rusty's diesel advanced kit. 39" KM3s due for replacement sooner than later. stock gearing, stock steering, stock underbelly skids that have really been put to use and 3rd factory plastic rear bumper since ive gotten them for free.



EDIT: suspension, axles, wheels, tires, rock rails and bumpers have been chosen. thanks for the inputs and DMs everyone!

TIA

Sounds like everything below the frame is going to change with your build. I have zero input but look forward to your updates and progress

Have you considered Currie for axles?

All I have to say is I’m jealous.

The time and miles spent in the dirt, the paint color, the paid off hack, the loose coin to upgrade even further.

I’m jealous and look forward to following your upgrades.

@TheSolarWizard i think you should get ahold of @TTEChris because he has done a couple beautiful big rigs

Sounds like you are pretty convinced on what you want but just a thought. My local shop runs this on all their jeep builds and I plan on doing it to mine in the next month. They run the stock Dana 44 but upgrade to RCV Axles which have a lifetime warranty up to 43 inch tires and then do a ball joint delete. They also upgrade the knuckles but since you have a diesel you already have upgraded knuckles. So far they have not had any issues and they have been doing it on all their builds for years. Just a thought.
