Every once in a while I come back to this thread to see if you have done anything new. Love this build.

 

Did you ever get the Method 105's?

If so, I would like to take a chance at getting the NV's if your looking to pass them on...!

Thanks!

 

I love this jeep build! Wishing we had a place like rebel around North Dakota. Always seem to be doing good work

 

Well I have been slacking a bit on this Build Thread but I figured now would be a good time to bring it up to date. Not much has changed with the Jeep but i've been having some fun with it out in Big Bear, The Rubicon Trail, Calico, Etc...

The major thing that has changed is my tires. I took off the 38" Falken Tires and went with a bit of an upgrade...40x13.5x17 Toyo Open Country M/T's. Jeep drives 100x better down the highway with these new Toyo's.


And here is a little flex/tire clearance with the new 40's


Everything was going well until...


Rock Krawler Rear Track Bar Bracket Broke going around a turn. Luckily I was close to home and nothing else was damaged


Big thanks to Rebel Off Road and Taylor for their great customer service and support, as always. They were able to get me a new Artec Industries Rear Track Bar Bracket and Josh, the lead tech, stayed late to grind off the old and burn on the new bracket. They were able to get my Jeep back on the road in just a few hours.


And finally, here are a few photos, one is of my girlfriend and I camping out at Holcomb Valley a couple months back, and the other was just a couple weeks ago while out exploring some of the many trails in Calico, CA

 

Why do the new tires make it drive better? What was wrong with the Falkens? You still working at Rebel?

 

The Falkens I was running were a non DOT race tire and were not meant for street driving. Off road, they performed excellent and I loved how sticky they were, crawled up everything
