How Many of Us Really Wheel Your Jeep??

I was waiting for someone to comment about the rock "parking place". That is a great picture!!!!!

Thanks man. The L134 is fitted with TBI, dual master cylinder and big drum brakes. rear diff is a Dana 44 Full Floater 30 spline, new 5:13 R&P and a Lock Right in a new HD carrier. The Front is a 27 with a HD carrier and lock right. TC is a T18 w/a 4:1 kit. Trans is rebuilt stock. The lift consists of 2.5 springs, plus a set of shackles I built for rear (kept bending them) 33” Alturo’s on 16X8 steel wheels (running 10 lbs) tire carrier I built with my tubing skills. I believe that’s the most of it. 

to each his own. Personally I can't imagine spending the money and time on theses jeeps if they weren't used to their potential. If it's a worry about the strength then maybe it's more of neglect than what the vehicle can handle. The road can be just as hard or harder than off road. 30-45mph compared to 5-10mph off road. As slow as possible, as fast as necessary is nothing when you're keeping up with traffic. There are limits to my off road use but my jeep is a little beefier than stock jeeps. I spent the time and money on mine that I did so it could handle the daily drive as well as off road use. It's unimaginable for me to build a jeep and then not trust it off road or be worried about a scratch / dent. They're badges of honor. I don't have or want a trophy for my jeep. My awards are won without a placing number. If it's a Jeep like Jerry's 45 or Bill Reese's Norm I understand as they're basically 100% orig. although Norm sees way more than his fair share of jeeping. 

she looks at peace out there! Nice pics

Maybe some day I'll get another jeep to have some "rough" times with. :) I totally understand and respect this, but I bet Woody stills cries a little at night in the garage by himself.  "Does he think I'm not tough enough? Does he think I'm too old?"  I love Woody and the great care  you take of  him.

No 4 to 1 kits avail, but Tera Low makes kits for D18, just need a D20 empty case to stuff the gears into.

Looks like you can get 4.86 to 1 in a heavily modified housing. We are talking a lot of machine work and welding. Price probably close to purchasing an Atlas t-case.
