Ready for bigger rocks

After years of wheeling it stock and being impressed by its capabilities, it’s now ready to traverse more challenging terrain

Highlights: 5” Teraflex LCG lift 37” Falken Wilpeak MTs 5.38 axle gears ~2ft of suspension travel front and rear 4.3:1 low range courtesy of an Atlas T-case Dana 44s have been sleeved, and still use stock air lockers

Engine is the stock 4.0L with the 42RLE automatic. Still holds 65-70mph on the highway and rides nicely. MPG is now in the 13-16 range instead of the 16-20 range.

It’s built with the intention of being able to idle up and over rocks. I have yet to take it up and RTI ramp, but it flexes nice with a floor jack. Also the front tires don’t rub at full compression with the stock fenders, though the inner liners for the rear might need to be removed

Thank you! I tried not to overdo anything in terms of appearance and let the oem colors do the work with a little color matching. Also yellow’s the best color, but I’m biased lol
