This is by far the best walk around video of all time. You explained everything about your rig and why. Everything is purpose built and done right. You didn't get tangled in technical jargon, you didn't dumb it down. You just spoke about it honestly and straight forward. What a fantastic machine. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This Jeep is my favorite Jeep I’ve ever seen. Just everything about it is exactly what I would do to mine if I had an LJ. It’s just an absolute badass! 16” of travel all around, with coilovers and triple bypasses! The bulletproof axle builds with an awesome suspension. Beautiful cage, beautiful seats, exterior is simple but badass. Just an awesome build man. Seriously. The best I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for seeing the beauty of it! I’d love more power and having an LS would open up a whole new world of possibilities pushing the limits of my driving. But... I kept it stock for the simple reason of CA smog/registration. I drive it on the street all the time and I didn’t want to worry about how the register it every other year. As it sites right now, it can pass smog anywhere I take it! It’s actually funny to see the faces at the smog shop when I pull up. 😂

It really was a team effort. I started building the axles in my garage and collecting parts for years but when it finally came down to actually doing it, I was going to need more help and space. The guys at Camp Rock Fabrication really helped me pull this whole thing together! Clint is an amazing fabricator. He lead the charge on that side of the build and Marc was instrumental in sourcing parts and company connections. 🤙😁

Full hydro it’s ideal on the street but it’s totally manageable. I wouldn’t want to do long road trips with it but in my opinion it’s fine for crewing around town and a quick blast down the highway. That being said, what you give up on the street you gain off-road! I love full hydro in the rocks!!! If I remember right... I changed to a PSC 180 2.5 turn. (Not positive on the 180 number.) lt’s either what I had or what I switched to.🤦‍♂️
