It's Time to SUPERSIZE Moby - MoTech 6.2L LS Jeep Motor Swap
- Thread starter CarsonCindy
- Start date
Hard to say for sure, I would imagine so but a lot would depend on how long everything is and where the t-case will ultimately sit when all is said and done.
What he said, pull the body to make the install of the new motor and tranny easier.
LOL!! Glad to make your day at work more fun
:cheesy: Oh yeah, that's what we're doing :crazyeyes:
What Skid_kid said, they make the raising of the body tougher. We'll re-install them once everything is done. :yup:
Actually, we're keeping Moby's wheels and tires and will be handing them down to Rubicat. :yup:
As mentioned, we're switching our bolt pattern to 8-lug and unfortunately, ATX does not make a 20" wheel in that bolt pattern. So, we are stepping down to a 17" wheel and needed new tires to go with them.
The plan is to hand down Moby's rear 60 to Rubicat and eventually get a 60 up front as well.

New atxs for Moby? I like it I like it. Are you sticking with the white trim? I think that's just the icing on the cake for Mobys appearance.

So Moby will be 60 front and 80 rear while CAT will be stock 44 front and PR60 rear? You worried about running the 40s on cat with the stock 44 up front?
Though I guess in thinking ahead, you wont need/want to run CAT as hard once Moby is all fixed up. So while on 40s, you wont be wheeling too hard on the rocks where/when most damage would occur. LOL, guess I answered my question. Nevermind. :crazyeyes: :cheesy:

If i can put in my 2 cents. Maybe they arn't going to put the 40's on Rubicat until they have a 60 for up front. They can't add the rear 60 to Rubicat or they'll have to regear the front and if i have oearned anything about Eddie and Cindy its they do very well to plan ahead.
