Rob's 1 ton sport build
Hey jeepers welcome to my going to be very slooow build thread. After being gone from the Jeep world for 4 long years I am back with a 13' sport ready to get things going again. Although it won't be as fast as my last build I had I will try on this one. I'm always at work so that's gonna cut my time getting to do stuff with a schedule of 20 days on 10 off, its gonna be a long while. The whole point to my build is to do it my self with the help of my 5 year old and 3 year old boys to show them a Lil something and learn new things that we can still do when they get older. My wife and I like to go camping and this would be a good thing to take for family vacations to Big bend and Moab. My last build was a brand new 12' JKUR black on black with
•3.5" rk x factor with hd tie rod
•Fox shocks
•Jcr stubby bumber
•Ace sliders
•Evo pro tek skids
•Evo corners and tire carrier
•37x13.50 nitto muds
•Trek top
•swapped out bench with front seats
I had a blast with it in the short time I had but it was ruined by the stealership when I had the infamous "tick". So I got rid of it and regretted it since
. But now I'm back and that's in the past the future is ahead with this one and can't wait. I have so much planned for this. All yalls help and feedback would be much appreciated,). As for now I have been searching and looking day and night for everything I need and want to do with it. So hang in there. But for now here's the plan. It may and can change :
• 1 tons from a Ford already found
•5.38 gears
•Detroit, OX or arb lockers?
• artec truss to bolt in factory jk
•8x6.5 beadlocks either 17 or 20
•40x15.50s
•Evo protek
•Evo 1/2 lb bumper stinger
•Evo sliders skins
•Evo Builder corners
•Tire carrier? not sure yet
•lift ? Not sure long arm or short
•1350 Adams driveshafts
•Rock hard sport cage
•Arb compressor
•Warn zeon 12s winch
•psc ram assist
•rubi tcase or aaa
•rubi sway bar disconnect
Idk what else I could be missing if you see something let me know. The thing I'm torn between is the lift as I do want to run coil overs but also thinking of a spring lift on the set up I want and if so what lift. And on the tire carrier I loved my Evo one I just hated having to open and close it on my last jeep I was thinking of crawler conceptz hinged one. As you know my jeep is a sport with d30 and 44 rear 3.21 gears. And I know I don't need 1 tons or 40s. I kinda just want it so I know I'll be Ok when I do go out on trails and stuff, or should i go another way. Most likely just be mud fest hidden falls since it's an hr away and the beach. Once a year hopefully go out of state and do moab Rausch creek(sister lives near there) and others . I know it might be over kill but I'm trying to figure out what's easier save money for a pr44 and rubi take off rear and run 37s or junkyard axles 800 for both in good condition and do it myself piece by piece not all spent at once. Again any feedback or advice is appreciated.
