So noone has asked this yet. Don't get me wrong Rubicat is a great vehicle but how did you decide who got to drive Moby home, it couldn't have been as simple as paper covering rock. :lol:

Oh and is Rubicat going to get Moby's old tire/wheel combo as well when you put the old pr60 under it? Do you feel comfortable pushing 40" mud grapplers with a pr44?

I think cab overs may even be a little more aerodynamic than Jeeps :bleh:

Truly awesome. Could only imagine the fun it would be to have a 6.2L LS in a Jeep! What is going to be the first trail Moby sees?

 

[redpatchjeff]

Looks great! I'm sure it sounds fantastic.

 

[Hock Edition]

What an amazing jeep you have

 

[JaySC]

Awesome, awesome jeep...I wonder what Freud would say about my jeep envy.

Man 11 mpg. figured you'd of been around 18, really not any better than the hemi conversion minus the overheating issue. And speaking of V-8 power took the kids sledding tonight, and had a guy ask me if I had a V-8 , just chuckled and said I wish, gotta love the way the dynomax exhaust sounds seems to me that it growls more when it's 18° out.

It's funny, people always ask what's under my hood. I tell them a K&N and our muffler out back. :beer:

Congrats guys, glad to see Moby up and running, and can't wait to see him staring in his next vid!:clap2:

How are the 5.38's with the setup? Think it's a perfect gear for the LS3 and 680 or would you prefer to go lower?

 

[1BAMFR]

Fuck this...I'm buying 40's and F/R 60's!!!!!!!!!

I know a few of you have been waiting for the report from our drive home and so here you go. After picking up Moby from Off Road Evolution on Friday, we drove out to the SoCal Suds-n-Grub on Saturday and had a great time catching up with the WAYALIFE crew. How was the drive you might ask? Simply AMAZING!! Moby was always a great Jeep but with a 6.2L LS pushing 400+ HP, it's truly become a monster worth of it's name.

Here's an awesome shot that Krieger took of Moby at the Suds...

The next morning Cindy and I started the long drive back up to Carson City with her in Moby and me in RubiCAT...

As you can imagine, Moby was pretty damn thirsty...

Oh, and did I mention that Moby now prefers the finer things in life...

Truth be told, Moby's MPG wasn't really all that bad. Sure it isn't stellar but, we did still manage to get about 11 MPG and that's with us driving the way we always do In reality, it really isn't all that different from what we were seeing with our old 3.8L but of course, we now have a TON MORE power!!

Here's a stop we made along the way to say hello to Moochie's favorite Uniroyal Gal

Imagine that, an abandoned air strip - shall we race?

As if there was any doubt - Moby smoked RubiCAT :crazyeyes:

Here are a Hi-res poser shots of Moby that we took while we were out there...

It's good to be home!!

All in all, the drive home went smoothly and without a single hitch. Granted, it was on the cool side the whole way up but, there were still some long steep grades we had to take on and we were happy to see the temp gauge stay dead center the whole way. In fact, I don't think Moby ever broke a sweat once and was able to cruise up them at about 2800 RPM - Rubicat was pusing 4000+ the whole way up.

Anyway, we'll try to get some under the hood shots up tomorrow and if at all possible, some sound clips as soon as we can.

Let's see a family picture!

Just curious I don't know if I missed anything but have you done anything for skid plates now having the new motor?

I would like to see this thing with a white hardtop on.

Mobby looks great very clea:yup:n, nice to see you both made it home safe and with no issues. Mobby's is every jeeper's dream, well it is for me :brows: I know mileage isn't a factor when owning a Jeep but what MPG do you think you got on drive home.:thinking:Oh, forget it I just saw 11 MPG, Really hope you both enjoy Mobby and hope to see you both soon, maybe do a run one day :yup::rock:

 

[BlackDiamondBound]

LOL!! Yeah, I posted about it on the other thread. But, for those who haven't seen it, it was me who got pulled over in Rubicat and for not having any mud flaps. It was crazy because Cindy was following me in Moby and the cop actually turned on his blinker so that he could squeeze in between us and then light me up.

did this happen near bridgeport? I got a ticket on sat. for no flaps around there. the kicker is I was really good friends with the officers sister, have met his parents, been to his childhood house, friends with all of his high school buddies and he still gave me the ticket! no love

They love to give no mud flap tickets near Bridgeport. Welcome to the club.

Eddie has it already been tuned?

LOL!! I got to drive Moby first and spent the better part of Saturday driving him too so, Cindy drove him all the way home :yup:

Oh and is Rubicat going to get Moby's old tire/wheel combo as well when you put the old pr60 under it? Do you feel comfortable pushing 40" mud grapplers with a pr44?

We hope to take Rubicat down to Off Road Evolution after KOH to get Moby's old PR60 and maybe a few other bells and whistles. Cindy and I have talked about it at length and may stick with 37's.

Truly awesome. Could only imagine the fun it would be to have a 6.2L LS in a Jeep! What is going to be the first trail Moby sees?

Hard to say for sure. We still need to install a good pre-filter on our CAI, do a service on the rear axle, address an annoying serpentine belt squeak and do a general check on things before heading out for anything big. So, we'll most likely take him out in the hills behind our house and then go from there.

How are the 5.38's with the setup? Think it's a perfect gear for the LS3 and 680 or would you prefer to go lower?

Honestly, I think the 5.38's is a great setup.

Currently, we don't have any skid protection and we're still debating whether or not to add any. If we do, it'll have to be custom and mainly to protect a couple of exposed trans cooler lines.

Oh yeah, just south of Bridgeport. :rolleyes2:

Only with what Motech has got it set at.

Eddie,

I am currently having a 6.0/ 6L80E/ atlas installed in my JK sitting on 37s currently i am running 5.38 gears but was planning on changing gears back to a 4.88 or 4.56. Do you think i should stick with the 5.38s or re-gear? also what was the RPM's at highway speeds?
