4DR JK + 12V cummins + Dana 60/70 Portals + 44" Tires

Just thought I would share this build here that is being done by MBRP Exhaust in Canada.

Interesting track bar mount to say the least. Should get some really nice bump steer with that.

 

[ChestonScout]

Those are just 44" tires tho. Thats the biggest the Pitbull Rockers come in........for now

 

[skippy]

Post#523 good plug for Summit Machine!

 

[Bart]

Not sure how much they would really care about road manners with that monster.

 

[I Lean]

There won't be any bump steer, since the panhard and drag link appear to be the same length and same angle. I'd worry more about bending the bent panhard, but as long as that holds up....all good.

Just gigantic.

 

[Cascadia]

The axles don't even look full width cause it's 10' tall.:sick:

 

[Max Power]

It's always cool to see something different. I wonder how stiff the suspension is to support that 12 valve.

 

[Tacoma]

If that suspension is tuned for the weight, it might not be very stiff at all.

I feel really bad for those kingpins though. Poor lil' dears, they are going to weep with those huge tires, steel double beadlocks, and portals.


Interesting build though.

 

[SAMI]

That thing is stupid tall.

 

[Herzog]

That thing is stupid tall.

Cool project but it would be much more functional if they knocked about 24" out of the suspension.

I saw this one at AEV two years ago in Missoula

They took a Dodge truck and mated the frame to the JK body. This thing was huge too but it looked much more stable then this white one

 

[Gravy]

sooo tall! but the fabwork is clean

Obviously built more for deep mud than rock crawling!

Joe, try posting a link on JK-Fourm back to rme4X4.com. See how long that will last. That place is a cancer to the off road community.

I've heard they are pretty bad about that kind of stuff.

Since that's against the rules, I won't be doing that. FYI there's some new pics on this build up now.

I usually do not get involved in this stuff because both sites have good info and good people. But if you want some funny reading you should check out this thread.
