Jeep Crawler Bench Build

[TRD270]

Well hadn’t seen this in my previous browsing.

One for @Agility Customs

Think it’s sitting a bit high for my taste, have to do some research on the stretch kit. Price is right

I say build your JL. Get the new front housing from Teraflex, add gears, locker, and shafts. Then add 37’s and a little stretch. Wheel all day and drive it home.

What’s this new Tera housing you speak of?

I think that LJ would be cheaper than this plan

It could be, but the LJ doesn’t have that sweet beeping option. 😂.

Why no love for the JK? A rubicon JK can be had for 10-20k and you’ll have less beeps.

I’m in the same boat debsting buy a JLUR, JKUR, or LJ.

It seems like the JK always gets passed over, but I’ve seen some amazing builds with them.

This is the one I’ve been eyeballing hard. Hope the price would come down a bit. Has some good parts but the price tax is a bit steep on it IMO

And honestly probably a little more built than I want. See 2wd everywhere remark

So I went through the parts list on this and it adds up to about 9.5k. Been watching LJ's for a while and stock or mostly stock ones have been selling in the 11-12k range. So basically getting some labor for free. Don't think it's the best deal. Bone stock one for sale right now that looked like grandpa owned it that I'm now eyeballing.

Thinking grandpa's jeep with less spring long arm might be the ticket.

Leafs have lots of limitations, long arms and coil springs with quality shocks would ride and work so much better, on road and off. My JKU on longarms rode AMAZING, and the old TJ I built with a LJ longarm worked killer offroad.

Nothing listed. I’ll see if I can get a number or something if you want?

Well option one of building up the beeper appears to be leaving the table. The JL is the only joint vehicle in the fleet and the wife likes how it drives now. So I’m limited to not messing with much on it or basically got approval for another rig.

Someday I'll have to sell my TJ...
