The Vagillionaire Build
- Thread starter skippy
- Start date
For being built in 3 weeks this rig really surprised me! after wheeling it hard all week at EJS I am going to lift it another 2 inches and add hydro assist. I got myself into a couple crappy situations because I couldnt steer once the front end was locked. Once the hydro assist is on there and the new springs this rig will be in my stable for awhile with no immediate plans of selling it.
And all you 4.7 V8 haters can suck it the V8 kicked some serious ass and gave me all the woopow I could ask for.

That turned out bad ass. Nice job.
Sorry if I missed this or if you have answered already but what gearing did you go with for those 37's?

I am running 5.13s and from a dead stop it will light up the 37s on pavement. Still does 80mph

Nobody here talked crap about a running 4.7 V8... (at least I don't think so - I didn't look.
)
Anyways, that is one sexy grocery-gettin' mom-ride!

You can build my JK into a V8 powered Jeep on 40's if you want! Then I will let you use it whenever you want...

I love it! It looks awesome. I would love to get one like that, it makes my dreams of 4 runners go away!

Looks amazing, man. Apart from a few on-trail revelations, sounds like a stupid capable rig. Glad it ran well for you. Makes my 3" lift and 32s look sad...

Any pictorial tours of the front suspension?
Just boring old radius arms. I'll see if I have any pics. Heaven knows Ryan doesn't

Like Rubicon Express long arm style or Early Bronco bushing style?
More like rubicon express. He has coil buckets with the link brackets built in. Long lower arms but the uppers are fairly short. It works
Since the link brackets are built in one piece there's no triangulation like other Jeep systems. Since there's a tracbar it's not like that's necessary anyways
Hey Marc, for you I will make sure I get some pictures!!!!
