Rusty's Nismo Journal

Nice. Congrats.

Don’t forget

37-40s should run hydro assist. So psc setup.

38-40s should run 60s or 60/14b ff.

Driveshafts

If you go over 37s, the transfer case can get finicky but iirc there’s a flash for it.

Atlas II or IV not yet a available but I’m sure it’s coming. Pure mechanical tc doesn’t play well with the electrics unlike jk’s.

Love those gladiators, but remember 8 lugs are always cooler than 5.

This is going to be a slow build. Fixed income.
I think 37's. General MT's.

PSC doesn't have anything yet for the diesel.

RCV axles for the Dana 44 for sure. Plus trusses. Either woods or Adams driveshafts.

Dynatrac 60/60 axles $$$$ You want to buy them for me?

No issues with the transfer case. Guys on the forum are running 43's with no problems.

I loved my general grabber x3s. I’d have them still but they don’t go over 37”.

I think slow builds are the better way to go regardless, more time to figure out the best mods.

Psc will get that sorted in time, the market is too big. Until then iiirc redneck ram is n option.

Can’t go wrong with rcvs and a truss.

I’ve been living my best 8 lug life for a year and a half, UD60s here. Personally, if I had a do over, I’d have gone fusion elite 60s. Dynatrac is good, but imo, fusion is the new standard. If I win the lottery, I’ll hook you up with a fusion elite 60/60 package.

I know the jl rubis (and I’m assuming the jt rubis) have had issues bc the new nv241or isn’t purely mechanical anymore and has electrics and synchros in it now but good to hear it’s no problem for the jt. We’re sticking with 35s for my wife’s jlur so I haven’t researched any tc stuff for the jl/jt in quite a while.

It’s #13 that gets ya right in the wallet.

Nice list you’ll have a nice rig when your done.

You need to come down to Florida sometime, Jeep beach is every April. It’s going on this week ironically. You can drive your gladiator on the speedway for *****&giggles.

We could do a 370 forum Jeep photo shoot lol.

Rusty

Got all of my suspension point skid plates on. Got them from Rock Hard and Rusty's OffRoad. Also got my nodular iron Dana diff covers on too. The big blue things.

All of the red pieces are skid plates.

Putting a lot of trust in those flimsy jackstands I assume the truck sits high enough to not squish you if they failed
