    Transmission: Automatic Trans
    Transfer Case: 4-1 Rubicon case - Atlas once I axle swap is in.
    Axles: Would like to do Dynatrac but still trying to figure things out - Right now Junkyard route is looking like a good idea

    Looks like a decent plan. I think you are still trying to get too much HP for it's purpose. I know you have mentioned changing but the stock T-case and axles are not going to survive long. Get er done...with lots of pictures!

    Yeah I like both concepts. Right now it really comes down to weight. RESQ1 is so Heavy - Red Responder is light but thats cause the sides are made of plastice vs steal.

    I don't know if the e-lockers are stock but if they aren't why not just wait and save the money for the axles and air lockers?

    Well slight change in plans as of tonight.

    Will I been having a long chat with few of my buddies and the contacts. I going to be building my first idea. The plan as of right now is to run 1 of 2 systems. The first system I can't really say much about as it will be one off untill it get but into production.
    The second being he 2.5inch lift from JKS in the front and 3.0inch JKS spring in the rear for the extra weight. Due me down the custom route on my bumper's and sliders and couple products I will just be doing a regular 2012+ JKU with the 3.6pentastar. I will just wait for the engine to blow up. Anyway ill update the charts and everything tomorrow. With hopefully a bigger part's/plan list Have great Friday its work for me.

    Please explain what "blow up" mean to you.
    Is that ten years from now?
    Running it low on oil?
    Is it the high mileage?
    I have a hard time beliving that that engine will blow up unless it is not maintenance like it should be.
    Engines these days can get up to 200k miles easy.

    Hmm, I'm at 196K and wouldn't think twice about hauling my trailer across country. Maybe Brandon's plans are to blow it up!

    Well if thats the case, so be it.
    just curious that it actually means.
    I have read in the past Brendan saying he is pretty easy going on the skinny pedal.
    So "blow up" just dont make sense to me.
    I really dont think there is an intention to actually blow it.
    Im confused lol

    Maybe the way i wrote that sounded wrong.
    200k is easy to obtain with proper maintenance.
    300k is achievable. Considering that you said your only going to be using this rig a handfull of times a year, for long trips and what not, or even trailering it your going to have a sweet low mileage rig that will last for years to come.
    I do like that your making you mind up on what you want.
    Its pretty cool that your talking and learning too.
    Now build the thing! I love build threads!
