Nice vid - thx. And nicely set up TJ. I recently sold my 48 so I could buy an 06' Rubicon - with the 4.0/6speed, 4" lift & 35s, long arms, outboarded rear shocks and an 8274 winch. Previous owner modified the locker switch to work in both low and high range. Have only had it at the sand dunes but am eager to hit the rocks in a few weeks. Good luck.
Really enjoyed this video. At last someone makes a video where you can actually SEE the undercarriage they’re walking you through!! I just picked up my first Jeep, a solid ‘97 TJ and it’s very helpful to see what other more experienced Jeep guys have done as I plan my mods. Subscribed 🙂
nice walk around, love the red 2 door. nice ac to air! those put out quite the cfm's, i enjoyed this walk around, made me happy that someone else is putting in work on their rig. that things beastly!
@@MuddyBeards4X4 That was the plan - a comfortable exploration vehicle that can get me into and out of wherever I want to go. I am still adding more armor (skids) even though I don't plan on rock crawling. Might protect my undercarriage when I slide over a stump in the field. Keep producing great vids! Scott
Adan Marquez Thank you. I will definitely make a video on it soon. I use it pretty much every time I go out because I air down my tires and have to fill them up before the drive home.
Thanks, I am in Puyallup. I definitely want to go back to Tahuya and explore more trails for sure. If you follow us on Instagram we announce where and when we are going on a trip, so maybe you could go with us on the next trip. Or let me know next time you are going and I will tag along.

thirzty1 Thanks, the soft locker is great. Even on the street. As long as your not full throttle around a corner. Best upgrade for the 8.8 for sure, along with the super 88 kit.
I have an 06 wrangler and I’m looking to do some off roading I have all stock components aside from my 2 inch lift with 33x12.5what should I upgrade next? Should I get lockers, regear from 3:73s or upgrade the Dana 30 and 35? Your input would be extremely helpful Thanks
Depends on what your final tire size will be and what kind of off roading you want to do. I did a video talking about some of this in a video a few weeks ago,”fitting 40’s on a Tj”. If you are staying on 33’s and doing mild off-roading, your 30,35 axles will be fine. Also depends on your budget, but probably 4.10 gears, and I would start with a front locker, selectable or lunchbox(Aussie)depending on budget. Because just in case you get addicted and want to do harder trails you haven’t wasted money besides gears on the Dana 35. Because that will be the first thing to go if you get into some hairy situations👍🏻
Depends on what you are doing and which wagoneer. it needs to be from a 1980-1981 or 1985-1992 Wagoneer. 1979 and earlier had the differential on the passenger side. 1982-1984 had a problematic vacuum disconnect that was built into the differential for the two piece long side shaft and should be avoided. So I guess it depends, lol. If you can find the right one for the right price, than maybe.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 I just bought a 2006 tj and it has a Dana 30 Lp and a Dana 44 rear. I want to run 37-38’s maybe 40’s one day. I’m reading the stock 44 rear isn’t strong enough so maybe a Ford 9”. I can get a wagoneer front driver side drop axle for $200 with 4.10 gears. I would want to change the lug pattern from 6 to 5x5.5 maybe a spool and unlock it when on the street? I can’t find any other 44 for under 3k around me and your axle type is hard to find in Louisiana by me.
OK.. you earned a sub... i just got 04 rubicon 2 months ago.. old car guy here.. just starting to learn about 4 wheel drive.. why did it take 2 months for your videos to finally pop up? check my jeep out, i did a video on it.. let me know what you think i should do to it.. nothing crazy.. i might have to get another one.. LOL

Saw you on Nate's most recent video and loved the way your TJ performs. Wanted some inspiration for my 02 😀
Thanks, although the Jeep is a much different animal now, lol. I will have to do a new walk around with the upgrades.

I also have a 97 jeep wrangler and I'm loving it
Awesome 👊🏻

Subbed, good mix of tech and visual entertainment!!
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
I have a lifted TJ and live in Washington too, Tri-Cities and my name’s Cory C. so hi 👋🏻😎
Awesome 👊🏻
Clean jeep man! I like the tire rack and how it swings out. I wish mine did that lol.
Thanks man, it’s a home made spare tire carrier.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 and just made it 10x cooler! That's awesome!
Yo WANT A Way To Be A JEEP Owner! Awesome video
got mine done hand throttle from teraflex 20 min install GREAT upgrade
That intro tho!! Nice walk around Kelly!
😂🤣
nice walk around, love the red 2 door. nice ac to air! those put out quite the cfm's, i enjoyed this walk around, made me happy that someone else is putting in work on their rig. that things beastly!
Thanks man I appreciate it! 👊🏻
Great video and a really nice build! You definitely put in the wrench time on this! My TJ is mild compared to yours. 4" lift on 35's...
Scott
Thank you, nothing wrong with a Tj with 4” lift and 35’s. You can do most things with that and still be comfortable driving down the road.

The Jeep is BA. The axles you built are sweet.
Thanks 🤟🏻
Great video! I’d like to hear more on that ac compressor to air compressor mod. I’ve never heard of that sounds interesting.
Adan Marquez Thank you. I will definitely make a video on it soon. I use it pretty much every time I go out because I air down my tires and have to fill them up before the drive home.
Pretty simple its a bolt on
x2 on the a/c compressor conversion video
Michael-Michael Motorcycle I will try to get to it soon. Thanks for watching!
Can u do a video on the lockout front hubs
I want those on my front axle
Still waiting for the lockout hub video 😬
I actually was editing a video of that exact thing today, so it will be coming out soon. Thanks for watching!
Very nice build.
Thank you
Kelly, nice TJ but how about a walk around that fine Ram 250? I'm guessing an 1993?
Thank you, I have a few more things I want to do to it before I do a walk around, but I will get to it. Thanks for watching! Also it’s a 92.
My TJ only has 35's, I am jelly...
Looks like it could do with a new airfillter dude 👍
Yep, I believe I have a new one on there now. That video is almost 2 years old now👍🏻
Great video man 👍
Thanks, appreciate it!
Inspiring bro!!! subbed
Thanks I appreciate it!
Nice Fanny pack!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where at in Washington are you? I’m here too near Tacoma. I usually go out to Tahuya with my 2004 Tj. I love you jeep man.

All that stuff you got from Nate but I don't see any dimple dies
Unfortunately all the stuff I got was pre dimple die, lol.

This guy was asked " who gave you the black eye ? He said no one I had to fight for it "
Really like your TJ, how is the Detroit softlocker on the street? I've got an 8.8 in mine as well and am considering going with the softlocker.
thirzty1 Thanks, the soft locker is great. Even on the street. As long as your not full throttle around a corner. Best upgrade for the 8.8 for sure, along with the super 88 kit.
👍🏽
I'm sure you hit browns camp alot.
Never, lol. It is on my list of places I need to go for sure though.👍🏻
Im running dana 44 3.73 and im thinking of bigger tires like 38s and regearing to 4.56 or should i do 5.13 like you have?🤔
Serious question... why put the manual transmission back in it? Why not go to an Auto?
I have an 06 wrangler and I’m looking to do some off roading I have all stock components aside from my 2 inch lift with 33x12.5what should I upgrade next? Should I get lockers, regear from 3:73s or upgrade the Dana 30 and 35? Your input would be extremely helpful

I have a tight budget. Would a wagoneer front 44 be a good swap?
Depends on what you are doing and which wagoneer. it needs to be from a 1980-1981 or 1985-1992 Wagoneer. 1979 and earlier had the differential on the passenger side. 1982-1984 had a problematic vacuum disconnect that was built into the differential for the two piece long side shaft and should be avoided.

do you have a video about the throttle control?? would like to have one on my 05 tj
I do not. It was on there when I bought the Jeep. Teraflex makes one that’s about $40.
Cool 😎

What year dodge Dakota steering gear box do I need for my 97 tj?
I believe it was 98-99 Durango non snow plow
So it’s safe to say that one will be better for larger tires bet stock right? Just making sure so I don’t have to buy another one later on.
I’ve had the same Dakota box for about 8 years. I have ran 35’s, 36’s and now 40’s with no hydro assist and it still works fine.
How do you keep your compressor lubricated?
Squirted some wd40 in there once a year. 🤣
I did that and ended up ruining 😒 the compressor. I got a hold of a York compressor just need to find the time to install. Thanks
3 wheel drive ?
What hood vents are those?
They are the Genright Off-road hood louvers.
Trade you my jeep for yours :D
How much you pay for the steering
I made it myself with heim joints from Barnes 4wd, and some DOM tube. I think I have about $150 into it, but I can’t remember exactly.
What wheels are those?
Just some cheap pro comp steel wheels
How is the highway gear with 5.13’s?
Not bad, it’s nearly stock ratio with 40’s on it. But I don’t drive it on the highway anymore unless I have too, lol.
Beards and fanny packs don't go together, even if they are patriotic. Lol
What are you talking about.. beards go good with everything, lol.
