Nice!

 

[TanasiXJ]

wow!

 

[highspeed]

That thing is bad! It can really twist up with that suspension!

 

[High2by]

Wow!

 

[MELKORsXJ]

This jeep is the badest I have ever ridden in! No joke... It is insane that a jeep this big can get up and go like it does... Or break the tires loose from a stop or roll! And it rides really well too with the ORIs and 4 link suspension.
Well done Tyler!
...I can't imagine how bad the next jeep build of this caliber will be!

This thing is very cool!
My only question is why would the owner start with a rubicon, then replace everything mechanically that makes it a rubicon? Do the base models have weaker frames or something? I know the sticker looks cool, but that a lot of extra money for a sticker... But it's pretty obvious that the owner of the jeep isn't too worried about a couple thousand dollars here and there, lol.
It turned out very nice, and I can tell no corners were cut. You do great work, Tyler! You never cease to impress, man.

I'm guessing here but I wheeled with him before all this started. Like most people who buy and wheel the rubi's they don't quite hold up to the 37's he had on it. :laugh:

Taylor started with a rubicon because like all of us you start small and work your way up. he started wheeling stock, then upgraded, wheeled, then more upgrades from there etc. and now finished product hah.


if you were going to buy a jeep to go straight to this caliber build i would definitely go with a wrecked or base modal.

Well said and very true.

Thanks for clearing that up, guys. I just pictured some rich guy who got into wheeling and decided to start with the baddest thing out there, and make it better.
Sometimes it's hard to fathom the money some guys put into their rigs, when my budget for a finished rig is $2k or less, lol. And on top of that it's usually my daily.
Not that I don't have another car, I just prefer to drive the jeep most of the time

no problem!

Yeah, Taylor (the owner) and I have been good friends for about 5 years now and he had the jeep fairly stock back then. Since then it has been all over the south getting beat on and now its in its final stage of where he wanted it to be. He and I had been talking about this dream build for quite some time and Tyler made the dreams come true.

Taylor is a welder out in the middle of no where North Dakota (oil rigs), so I am sure now that Judy is done he will be making trips to the southeast to wheel this thing as much as he can.

man, I remember this thing torn down in the back of the shop looking pretty sad.

it's pretty ballsy now.

 

[MELKORsXJ]

[BlurpleXJ]

Got to see this beast a few days ago when I was dropping my jeep off. GORGEOUS. And the sounds it makes... :loveu: Really just an impressive piece of work.
