If you see a Jeep at his house you want to stop at that time. Jeeps don't last long there But on the good side if you realy like the jeep sitting in his driveway they are alway for sale and you could buy it.

Paul has a point there..........


I did sell the Orange Crush and its in Arkansas now...


I tend to go thru rigs alittle too quick for these guys likings....


I am on the look for something new now... Probably go back to a buggy this winter...


The next few months we will be concentrating on the Grateful Red and getting ready for the RcRoc's comp in 2011.. Chris is gonna put my spotting skills to work next year and see if I can keep the rubber side down.....



Stop on over sometime... Lately I have been in the backyard with the new "Rockhauler"......... Its been a few years since I had a boat out back so we took care of that a few weeks ago....

I have a question maybe you guys can help me with.. I am planning on changing my gears but unsure of what size. I have a 4" lift with 35" but planning on 37's next tire change.. Should I go with 5.13 gears or is that too low of a gear for a daily driver???

I have 37's with a 5.5" lift and run 4.88 Yukons. Tom (Fallston YJ) has 37"s with more lift than me( that's what she said) and he is running 4.88 as well. From what I heard there is not that much noticeable difference with the 5.13's. It also depends on what axles you have. We both run alloys and have not had a problem, but I did blow up my stock front with this setup.

alot depends on if you are an auto or a manual with a manual you can get away with a taller gear. I would say check out this link for some reading might help you out

Thats what I'm worried about! Is 5.13 too big for stock? Hate to need a new front or rear because I picked the wrong gear...

Way too much gear....

I was running 5.13 in the Orange crush with 38.5's......

My plan is to go to 37's next tire change. Do you thing I should stick with 4.88? Who do you recommend to do the install???

4.88s are perfect for 37..


Mike Bosley at Appalachian Offroad does my work..
