My Jeep (The Pirateship)
4X4PLAY
October 20, 2010
2003 TJ
8" Rock Krawler long arm suspension with coilovers.
The front axle is a d44 out of an old Scout, locked, 5:13 gearing and chromoly shafts (I also have a set of RCV Performance shafts that I have yet to install)
The rear axle is a d44 out of an old XJ also locked, 5:13's and chromoly shafts (Alloy USA).
The engine and transmission are stock other than a cold air intake.
Dual cases twin stick'd d300/231 doubler for a crawl ratio of 155:1.
Skidplated from front to rear with 1/4", boatsides are made with 3/16" plate and boxed in with 1"X1".
For recovery it caries a Warn Powerplant (9500)
Underneath attached to the front of the oilpan skidplate is a Runva 3500 LB winch to pull the weight back down on the front wheels when climbing hills.
The Pirateship rolls on 37X12.5X17 BFG KM2's for the street and crawls with 37X12.5X15 Maxxis Creepy Crawlers when she sails upon the rocks...
A couple videos in action...
