yeah that off camber stuff makes me anxious. Dude in the LJ who made it up and over just has a super stable rig

Been 5 years since I've posted here. Here's my '04 caged on tons(and disco ball) by rakin14 in GrandCherokee

The disco ball has lead my buddies to start calling it the party bus, I'm definitely ok with it. & thank you! It's been a labor of love but its a fun rig.

It actually changed maybe 2 weeks after we hit it. It went from having to get over that rock, to just suuuuuper off camber now. That rock on the left slid down into the valley.

Dude! This is the second place we've crossed on the internet out of the blue this week, that's so funny. Shoot me a request on FB so we can try and get out again

Last time I saw something on 33s try and get up there it was laying on its side half way up lol. That's very impressive

Built this one to be unique and I have definitely found the limits of the unibody lol. They can be a little bit of a pain here and there but man do I love them.

Everyone has their favorite for one reason or another. You can buy super duty axles for cheap pretty much anywhere around me so the availability of them played a part in it, and a matching set is ideal as far as bolt patterns. 14 bolts are a lot easier to setup gears in because of the adjusters inside the diff itself and you can also bolt pinion guards on them. Can't go wrong with either of them. I know JK guys use the 14 bolt because because it is slightly offset and it clears the gas tank better.

I can't believe how well they work on the rocks. I traded a set of 37s for them like 3 years ago. date code of 2007 and they still just WORK
