CAGE!!!
I have a Rockhard cage, best mod I have ever done. Safety Safety!
True that.. Only reason I sprang for a bolt in was I got a heckuva deal in Moab at the vendor show. But then again, your cage is only as strong as the person welding... And also, if you do plan on going long arm, don't waste the money on a short arm lift. You'll kick yourself. I wheeled on 33's, 1.25" Bl, 1" MML and tummy tuck for 3 years while I saved the money for a long arm kit. It truly makes you a better driver in the long run.. Anyone else agree?blkrubi05 said:Good choice. I'm thinking of ditching my bolt in cage for a full weld in...a lot of people like to save the money and do a bolt in..I was one of them. But everyday I realize that I should have spent the extra bucks for a full weld in.
How can you disagree with how much a stock Rubi can do without many mods? I've watched guys open n open go places they should have never got to, it was because of their driver skills.rubitx said:Disagree
I may have misunderstood your message, but I disagree with where you state "don't waste money on a short arm lift". I run an aftermarket short arm build and, although I once wanted an "infamous long arm" build, wouldn't do it today. My Jeep is a daily driver and its been from Moab to Clayton. I am yet to run a bypass where a long arm would have made the obstacle. No, I don't wheel with inexperienced drivers, yet very competent drivers. We pick good lines and crawl away. Matter of fact, we've made it up some obstacles long arms did not.alpine said:don't waste the money on a short arm lift.
It all depends on manual/auto, DD or not, and terrain usually driven on. I drove my 6spd/35s/4.11 for 4 yrs, no probs..as a DD. Nothing was awful, and my jeep is heavy.johncanfield said:If you have 35" tires with the factory 4.11 gears, you are seriously ready for re-gearing. I just re-geared from 4.11 to 4.88 and I have 33" tires - performance and fuel mileage was awful with the 4.11s.
