07-11 Jeep Wrangler Ulimited
38 inch Falken tires on some wheel(LOL)
Engine 3.8 till it dies than swap it for V8 or 4.1 Stroker(Supercharged)
Transmission: Automatic Trans
Transfer Case: 4-1 Rubicon case - Atlas once I axle swap is in.
Axles: Would like to do Dynatrac but still trying to figure things out - Right now Junkyard route is looking like a good idea
Wheelbase: Okay so I know I am already super long. But I am thinking I might stretch it just a bit to get the look I want
Lockers: E-Lockers till new axles than Air lockers

I will be be building this in 5 stages an will take about 2-5 year to finsh pending how life goes. Anyway if you guyz have any question? Comments or Concern about any of the ideas about please let me know

This my be overkill but this kinda what I wanna do. I know ill be heavy but after much thought and my first engine swapping idea just being to far out my reach after talking with more techs so now I thinking this is kinda the route I wanna go.

Looks like a decent plan. I think you are still trying to get too much HP for it's purpose. I know you have mentioned changing but the stock T-case and axles are not going to survive long. Get er done...with lots of pictures!

[MultiScuf]

Update Graph. Yeah this just basic Graph I plan on changing it every once in awhile an adding too. Pictures will come currently on the how for a JKU there are a few out there I have thought about but will see. At these point I thinking ill find a wreck on and just start cutting.

The first one is RESQ1. 5.3L LS, PR60/80, 40s, etc.

The second is Jeep's Red Rock Responder concept vehicle built for the 2015 Easter Jeep Safari. Stock Pentastar v6, Dana 60 front and rear, and 37s,

Yeah I like both concepts. Right now it really comes down to weight. RESQ1 is so Heavy - Red Responder is light but thats cause the sides are made of plastice vs steal.

Lockers: E-Lockers till new axles than Air lockers

I don't know if the e-lockers are stock but if they aren't why not just wait and save the money for the axles and air lockers?

[MultiScuf]

They are stock in the rubicon axles

[dieseldoc]

Brandon I know where to get D60's matching set's shipped to your door.....
They are take off axles so something as pull n pay.
But there's are right hand drop king pin fronts so t case has to change with these.

Get hold of me to get the info, don't want to have my stash raided....

[MultiScuf]

Well slight change in plans as of tonight.

Will I been having a long chat with few of my buddies and the contacts. I going to be building my first idea. The plan as of right now is to run 1 of 2 systems. The first system I can't really say much about as it will be one off untill it get but into production.
The second being he 2.5inch lift from JKS in the front and 3.0inch JKS spring in the rear for the extra weight. Due me down the custom route on my bumper's and sliders and couple products I will just be doing a regular 2012+ JKU with the 3.6pentastar. I will just wait for the engine to blow up. Anyway ill update the charts and everything tomorrow. With hopefully a bigger part's/plan list :) Have great Friday its work for me. :)

[94ToyBear]

Please explain what "blow up" mean to you.
Is that ten years from now?
Running it low on oil?
Is it the high mileage?
I have a hard time beliving that that engine will blow up unless it is not maintenance like it should be.
Engines these days can get up to 200k miles easy.

Hmm, I'm at 196K and wouldn't think twice about hauling my trailer across country. Maybe Brandon's plans are to blow it up! :lmao:

[94ToyBear]

Well if thats the case, so be it.
just curious that it actually means.
I have read in the past Brendan saying he is pretty easy going on the skinny pedal.
So "blow up" just dont make sense to me.
I really dont think there is an intention to actually blow it.
Im confused lol

[94ToyBear]

Maybe the way i wrote that sounded wrong.
200k is easy to obtain with proper maintenance.
300k is achievable. Considering that you said your only going to be using this rig a handfull of times a year, for long trips and what not, or even trailering it your going to have a sweet low mileage rig that will last for years to come.
I do like that your making you mind up on what you want.
Its pretty cool that your talking and learning too.
Now build the thing! I love build threads!

Depends if pick up a 3.8 JKU ill run it till the engine grenade's - The tend to go out at 150kish who know's what ever engine I have ill take care to till it gives out than swap though.

[94ToyBear]

What tends go out on the 3.8 at 150k?

[MultiScuf]

What tends go out on the 3.8 at 150k?
From what I been hearing the whole engine just compression and start leak fluids

[94ToyBear]

Sounds like any engine at that mileage really.
What happends to cause compression issues with the 3.8?

[MultiScuf]

They tend to drop oil before the drop compression. I really just looking 505 stroker once the engine goes and as long as I dont lose the block ill be fine.

Recently just got some news that friend of mine will be our here in late 2016/ ealry 2017 So I will hopefully be having one of his test cages going into my rig. Still pundering 70% of my build. There is alot I wanna get right this build and it kinda of taking me all over the place. So I have a couple question. First of what are everyone thoughts on Double Winch sets up meaning I won't have it attached to the hitch am just going to have set up right where the hitch would go? I l also looking into sliders now there isn't a single brand/style I like out there so now I am looking into just them custom made? I was think just a upgrade factory rubicon style bar and tie into the cage at a later time? What are people thoughts on Panel amour?

Thanks again everyone for input :)

if you get a 3.6 there's this, much easier than a swap...

Oh I know 3.6 would be easier but am cheaping on the engine cause I know I wanna go to V8 or Hemi or LS or just Stroker it in the eng.

[dieseldoc]

hemi man its not a tough swap

[MultiScuf]

If I can find a good used one.
