Also when I was broke after buying a house it was my everyday driver . Even pulled my Malibu Skier with it . I does have 5.29 gears, lockers in both ends and some other secret squirrel stuff . I love this thing its been on a lot of the hardest trails and makes short work of a lot of them . The slightly longer wheel base is an advantage more then a hindrance most of the time .

I wheeled quite a few of those... built right, they’re great. And you’re definitely right about the longer wheelbase. Ever since I went to a four door jeep, I could tell a difference.

I don’t wheel my Jeep as much as my Rzr. A turbo 4 seat Rzr with 32’s and 17” of ground clearance will go in places my Jeep would never go.

OC, I just got the non-turbo Rocks & Trails Razr, still armoring it up with sliders and such and haven't had it on the trails yet. I know my tires are 14's but not sure how tall they are. How much taller are your 32's compared to what comes on the R&T Razr? Thing already appears to have decent ground clearance but you can never have enough.

You figure stock tires are 28’s. I’ve got 32’s so there’s 2” increase in height. Then add the fact I just spent a grand for “shock therapy” coil springs and I increased the pre-load another almost two inches.

A stock 4 sweater Rzr has 13” of ground clearance. I’m at about 17”.

Makes a difference on a 4 seater especially when going over water breaks.

Even an inch makes a difference... if you don’t believe me, ask my ex wife 🤣

Oh man me and my hunting buddy were just drooling over those new RZR's online yesterday they are soooo nice I would love to have one but its way down the list of needs at this time .lol.

Those Mahindra jeeps are pretty cool I'd love to have one but they are a little Pricey when you can find an old jeep for less then half the price and be street legal .

Well you gotta have stories to tell the grandkids Back inn the 90's I had a 86 CJ7. I had a 2012 JK until about a year ago. I test drove a JL Renegade Unlimited a few weeks ago (My brother works for FCA and he had a pre production model). All of my Jeeps have been 2 doors with a manual trans, but when the JL model comes out with the ecodiesel and 8 speed, I will be TEMPTED.

Here’s a pic of my Rzr. I just finished having the wheels powder coated.

[Orangecrush]

I just added new seats and harnesses. Orange is the new black. Speaking of orange (and a little off topic) here is my orange el Camino that we just painted. It’s a ‘71 frame off with a new LS-1

It’s been at Hendrick Motorsports feting the engine and wiring down and now I have to assemble it back together, put on its new wheels and tires, redo the vinyl top in charcoal gray and install satin SS stripes on the SS hood. (It’s not an SS)

WOW nice car and RZR !!!! I have a 72Chevelle I was going to convert to an LS but now I have a highly accomplished engine builder that said he'll build me a reliable 400 horse small block just so Id keep it small block and not do the LS conversion . He's old school he says those are for rock crawlers and drift cars hahaha I disagree but I really want one of his motors so I'm sticking with a small block with a FiTech or some type of bolt on injection . He says it will probably be a 383 or or 400 depending on a few variables .

Nice I had a 71' El Camino way back in those days. Real pretty root beer brown. I had SS stripes painted on the hood and a GTO style bubble tach out on the hood. Bone stock 350 and auto trans otherwise.

Man, I’m telling, fuel injection is the way to go. I am old school, can still build an engine, plasti gage the frank and everything but I’m telling you, here’s a list of cars that were swapped...ALL WITH FUEL INJECTED setups.

1980 Monza- lt-1

1996 S10- lt-1, 468 cu in (not injected) , back to blown 454

2006 Hummer H2- 900 HP duramax that got 20 mpg on highway on 40’s

1996 Mazda Miata - fuel injected 550HP

2017 Jeep crate motor 6.4

All of these were swapped with fuel injectied engines. I’m telling you, it’s the way to go.

I’ll send a video of it idling... it sounds like a cammed (it is) small block Chevy.

Crush if you see any of those late '70's or 80-81 models, take a pic for the thread... Or take pics of any jeeps you seen and liked and post up for us...

[Orangecrush]

I saw the most gorgeous CJ7 complete with flames. I tried to take a pic but he took off before I had a chance.
