Think a used rubi about 1500, so not really any difference. I have a 242 on my WJ and do like it in the snow.

So recently picked up a new MJ project and looking at getting better gearing for the trail. Basics are a 4.0 AX15 with D44's a 4.30s, has 33s now but will move up to 35's. Right now I don't want to swap axles or regear so looking at a Atlas or underdrive set up with a D300. Cost wise between the two setups is roughly ~1k IF I source most of needed parts for the underdrive and install them, if I buy the underdrive drop in ready probably ~$500. Atlas is coming in around $2700 and a D300 doubler about $1400-1700 depending on some things. (Rebuilding the cases, putting in a twin stick cover kit to flip the D300, sourcing a 231 6 planetary, etc). Only plus with the D300 set up is it would be more comparable to the Atlas 4 being able to have 2 low and a slightly higher low range 5:33:1 instead of the 5.0:1. Move up to the Atlas 4 and then it becomes a way different comparison but also an additional $800 but a low range of 11.70:1. Guess as I start looking at the cost breakdown the Atlas seems to make more sense all things considered, but it's the additional amount the I'm trying to see if it's worth it. Other option is just running with the 242 in there and putting the rest towards some of the other things. Thoughts?

My hospital is on the flip side. They are getting ready to reopen for elective procedures next week. Already have most of the OR time booked for surgeries. They are expecting to be back to mostly normal operation by mid May. We didn't have to furlough anyone be reallocated resources to other areas. I reopened my jobs reqs as I need to get some more people hired.

Trent will take care of it. Said hes looking at 4.88s 34s and a little lift. I'll let you know it's not moving for a while. First need to get it running and will build on it from there.

Well the day has come for me to let the comanche go....... It's going to a better home. A fellow NAXJA guy, Puttzer, snagged it and will hopefully poke in over here. But I am not MJ less. Decided to snag Meanlemons project MJ and ship it from PA out here. Hes already put a ton of work into it and will be a great builder for what I want to do. Plus I won't feel as bad chopping it up compared to ol red. Currently is sitting at my dads un Denver and I'll hopefully get it running to bring up this summer.

I've saw this junk rambling around when I was in Denver.

Colt 45 and two zig zags........

Hahaha, things where said........................... Out of curiosity, did you buy a kit or DIY for the tower and such? Was looking on eBay and saw a Kegco kit for $100ish

This is one of the MJs around me. Super clean and a nice looking truck.

So, I know you can swap certain HO parts over without the harness. The new project MJ I'm picking up from meanlemons he did just that. Has a 96 block with the 99 intake and a few other things from the HO but will still be renix. If you do a full HO swap 98 or 99 are the only ones I'd consider. Obd HO swap isnt worth it IMHO.

Like how you secured your cargo. Buckle up save lives.....and beer. Looks tasty. I need to get a kegerator.

It's a fine line. Right now beer is winning the battle of what do I spend money on. Mainly from a sanity perspective. Also can't do a lot with the jeeps, WJ is getting the engine rebuilt...... again and I'll be playing musical MJ's shortly and sell mine as I bought Meanlemons project MJ. Think the other thing is I've been seeing a lot more beer in the cooler that typically is not there. Guessing it's because most places are closed so they are shifting operations to canning in lieu of people being able to come in.

Happy saturday! Picked up this and blind pig from Russian river. Pretty tasty, nice balance of citrus and pineyness. First time having it but a buddy recommended it.

Cool good to know.

How do you like that rouge bender? I'm looking at a bender here soon and have narrowed it down to a JD2 with a swag mount, rouge or build a gottrikes one.

MMMM flex....... Out of curiosity what equipment are you using to fab? Welder and bender notcher?

Coming along nice!

Ok, what size tank it that 15 gal?

Nice are you just going to run the E2000 pump or ?

Do you have a pic? Trying to track it in my head. Looking through some 3 link rear seems like it's big with the yota crowd. And most are landing the 3 link on top of the diff and then track bar is going to the furthest point on the axle and using a tower to bring it up. But I guess there might be some clearance issues.

Things is pretty sexy. Interested in learning why your choose a 3 link rear verse a double triangulated 4 link?

Alcan is another option. Not cheap but will be exactly what you want it to be. Could also look at a bastard pack and extended shackles.

$4900, bed is beat to crap but has a back up one. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/colorado-springs-jeep-commanche/7105726097.html
