    12' Gecko Build

    I think the only argument I've heard against something like the king 2.5s is that they need to be rebuilt from time to time and if you cant do it yourself then shipping them off to king is a long wait and quite expensive where you could just buy a brand new set of ranchos every year and never...

    12' Gecko Build

    Thats kinda where I'm at. I got no problems running a coil and shock. The 3" coils and some nice shocks seems like a good option. Tons of options on shocks out there, would love to hear if something like a king 2.5 is worth the money or not. Coilovers sounds dope but only if the performance...

    12' Gecko Build

    Thats a good 10 years out. Im planning on it being my retirement project. Wanting to do the full triangulated 4 link move the gas tank 16" coilovers etc.... So kinda looking for a 10 year solution that will still be fun with the V8 and 1 tons without being a big fab job to be cut off later

    12' Gecko Build

    Alight reaching out for some advise here. Now that the new axles wheels and tires are bought and my old axles are sold i still have a healthy budget to address some suspension work while everything is out. I'm currently running 6 out of 8 adjustable control arms (front lowers are still stock)...

    Axle swap jack stand placement

    Ended up buying a set of those tall ones. $250 was worth my piece of mind I guess smd then if for some reason they are in the way to work I'll have the weight on the frame stands

    Axle swap jack stand placement

    gottcha, thanks! i was looking at something like these to help support off the front and back bumpers but they are quite expensive and not sure how much they would be in the way to work. I gotta pull them both at the same time. My dad is snagging my old axles about a month before the new ones...

    Axle swap jack stand placement

    Anyone got any tips for jack stand placement to pull both axles without a lift? Last axle swap I did was just the front so it didn't seem as sketchy lifting it nose high past level, but this time im pulling both and being a 2dr I feel like it's gonna be so front heavy with just jack stands on...

    12' Gecko Build

    Dan was awesome so far. I feel bad I've called him like 6 times over the last month to make sure I get the set up right. But I don't plan to buy axles ever again and I'm confident this set will be great for me

    12' Gecko Build

    Thanks! I'm excited. It's a little different than the UD60s or the dynatrac but I'm excited to see how the kingpins shake out and I like the added strength of the 14 bolt with better clearance running the V8. Time will tell but I think it's gonna be a great fit for me. The 72" was kinda the...

    Moab thanksgiving

    Welp it remains on my list now i wanna do it. Just being solo and first time going down I didn't feel like it was worth it. I'm sure my rig would make it down but to be safe I'd rather have someone holding the back down the first time I do it. I feel pretty comfortable in my rig on almost...

    Moab thanksgiving

    Welp ended up running the full steel bender loop. I was planning on running the full thing north to south but being a 2dr and no one to help hold my ass down I elected to turn around at "the fall" Wasn't willing to end up on my roof today

    UD60s / Fusion 60s

    Some big steps to the ultimate goal are finally getting checked off the list and it's super exciting. V8 done, 1 tons next, then i get to plan out what I'm gonna do suspension wise. Gonna have to stick with the short arm coil and shock for a bit until I can figure out what steps to take before...

    UD60s / Fusion 60s

    Finally got the green light and I'm gonna get some 1 tons ordered tomorrow. Talked it over with Dan at fusion again and I have landed on doing their 60/13 set up in 72" and 40 spline rear. To note for anyone in the market Fusion is 5% off until Dec 3rd and dynatrac looks to be about 15% off on...

    Moab thanksgiving
