Mudhound gets a RockRash4x4 make over!

Hey any new pictures of my jeep

Ummm yes there are pics but I am stupid and lost them....lol.....I cleared my card yesterday in a hurry and dumped all my pics onto my Ext hard drive.....so I went looking for your pics and I have no idea where I put them on that stupid thing, and go figure I have over 125,000 pics on it. so if I don't find them by tonight I will just go take more.....lol

But either way I will post some up by tonight

ok I found some of them finally

here is the front axle in and ready to go










This is a pic of when Geo started puting the rear in.






I will keep looking for the other pics

Oh man the more pics I see the more I want to do this to my TJ. Cant wait to ditch the D35 and get a real axle.

Yes storm, you need a decent front axle to keep from getting stuck in a puddle at soggy bottom.... What's up Zack? Have ya missed the Batman?????

My favorite caped crusader is back. Were you been man?


Back on topic. I have read that the JK uses the same 6 speed manual as the TJ. If this is true can I swap in the Rubicon transfer case from a JK?

cool pics

God this thing is looking sick

And then you'll drive it and it'll look like shit.

j/k man

Ok k-rail lol

ok I forgot to add these the other day but here are more pics

damn that cage looks sick

cept for the stock hoop????? i thought G woulda replace it 1st thing. What is the wall thickness? G might want to replace it with something a little more stout (remember cody is gonna drive it and might be tempted to test it ... again )

but it looks sweet. G, are you gonna add a cross bar behind the seats? or and X bar behind them?


one day when my jeep grows up, it will have a bad ass cage too.

Also, G, how much to add a removable cross bar behind the front seat with a tabs for a harness?

G said he wanted to remove it but could not due to the fact of the factory soft top and the factory seat belts. but yes there is now a bar behind the backseat I just have not taken pics of it. G also said he is going to get back on later tonight and explain the build and why it was done the way it was.

Looks sweet!!

I think the cage needs more triangulation

MORE cuz.....MORE!!!!

DO IT TO IT...

Were any modifications done to the axle? Does a JK axle "bolt on" or do you have to reposition the brackets? If you don't have to reposition the brackets what does that do to the pinion angle? Any updated pictures?

I had nothing to do with the mod, but yes mods to the brackets are required

Thanks Joe. Do you know if they reused the brackets or were new ones required?

Hey Martij

The front spring purched had to be moved but g used the factory ones.
The rear was another story G built brackets from scratch, the factory ones can not be used!

any pics of the progress??

progress? Cody got the Jeep back, back in October it was in and out in 3 weeks. He has the Jeep and has yet to post pics. The only pics I took is what's posted here I think.

C'MON COD-EEEE
