I recently upgraded my jeep with a custom D44 with a rear locker, more lift and 35 inch tires. it is a beast now, but this video looks back on the last 5 years of wheeling with 33 inch tires and truetrac limited slips front and rear. It was a very competent set up and I had all kinds of fun. I hope this video serves to show you what a mildly modded Jeep can do. I wheel in the PNW and do trips to destinations like Moab and the Rubicon.


Here are some of the mods done at the time of this video

2 inch BDS lift and 1 inch Daystar body lift
- UCF tummy tuck - SYE - Adams Driveshafts - G2 cromo shafts. 4.88 gears - Detroit true tracs - Quadratec winch and lights - Smitybilt rear bumper - Rugged Ridge front bumper - trail gear rocker gards - poision spider hood louvers - Rokman gas skid - currie upper control arms

    Nice to see a good ol "regular" jeep conquering some trails. Too many $100k builds out there doing the same thing.

    Not a Jeep guy, but can’t argue with this one….33’s and tru-tracks, low gear and a good spot…..you can’t lose.
  • Just found your channel. this vid gives us rookies a class on learning how to do the most with the least! awesome vid

    I have an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn with a 2.5" lift on 32" Bfg ko2's and this is by far the best and most capable vehicle I've had. This is the perfect set up for anyone competent. The aftermarket has tricked most in thinking you need 35's - 40's and a 4" - 6" lift to wheel. People who lack off road skill and common sense are usually the fools in a 4 door limo heep from '07 - present with 35's - 40's. Great video. 👍

    I too have a TJ on 33”s. I’ll be looking to go chromoly axle shafts F/R, and locker in front, limited rear. Love the ability of my 4cyl. TJ going down double black diamond trails with the big boy’s and turning heads! I follow my son’s JL with 40’s, and surprise him constantly. Great video!!!!

    Don't forget to give the driver some credit, that's some competent wheelin' right thurr.

    Dude! That is awesome! I have an 04 Rubicon with a 3" lift and 33's. I think I'm going to add coil spacers just to get it closer to 4 inch lift and get sway bar disconnects.

    This is great! Showing how capable a sensibly modded vehicle can be.
  • I love a light mod rig being wheeled. It is the most fun doing the old trails as you can get. Heavy moded rigs are fun but more of a easy button end result. I have a TJ that I trail hard with some mods. 33's, dana 30 upgraded to the 30 spline Elocker twisting 4.88s and a 44 in the rear Elocker and moly shafts as well, 4" lifted with one ton steering. It's a blast every outing. I do have an 89 Toyota rock crawler with tons and 40"s, with all the bells and whistles as well. It is a trailer queen and is beyond capable. It is the most boring rig I've owned because most of the trails are off and on challenging. I have certain boulder areas I mainly take it to for a challenge to make it fun. I do prefer my jeep over the Toyota for almost all the available old trails. Just because I am constantly challenged...

    “What kind of mods do you have?” “I have…JEEP.”

    I have a 99 TJ with around a 2.5 inch spacer lift and 32s. I'm looking to get it regeared very soon. I have the 3 speed auto and D30/35 combo and I'm wanting to go to 4:10/4.11. I have been looking forever for a D44 but it's hard to find them in 4:10. And the few times I've found them, they want crazy money for it. I'm probably doing the revolution 30 spline super 35 upgrade when I get my Jeep regeared. I've thought about adding the powertrax no slip to the D30 since I am completely open. Realistically, I have never been wheeling, just down some rough roads and I use this as a DD to get me back and forth from college and trout fishing. So I don't think I need to go too overboard
  • Nice to see a dana35 being used and not exploding like everyone says. You convinced me to go a similar setup
