After seeing all the picture and videos posted on FB this is on my list for next year.
I am fairly sure that I have selected my trial rig at this point?. So now I need to know how far to take it.
I would like to build a trail rig that can be driven to the trails. In Ouray that is simple as most of the trails could be run in a factory FSJ.
Moab from what I can tell is a very different story. I am not building a tough truck competition vehicle so please keep that in mind.
I would like to know the minimum requirements for being able to run a large amount of the trails. I?m sure as with anyplace the extreme will always be out of reach and that is not my intention with this truck.
The Chevy drive-line installation started this week in the 76 Cherokee.
V8 fuel injected with headers
700r4
NP241 transfer case
D44 front and rear.
At this point everything else is yet to be purchased so I have a blank slate.
Tire size ? can I get away with 35?s? I would prefer not to drive to the trails on 37?s
I figure if I take it easy on 35?s I can live with D44?s. I?m sure that anything longer will require larger axle gear also.
Lift ? tire size will drive this to some extent however will at SOA be acceptable?
Locker in rear is a given Is the front required and/or suggested.
Winch will also be part of the standard equipment
