and a tj frame is even wider than yalls, especially in the back. id say at least 2 inches wider per side. set it up with a neutral wheel and then u can adjust it easier with a different backspacing if u dont like.

The PSC rear armor I have is of course nice and flat on the inside but the body of the jeep is no longer perfectly straight. It has a few low spots which allow mud and water to be trapped. I am going to pull them off and work those areas a little more but what else can I do to seal it off?
Black caulking from Home Dept? Not sure how much body /armor would move.
Weld to body.
3m Seam sealer
weld it.
The Jeep did great at Clayton. I put a hole through the oil pan on Walk in the Park and bent the exhaust on Green Mamba. All in all, pretty damn good.
Pretty overwhelming options to go from here. Longarms with coils? Stay low and on short arms? Stretch? **** is very expensive
The wheelbase really did not bother me, other than the rear departure angle. Height was also decent, though the stock skid is very low. 30/44 held up fine. Still thinking if I found a bolt in Rubicon 44 that was not absurdly priced, I would do it.
Tummy tuck skids , maybe a real 2-3" spring, better shocks, adjustable short arms, lockers and shafts. This option is very minimal fab, less down time, more wheeling time.
One other thing I need to do is research better alternators. BDR said there is a 120 amp Ultima at Oriellys. The one on there now does not like winching. Might also have an Optima slowly dying.
It says the 23 spline input is for a manual trans only. Isn't yours an auto?
Sounds reasonably priced to me.
how used it is? They have very little fluid space in them and will burn up bearings easily. I toasted mine. I am going to rebuild it and stick it in Jason's jeep. I wouldn't spend that much myself unless it was pretty much brand new. A used Atlas would be way way better. I would imagine you end up with an atlas in the long run anyhow. Can't do a front dig with a teralow case either.
I think it depends on the input shaft length. Teraflex only calling them long(manual) or short(auto). Need To research more.
Looks like stock Rubicon cases have 4:1 and fixed yoke for around same price
Are used Atlass that common? I don't want to sit around waiting
A couple atlas's a week pop up on pirate. The problem is finding the correct side drop, input shaft and the ratio you want. They are generally in the 1800 to 2500 range.
Atlases are for the weak.
Think I'm going to look for a rubicon case for around $1k. No doubt an Atlas is nice, but I'd spend 3 times as much for a new one. I could buy another Honda fourtrax with extra 2k.
