So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Loving the Ram.
Me too Bobby. First non-chevy product I've owned, as a daily driver, since I began driving 17 years ago... I don't regret it at all.
I like the Jeep. The TJ unlimited with the longer wheelbase is nice and not very common. In future years it those will be as sought after as the CJ Scramblers are today. Does yours have the D44 front axle or the D30?

How's the EcoDiesel treating you? Or is it the wife's? I remember you saying the Duramax was better in some ways, you still feeling like that? What's your mileage looking like? Yes, I'm obviously leaning towards a Ram, if anyone couldn't tell.
Me tooI really dig that beefy mega cabCummins with a solid front axle...semi old schoolLots of potential and pretty as well!
Jeep doesn't look so Barbie when it's covered in mud!What area of Texas you in ?

Coil springs and linked. No more leafs. Not on the 2500's anyway. Very nice concept, and it seems to be more stable when pulling. Doesn't have the roll that some trucks have.

Man, that looks like a blast Ashley, a real blast !!...but if the Jeep is as nice as you say, I would have a hard time runnin' it through the mud. It might be better to get one that has been abused, and modify it for that task.
So, basically everyone gets the concept I think....Here is my dilemma though...I keep hearing how rare these TJ Unlimited's are. And I just dropped a big chunk of money to have new gears and lockers and tires installed on this jeep I currently own. I'm thinking I can keep the jeep. I own it free and clear. Remove axles and sale them as is. Sale off the tires and wheels as well. Recoup some of my money. Install the new Rockwells, lift, and tires under my Unlimited, and keep the factory inline 6 motor and trans. If I did that, I would want to go out and buy another jeep, possibly 4 door, to keep stock for running around at the farm, errands, and hunting.Or, keep the jeep just like it is, and buy another Jeep, with a solid motor and trans, and lift it. Only issue is, I know where my yellow jeep came from, and it has been babied. Never abused. Never even saw mud until I bought it. So, I know the motor and trans are solid. I don't want to jump in investing $35k on more vehicles and add ons... I think I can get my current jeep project done for under $15k. And, if I don't cut the tires, and have Disc brakes installed at all four corners on the rockwells, instead of at just the pinion, I may could even keep it street legal. :o Then I could still run down to the farm or deer lease the handful of times a year that I go. Just wanted to see if anyone has any other thoughts or opinions on the situation, or suggestions.... If this project takes off, I will keep pictures and progress posted here...
Also saw a nice XJ, like bobby's except this one had rocker panels!

Hard Core!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
