The Return of BIGGER Black

I looked into that, as It also gives you 3 more inches of clearance, but because of that it totally changes the oil uptake, and you have to pull the motor and the bottom half of the motor off, change timing cover, bunch of other things, so the $500 skid seems like a good alternative 😂

Wow, that’s crazy. Glad the skid works and is much easier than all of that.

I bought EVO’s pro tranny skid a couple years ago because the forest roads over here are littered with downed branches and was concerned about a branch coming up and taking out a tranny coolant line but the 21s have a different motor mount and it doesn’t fit. Mell said they were working on a fix. After watching your video today, I asked EVO if they have a fix for it yet and was told it’s still in development. Lol, it’s been in development for 2 years.

Ha ya that’s probably not coming then, I was hoping they had a 392 one but Rusty’s makes nice stuff too and didn’t disappoint. There really aren’t many 392 options out there and I couldn’t take myself serious or come back here with a full belly skid, and while I haven’t trail tested it yet it’s pretty stout.

Yeah, it looks stout for sure.
 
OK, have had the jeep apart for the better part of a week, installing RockJock 4x4 high steer with PSC ram skid and full psc conversion kit, Revolution front shafts and diff cover. The Rock Jock kit is beefy and nice, PSC kit is well made too, but this is hardly a job for someone with big hands, makes some tasks nearly impossible. But either way im getting there, got a lot more done this afternoon and hope to be mostly wrapped up tomorrow.

Looking great Ben! Definitely not the simplest install to do. Glad you are liking the RockJock kit 🤙🏼

Thanks dude, it’s definitely a nice pairing, was going to text you earlier and forgot, this ram is 8”, do you know if I should just set my steering stops to factory or try and squeeze a bit more out of it? Is it an issue if the ram doesn’t fully cycle because steering stops?

Definitely get all the adjustment you can with all the components cycling ok. Ram may still have a tad more at full lock which you will feel in the steering at full lock. At that point, you just don’t force it, you will feel it. But it should set up really close.

Wow, that’s awesome! Installing that PSC looked to be a tough job! So you went full hydro?

That’s RockJocks specific ram assist kit.
