It's not looking great for us. Ever since I put the 60s on, I've been chasing problem after problem. I wish I could go back to January and not order the hardcore package. I loved my PR44, and have no love for this hardcore package. We spent over 15k to "bullet proof" our rig for this and a Rubicon trip, and ended up with a rig less reliable than we've ever had.
The latest of a string of issues, I switched the hubs with new Dynatrac parts from 5x5.5 to 8x6.5, and switched wheels and tires to new 40" Cooper STT Pros. Since then I have uncontrollable death wobble at anything greater than 50mph. Also our brand new hyd assist steering box is leaking at the input shaft assembly (a seal wasn't installed right), so I haven't even installed the ram yet.
I'll keep you posted, but I'm pretty sure there's no way for us to get the rig from Maryland to Ouray as things stand =(.

Both. We are also staying after the offical trip, though.

I'm fairly certain our death wobble is related to a largely ovalled hole on the Prorock 60 trackbar bracket. It's egg shaped and has a significant amount of bolt play. I'm going to weld it in, re-drill, and weld on some washers to try and get road worthy for the trip. Unfortunately, I don't know if the ovalled hole is a chicken or egg scenario. Did something else cause death wobble which ovalled the hole? I'll keep you all posted, and update in a few days after test driving. We're still trying everything to make the trip.
olllllllo :rock:

How does the paint look? If ovalled out with time, would've scratched off paint

Curious, you got the hardcore package with jk bolt pattern and then changed it to 8 on 6.5?
Thought it only came 8 on 6.5??

I recently had steering issues after hydro assist install. I thought it was the gearbox but ended up being the frame bracket for the track bar. I had just installed a RK track bar. After some troubleshooting it was determined that the hole wallowed. I believe it happened before the RK TB seeing as turned steering was why I bought the RK TB. I just failed to notice the wallowed hole. Big washers wwre welded on both sides of the bracket which fixed it. Now it drives like stock. Hopefully that helps.

I ordered it in 5x5.5 specifically for a set of wheels I'm no longer using. I think I had the only 5x5.5 hardcore package sold. They will no longer do a package in 5x5.5.
