WAYALIFE on the GO : Miscellaneous Photos from Cindy & Eddie!

[wayoflife]

So much more protection from the tire/wheel for all of the important bits on the end of the axle...love it! :thumb:

Oh yeah, the protection is amazing but even more amazing is the huge improvement is in its scrub radius. Way more maneuverable and even easier to steer with lockers on. Here's another shot from down low so that you can see how the lower ball joint is protected.

So I'll guess 5" BS. Looks like TR offers up to 6". Pretty impressive if there's no contact with those 40s.

Is this what Dynatrac is focusing on with this new 60?

What's UP with WAYALIFE : Cindy & Eddie's Photos on the GO!!

What rear axle did you go with?

What rear axle did you go with?

Probably still running the same pr60 that came out of moby years ago

That's a significant improvement compared to my XD60 with the older wheel ends and 3.5" bs wheels. All of that is exposed on mine.






It also looks like they have your coilovers and shocks mounted much lower on the axle tube than mine is. It looks like it's enough that Rubicat would sit a few inches lower than mine with the same amount of up travel. Do you have to do any kind of clearancing in the frame on the passenger side for the drag link?

Here's where they mounted my lower coilover/shock mounts for reference. It's a muddy, blurry pic but you can see how high mine are mounted on the axle tube compared to Rubicat's.

Drew told me that if I wanted the evo high steer then I would have to go with the regular wheel end. Maybe dynatrac is trying to fix that now.

Well, that was 5 x 5.5, and now he has 8 lug. Maybe it's the new low pinion xd60 ff.

To change to 8 lug all it would need is 8 lug hubs on the rear full float PR60. Pretty quick and easy swap.

Axle design looks really well thought out.

Thats crazy how everything is tucked in the wheel. Interested to see what else is going on.

Damn work's been getting in the way of my surfing here - I totally missed this! WOW That new setup is badass!
Man, Rubicat is hands down my favorite Jeep. Dozer is the only color I'd trade my Jeep for.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the setup that spicy chicken has. Other than the wheels.

That's interesting, you never see people do the "forklift flex" while turning the wheels.

Similar but not the same.

As Cindy said, we were checking for any clearance issues - at a full stuff and at a full turn.

What cozdude said. We had our old ProRock 60 modified and are still using it.

That's a significant improvement compared to my XD60 with the older wheel ends and 3.5" bs wheels. All of that is exposed on mine.

More than the reduction of exposure, significant improvements in steering have been made as well. Rubicat can now turn on a dime or at least, relatively so in spite of having a front 60.

It also looks like they have your coilovers and shocks mounted much lower on the axle tube than mine is. It looks like it's enough that Rubicat would sit a few inches lower than mine with the same amount of up travel. Do you have to do any kind of clearancing in the frame on the passenger side for the drag link?

The axle mounts are about the same. Modifications have been made to the frame towers and newly designed bypass shocks have been installed to provide more clearance - enough so to allow full stuff of a 40" tire even at a full turn and without rubbing.

Set build goals to rubicat
... And Eddie goes and moves the damn bar AGAIN!

J/K. Rubicat looks awesome! I can't wait to see more out on the trail! :thumb:

It's not just rubicat, once you research, finally decide on a path, something always changes. But oh well. Get the best at the time and don't look back.

I had similar thoughts. Rubicat rubs a PR44 with Rubi internals so I'll go with that.

And then he gets a XD60...

Guess I need 60/60!
