Man so true. The best years are 05-11 if you want to stick with the SD/sterling combo. And yeah… locating them is by far the easiest and cheapest part 🤣🤣🤣.
Yeah. There are a few routes you can go and as mentioned in the video, you can either stick with the 8x170 ford pattern or, in my case have new hubs machined for 8x6.5. But either way… you’re joining the 8 lug life.

What really adds up are the lockers and gears etc. but once that’s handled, it’s really just a matter of bolting them in and dealing with the setup. That being...

15 minutes in and I’m telling enjoying it. Hoping to get through it all in one sitting before I have to be an adult again.
Seeing what Moby started as it’s just crazy. That is the jeep that started it all for me and, his progression has been nothing short of awesome.
