Default ZJ on Rockwells..

Ok guys, I'm following this build over on Great Lakes 4x4. I'm trying to get the builder to sign up here but he's a busy guy and might not have the time. So I figured it's something you guys would like to see..

Details, Zj with a 5.7 Hemi swapped in, exo-cage, 2 1/2 ton Rockwells, rear steer and rolling on 44" Boggers...

In my honest opinion, a "hemi" swap is a waste. Crappy mileage and not that much more power. For a swap in any XJ/ZJ would be CTD 4BT for me!

that thing is awsome
is it still considered a "queen" if you take it to beat it up on off road and the only way to get it there is on a trailer?

Ya but the rear steer isn't completely hooked up yet... If he sets it up like a monster truck he'll have independent control of the rear steer. Than you can steer tight or crab walk. Makes for some fun off road from what I've seen...
