Project Yellow Jeep On 40s

An AGR hydraulic ram-assist decreases the steering effort required to turn the hefty tires in obstacles. The ram is secured between the axle and the drag link.

When all else fails, a Warn 9.5ti winch is ready to aid in extraction from sticky situations.

With nearly 60,000 miles on the odometer, the 4.0L I-6 engine is still running strong. A host of upgrades include Banks header and exhaust, a computer reflash, an Airaid intake, and Poweraid throttle-body spacer.

The Vanco hydro-boost braking system creates ample braking power for the Brute and is especially efficient at stopping the macho-size 40s.

Dual Optima batteries are situated in the stock location using a Kilby dual-battery tray. The batteries are wired using power cables and regulator from Wrangler Northwest Power Products.

A Kilby On-Board Air compressor is used to actuate the ARB Air Lockers. The compressor is also used to air up tires and operate air tools. The front bumper is sealed to act as an air tank.

The rear Dynatrac ProRock 60 uses 4.88 gears and ARB Air Locker. Driveshafts from Tom Wood's channel power front and rear and mate to the NP231J transfer case, which is equipped with Tera 4:1 gears and case half and an Advance Adapters SYE. The Rubicon Express long-arm suspension system is also shown, as is the Banks muffler.
