No, I took the upper bypass. I guess my wording of driving into the box was miss leading. I meant drove out to it. I don't think running it would be a good for her straight body, especially without rock sliders. I was hoping to watch someone run it, I hungout there for a while, but everyone else was driving around too.

ok...I think yer my new hero.... I've had mine on the trail but not on a nationally known trail. I took the jeep when I did the Rubicon a few years back. Post up the specs of yer rig...Looks real good!

Thanks. Here's some specs: 1967 F250, 460, 435, 203 doubler, 205, hp dana 60 with arb, 14 bolt with detroit locker, crossover highsteer with ram assist, 39.5" Iroks, york compressor.

This last weekend was the first time I've taken it on the Rubicon. No mechanical problems other than my clutch linkage fell off somewhere out towards spider lake. I didn't have any spare cotterpins but I manage to get it reattached with some wire and a nail.

Looks good! I'm a little suprised the body of your truck doesn't twist more articulated like that. It looks really straight in all the pictures. I've had the bed hit the cab on my '70 twice and I doubt what I took the truck through was as rough as what you went through there.

How much and what kind of lift are ya runnin or did you do something custom? I know I can go bigger than the 36's that are on it now with the 4" Skyjacker kit but not sure how much bigger... Every truck is different but I'm curious what other people have done...

It's all custom. I'll take some pictures and post them when I get a chance.

My bed has hit my cab a little too, but I think it twists less since the rear springs are moved under the frame.
