    Default Finally, a REAL Jeep...

    Automatic Wranglers with A/C is in the top 5 most hated vehicles by me, you won't find any of that here

    Has a 350 from a '98 chevy pickup, for $1,500 more it's gonna have 4 wheel steering...I just love Scrambler's, longer wheelbase and much smoother ride...

    bascially that axle looks like something out of a dumptruck or semi truck. normally those have gigantic drum air brakes that wouldn't ever fit inside those wheels, so the brake on the end of the driveline allows him to still use rear brakes without all kinds of crazy work to stick them in the normal locations. that, and on a rock crawler you never really break 10mph, so it's not like you need a shit ton of braking power, just enough to stop the thing when needed at low speeds.

    Looks fun, I've never been huge on dedicated trail vehicles though. It's more fun to have a versatile truck I can take trips with IMO.
