Max’s Roxor Build

Many people complained about the Exide batteries that came in the LE roxors. Mine is definitely on the way out but it’s a 2018 and has certainly been put through it’s paces. I have no complaints, but I did want to go to something with a lot more kick for heave winching.

Roxor specs a group 24 battery. One of the better sizes for capacity but that comes at a cost, weight. While swapping to a group 34 battery doesn’t make a huge weight difference, dropping 10 lbs here and there has made a big overall difference.

The XS 3400 battery fit right in the original mount but i did trim the hold down bar to keep it a safe distance from the terminals.

While normally a Odyssey battery guy, the specs on this battery are pretty impressive. We will see how it holds up.

The storage solution I had pictured is slowly coming to fruition. 2 bins mounted on either side with Milwaukee pack out attachment on top to add a cooler and tool boxes. In between will be a aluminum 1.5 ton jack that will have a quick disconnect mount that is super secure and rattle free.

The entire thing is modular so it can be moved around and reconfigured quite easily. It can also be removed completely with 4 wing nuts and the back seat can then be quickly clipped back in.

Its hard to put it into pictures. I may have to do a YouTube video on the whole set up.

This may be something I could produce in the future if there is enough interest.

Yeah the steering gear in the Roxor is pretty light duty it appears. I would think you might wanna bearing brace it like the "Dodge Steering Fix".

wayyyyyy back on page 2 @jrobz23 suggested a steering brace because the steering box could be a weak link… and I said no way the box is strong ?‍♂. Well the box was strong the frame was week. But if I had that brace I probably would have made it further at hammers In 2021.

Made a few changes. But basically haven’t had to touch a thing in 2 years since the last hammers besides steering. Don’t fix what isn’t broke! Just freshening up everything and putting a wrench on every single bolt.

Some of you might enjoy that the first thing you see when you walk in the new house is a 79 Cherokee golden eagle hood. I based the whole room off of the hood. The wife was skeptical but he loves how my vision pulled together.

Copy and pasted from facebook....

Another King Of the Hammers on the books. Unfortunately no win for us this time. We had a catastrophic transmission failure that took us out of the race. I’m sure if I had the Torque King transmission installed i would be coming to you with a different outcome. Huge shout out to Wade LaLone At Diesel Freak, On the Rox Fabrication, Raceline Wheels, Retro Graphics, Cecco Racing and all of those that have bought any Climax Offroad product. A special thanks to anyone that purchased a Team 4668 hat from Wade. You guys Rock! We will be back to fight another day. ROXOR Off Road.
