Roxor build

[plumbstraight]

Been away a while. I picked up a 2019 new. Took all the cage and windshield off. Built a cab and installed a cj windshield, rollbar, military tires, etx blinkers and made a set of rock sliders to step in and protect the skin. Put on some stars and painted my gi number down the side of the hood. They didn't have my color tan or od green bummer, so I'm navy gray lol.

Might add that I had it chipped and restricter taken off. I'm sure there a lot of them out there that have had this done. Has over 100hp and runs out flat and straight at 84mph according to gps.
Went out playing with 55 "jeeps", wound up pulling out 7 that couldn't make up a couple of hills. Was a fun day. I did take off the mil tires and put on a set of 30x10x15 atv grippers and aired down to 10lb in the sand.

It looks like you are having fun with your Roxor.
I thought I might end up using my recovery gear Monday on a soft creek bottom. Just putting it in 4x4 saved the day, and it crawled right out. The flooding over the winter had piled up lots of loose rock in the creek bottom. The steep trail getting to the creek bottom also had lots of loose rock.
I will get to use the winch probably this coming weekend. I have a couple trees to cut out of a fence row. I will need to keep them off the fence. The wife will be out of action for a few more weeks, so I may need to get a Cordless Remote for the Badlands Winch. This looks like a good excuse to get the Remote Control.

Yes, the roxor has been a fun vehicle to have. May 20th I will be going to the beach for clean up day. They figure on 2500 jeeps showing up. As mine has been modified a bit most folks don't know what it is. Just think it is a nice older unit. So glad I have the 3.73 gearing as I'm able to keep up with traffic and still be able to just let it idle over rougher terrain. I'm not into rock crawling or putting super oversize tires on it. Too hard on the axles. I hope they upgraded them for the extra torque of the 5.38 gearing they have now.

They are Dana 44 I thought ?

Dana 44 clones. You can break anything but I've not heard of any diff failures yet. Except Max I believe blew his apart, most of us dont do what @Max A. does.

I wish Max would go back to playing with a Roxor. I miss his build posts.

This year I'm going to start a 77cj build. I have one I picked up with a 304 3sp. It is rusted out beyond compare lol. See through every panel. Was used as a snow plow so lots of salt.
At a jeep rondevous I mentioned I needed a tub. One fellow told me that he knew of a fellow with a mint one. Just frame up with extra hoods and wind frames. Going to go look and pick it up most likely. Will take it down to bare metal and give it the treatment. Take it down to the frame and make it new from the brakes up, lines and all. Will be a fun, though frustrating, build I am sure.
