Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and a long arm kit

[Natethanastysnake666]

let me know when you go wheeling next!

[CnRDirt]

I currently have a 4" TeraFlex Short Arm, 33s, and a 1" body lift, im hoping to get the 4.5" Rubicon Express Long Arm, 35s and tube fenders. maybe even 36x13.50 iroks

[kuranintoki]

A woman would have driven around

[robertsotela]

@kuranintoki Not too sure about that one! Some obstacles are too good to pass up.

[vendeta412]

damn! look at that suspension!



[robertsotela]

I have had great success with Rubicon Express. Depending on what you plan to do with it, long arm is the way to go.

[zfreeman55]

awesome rig man! i had a 79 cj 5 but sold it when i got stationed in germany. but my next duty station is going to be ft. carson. first thing im doing is getting me another jeep. i think im going with a tj though so i dont have to spend as much on the jeep and have more money for mods. what lift do you think is the best to go with.

[robertsotela]

@zfreeman55 Really depends on what you plan on doing with the rig. Pro Comp makes great basic kits that will take you almost anywhere. A long arm kit is the best way to go. If you start off with a Rubicon Express superflex, you can always upgrade with their kits.

[newyorkman101]

I have a new 2011 wrangler unlimited sahara. i want to put long arms on it and wanted to know a few thing.

1) how long your long arms

2 what company makes them

3 did you put them on yourself

4 how much did it lift your jeep

5 where did you buy them

[robertsotela]

@newyorkman101 It's the 5.5" Extreme duty long arm kit by Rubicon Express, bought and installed at 4Wheel Parts in Albuquerque, NM. You can email me if you have any other questions. robertsotela@gmail.com

[balln81]

@newyorkman101 the full rubicon express long arm kit will cost you around 2 grandish i have the same lift on mine google rubicon express 5.5. If you have good knowledge of triangulation and a welder you should be fine if you dont i would suggest taking it to a good lift shop and having some one do it professionally. And obviously a quick disconnect front sway bar is must for doing stuff like this

[ed0985587]

thats insane haha

[sagarx]

trail damage....chicks dig it

[tje3891]

sick rig. need some highline fenders though so you dont rub

[boardingpass04]

i need to get me a jeep its gonna be my next toy i think

[duxante]

mate explain me something pls,i also love off road,but why do you go where you can obviously see that you can seriously fuck up your truck?

[stewhansens]

Check out the all new Wrangler Black Ops edition if you haven't already! It's awesome!

[SuperSqueelie]

I've got a 2000 jeep wrangler sport. about how much do you think this would cost? just parts

[Rancidkidd]

@SuperSqueelie

$2800 lift (prolly one of the best lift kits out there though)

$1500 rims + tires

$700 Ox locker Front

$700 Ox locker Rear

1000-1500$ Gears

So about $6500-$8000

Although could go cheaper route with cheaper lift, used tires, aussie lockers and gears well its a different world. So if you budget it out, maybe only $2-3000

[eiaestrada]

@Rancidkidd Your right on the money with your list. Add chromoly axle shafts, dana 44 axles front and rear, warn front and rear bumpers, rock sliders, k&n intake, banks header, gibson exhaust, winch, and the little stuff and you'll be ready to go.

[Darkyodajedi]

Well done, well done indeed. I was up in Taos last year and had quite a bit of fun in my Cherokee. Love the set up on your Rubicon...

[flenny]

bad spotters...seems like perfectly flat surface either side of that ditch to me, damn spotters put him in the worst path!!

[tachos69]

damn guys this is a BAD ASS JEEP....VERY GOOD VIDEO.

[EDog1o1]

0:30 thats how i park my jeep!!

[streakn]

Sorry, newb question for ya. What is the difference in the log arm suspension and the short arm?

[robertsotela]

@streakn Sorry it took so long to reply. This is a big question to answer briefly. A short arm kit will be closer to a stock suspension. Generally, they cost less and will be better for the daily driver. Long arm kits are designed to give more travel and allow the rigs to handle more difficult obstacles. You can find many websites dedicated to both systems and give full descriptions. Hope this helps. Contact me if you have any other questions. Thanks for viewing.

[godzillaisnuclea123]

@robertsotela are they just longer radius arms and trailing arms.

[PirateJeep]

Longer arms will give you a smoother ride and are supposed to give you more articulation although the LJ in this video doesn't seem to droop as much as I would have expected for a RE long arm kit...Robert mentioned that short arms are better for a daily driver, that is wrong, the difference on the road between the bounciness of short arms and smooth ride of the long arms is like night and day, we actually installed long arms on to my wifes Jeep to make it a better riding daily driver.

Cheers!

[ThinkMud]

Nice flex dude! love the RE Long arms!

[2grand4U]

you need longer shocks... good vid. lol.

[MaximD9]

Need some better spotters! Wouldnt have to do all that backing up! just sayin! Sweet Jeep tho nicely built !!! Keep on wheelin !!!

[robertsotela]

Lol! They did okay. I was really trying to show the flex of the suspension. If you watch part 2, it isn't exciting; but I get through without a problem.

Thanks for viewing!

[zenriderx]

Long arm for sure, good thing your buddies were there for the push ;D nice set up

[The87wrangler]

Sweet unlimited what kind of tires are you runnin on it?

[robertsotela]

35" Pro Comp Xtreme M/T's

[tavaumtavaum]

Nice Video and tires! I use 33'' Mud on my Troller

[IzZyTX1991]

@tavaumtavaum Troller?

[The87wrangler]

Thats also what I'm running on my 87.

[JEEPBEAST07]

This a awsome video I'm looking at upgrading to a tj and selling my highschool ride. And I'm in the market to buy a tj. And some upgrades. Obviously the rubicon express lift is awsome. Is it a 4 inch lift or a 6 and what tire size are you running. Thanks any help would be awsome thanks

[robertsotela]

Thanks for the feedback. This is a 5.5" rubicon long arm kit. I'm running 35" tires. You can squeeze 37" tires under it with different fenders, but you have rubbing issues when your flexing. TJ's are very capable out of the box. With 33" tires, you can get through tons.

[morganjake]

thats not an unlimited

[Qbynordi]

how is this NOT an unlimited, oh you probably think unlimited means 4 door. WRONG

[robertsotela]

2004 - 2006 Jeep LJ - Unlimited. They are two door wranglers with a longer wheelbase. Qbynordi may be right, you might be thinking of the new wrangler unlimited with four doors.

[mariof1982]

nice flex!!

5/5

[WKgetsome]

what kind of disconects do u have

[robertsotela]

I had the Rubicon Express disconnects, but never used them. I pulled my front sway bar off; I never hooked it up.

[bnsf7512]

nice jeep is it a stick?

[robertsotela]

Auto

[tonyaltn]

Thats a sweet rig...Im wanting a longarm kit under under my TJ. Gotta love that flex!

[xjoutkast]

how do you guys like the 15x8 inch rim?

Im still debating to go with a 15x8 or 15x10

[robertsotela]

I like 15x8, it keeps the tire on better when you air down.  15x10 would be better for mud or sand though, in my opinion.

[05RubiDank]

I like the 15x8 I run 35 12.50 SSRs on them and never have issues.

[xjoutkast]

what axles are under the jeep?

they look wider than usual

[robertsotela]

They are Genuine Gear Dana 44's. They are the same width as factory, just built a little better!

[xjoutkast]

what size rim and tires is on your rig

[robertsotela]

15x8 Wheels Pro CompXtreme alloys

35x12.50 r15 Pro Comp Xtreme M/T's

[oc2vegas420]

wtf you had that shit !!! cool vid n e wayz

[SuspectD3vice]

Dam those coils are flexin good.

[idriveaTJ]

Great flex at 1:19 and 1:50

[morito12345678]

love it at 1:50

[warwagonforhire]

Looks like fun! Nice LJ!

[jasperduf]

What kind of suspension/accessory is that? its really cool...somebody??

[robertsotela]

It's a Rubicon Express 5.5" Long Arm kit.

[tomstagz]

ps pump is having fun there for sure

[2grand4U]

got a question? do you have a front and rear ox locker? do you like the ox lockers? I want to get lockers for my zj and i dont know what to do.. Help me out hahaha..

Thanks

[robertsotela]

It really depends on what your doing with the Jeep. If it's going to be a daily driver, I'd recomend something you can disengage or a limited slip. It's easier to handle and will save your tires. I have them front and rear and I'm very happy with the OX lockers.

[mike6868]

is that with 4.5 or 5.5" springs?

[robertsotela]

They are 5.5" springs.

[RAMPAGE663]

very nice jeep...what size tires are those. i have a 2 door 2003 right now with a long arm suspension rig and 36" tires.again nice jeep!

[robertsotela]

These are 35's and I tuck them pretty good with the setup. Thanks!

[hellz4ngel]

i dont know anything about this sorta stuff but do u spent alot on like the suspension n that?

[robertsotela]

You can spend a lot as you build them up. Let's just say I've past my projected budget thousands ago!

[hellz4ngel]

ugh, i think ill stay clear then lol. thanks

[heyman87109]

That's insane!! Where in Espanola is this?

[robertsotela]

It was on private land. A friend of a friend's.

[meloneater]

what ring and p ratio? stock t-case?

[robertsotela]

Stock T-case, 4.88 gears.

[indiejeep]

That's one nasty crack.
