Well I got the Jeep together today..I finnally put the Rubi TCase in..The big test will be Saturday..A buddy of mine and I are taking the Jeeps to Hollister for one last run before I leave to come home...Should be fun since Lisa is going to be out here this weekend to go with..Anyhow here are a couple pics of me testing the new locker and TCase...It seams to work just fine...By the way those are 35s on the silver Jeep that I climbed right up..

The Rubi case is a 4 to 1 as opposed to the 2.73 to 1 of the stock TJ.. Just a little better crawl ratio..

Talk about sucking with a capital S ...I got 5 minutes into wheeling today and I notice the temp starting to rise and the next thing I know I hear a big pop...The Tstat stuck and blew the complete top off of the radiator..I have never seen anything like it...I though for sure a hose would blow before the top would blow apart but I guess the hose is a little tougher than a plastic radiator tank..
