That would be TracTech's KJ, built by S&N Fab. There's pics of the build-up here; http://www.sn-fab.com/projects/tractech/page1.html |

well obviously that is awsome... but, looking at the pictures of it going together, a lot of the front suspension is very weak. But then again, I guess its a trailer queen not an off road machine. If someone would take that and spend some time welding in some better bracing... that lib would be the baddest trail rig EVER hahaha |

I saw it in person at last years Off Road expo and it was plenty trail worthy. The pics are showing it going together, not finished. It is a well put together rig and I'm sure it would wheel w/ the best or them. |

Which bits look weak to you? Admittedly I'm not suspension expert, but my understanding was the same as JJsKJ, that this isn't a Trailer Queen at all. |

I will take this statement back. This is what I was talking about: 
But later in the set I see where it is corrected: 
I'm not too much of a man to admit when I'm wrong haha |

I understand that the so called "demand" isn't there in mass numbers like getting a Wrangler lifted and made hardcore, but if they start making the product and getting a few people out there with the lift, people will see it and want it. Demand goes up. Taking the lift only to shows does not create demand. People want to see vehicles like that on the trails. Proven off-road and in view of others. A show tells people nothing and they are limited in the locations where the shows are done. Get some guinea pigs out there with the lift and expose it to the masses on the trails. Demand will rise. Only show it at shows, demand will not rise to needed levels. |

I don't think this thing can run with the front driveshaft in. In the pictures with it flexing it is not installed. And in the show picture it is installed but the angle is extrem. It looks like if it would get some tourque on it it would snap. |

Definitely not just a trailer queen. Actually they had that thing in off roading competitions. It's also for sale now. You can see from the front bumper that they beat the crap out of it (in more recent pics).

you are correct. You could run the rear in 4 low and the font in 4 high, or both in high or low, and ofcoarse independent neutrals, incase you want to go through a hole in frontwheel dive low =) |
