[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 549330, member: 3779"] The last time I took my jeep out. I followed 3 rockwell rigs around witc. All CSC buggies ( Jerod yankeys white one, poison ivy, and a blue one) and they all walked every obstacle. At the time I was on the fence about building a LP 60 or rocks. According to the all mighty Internet, rocks are too heavy junk. However, I watched them walk up obsticles that one tons where struggling on or breaking. So that's when I decided to try rocks. Pros: The gearing is perfect. Brakes work awesome. I mowhawked them for $50 each. I have spare shafts. If I break them more than twice I'll do oversons. (Which cost about the same as 60 shafts) Rear steer is stupid easy. Driveshafts are protected Cons: Turning radius sucks May may be heavier than a trussed 60. Not sure. Hard to get low unless your building a tube chassis. Overall I love them. I'm not sure what the budget comment was in regards to. Up untl the tube rework I don't think you could build a "bouncer" any cheaper. Besides aproximitly $1300 in used coilovers and springs. Which was the cheapest I could do coilovers. I guess you could do regular springs and white shocks but I wanted coilovers. I don't see how to do it any cheaper. Edit: I just noticed the title says "budget rockwell" not "budget bouncer" like I tought it said. But my comment still is valid. I believe [/QUOTE]
