rat Patrol Jk 2011 Jeep Wrangler - p3 Airsoft Minigun - Photo 48513048

Back to Article

The P3 Airsoft Minigun is based on the GE Vulcan Minigun, fires 50 rounds per second, and is lethal within 50 feet when it’s loaded with BBs.

The wimpy Jeep JK Dana 30 frontend was replaced by a Tera44 front housing. The Tera44 has the knuckles and pinion angle rotated for use in a lifted Jeep. Its bigger-diameter tubes are strong yet relatively lightweight. RCV CV axles, Poly Performance ball joints, 5.13 gears, and an Eaton ELocker complete the package. The Expedition One Rubi Skid would protect the Rubicon’s SmartBar sway-bar disconnect, if this JK had one. On the Rat Patrol JK, the Rubi Skid cleans up the area under the front bumper.

The 4-inch TeraFlex coils in the front and 6-inch coils in the rear keep the Rat Patrol JK on an even keel. TeraFlex SpeedBumps and Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks with proprietary TeraFlex valving help the Jeep work great in the backcountry.

TeraFlex’s Pro LCG long-arm suspension comes complete with all bracketry required.

Sometimes simple is best. The stock track bar works fine with the raised TeraFlex rear track bar bracket. The JK’s OE Dana 44 rear has 5.13 gears and an Eaton ELocker.

A Superchips TrailDash allows complete control of the JK’s tuning as well as providing a view screen for the front and rear Alpine cameras.

An Expedition One full-width JK bumper protects the front of the Rat Patrol JK.

Sparco racing seats keep driver and passenger in place when the going gets rough.

The Superwinch Talon 12.5i is equipped with Viking Offroad synthetic winch line, safety thimble (Viking was the originator of safety thimbles), and Viking aluminum hawse fairlead.

Expedition One’s rear bumper with tire carrier has their optional Geri can carrier and Geri cans. The original Long Range Desert Group carried plenty of petrol for their desert forays. James’ JK is able to carry plenty, as well.

Expedition One Rocker Guard steps provide complete rocker protection.

E1RP001 stands for Expedition One Rat Patrol Vehicle #001. The 57HA stands for 57th Helicopter Ambulance detachment (Dustoff). This unit saw action in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The co-owner of Expedition One, James’ dad, flew dustoff missions in Vietnam as a Captain, U.S. Army. While this doesn’t have anything to do with the LRDG, it pays homage to all who served and adds a personal component for James. TP12 stands for Tire Pressure 12. The scorpion in a wheel with LRDG stands for Long Range Desert Group, a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during WWII. While it was a British unit, allied soldiers from many countries participated. The U.S. flag, Expedition One, and 4WHEEL DRIVE & SPORT UTILITY MAGAZINE stickers need no explanation.

Magpul Masada ACR Airsoft rifles are carried in Kydex holsters.

The 37x12.50R17LT Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar tires are mounted on 17x8 Hutchinson Rock Monster bead lock wheels. The Rock Monster wheels are DOT-approved and extremely strong. However, they’re too heavy and are difficult to assemble and disassemble.

The Expedition One swingaway tire carrier features one-touch operation and opens along with the tailgate. It’s strong and rattle-free. Expedition One invented this design.
