This Dana 30 has now been replaced with a beefed-up JK Rubicon 44 modified to accept an ARB Air Locker, with RCV axleshafts and Yukon 5.13 gears. Even with this 30, the Red Hot LJ was able to perform amazing feats.

Aluminum tube fenders are from GenRight.

Bryce powdercoated OE JK Rubicon wheels and mounted LT37X12.50R17 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain KM2 tires on them. Spidertrax wheel spacers are reliable and get the wheel/tire combo spaced where they need to be.

Aluminum tube fenders are from GenRight.

Departure is no problem with this carrier.

GenRight rocker guards protect the LJ’s flanks.

The swing-down spare carrier from GenRight attaches to the frame and to the reinforced GenRight corners.

Savvy’s aluminum front bumper is good looking, lightweight, and strong. The Savvy hoop is a great place to mount the Rigid LED lights.

Bryce mounted the rear shock reservoirs to the top of the frame.

A Warn M6000 short drum winch is lightweight but strong enough to extricate those who call on the Red Hot LJ to help them get out of a bind.

Bryce had to turn the oval muffler to vertical to clear the long control arms. TeraFlex SpeedBumps help soften high-speed impacts.

The JK Rubicon rearend has an Eaton Detroit Locker, Yukon 5.13 gears, and a TeraFlex cover. A TeraFlex gas tank skid protects the gas tank.

TeraFlex’s slip-yoke eliminator and 2-Lo kit improve the NP231 transfer case.

Bryce built his own custom long control arms that have stood up to unbelievable abuse.

TeraFlex coil springs and SpeedBumps, and Fox 2.0 reservoir shocks work in perfect harmony.
