Moab tested

[Roxasuras]

Currently in Moab!
The Roxor did incredible. Good power, strong up hills, very impressed and pleased. I did a cold air intake cat delete, new exhaust, boost gauges, and egt gauge. I am gonna tune it next. Any suggestions on tunes? I think I am heavily leaning towards the Vivid racing stage II.

Really like your wheel & tire choice. What sizes are they?

Thank you the wheels are 16X5.75 Willys look and the tires are 750 - 16 Firestone NDT Cokers 8 ply. What do you have?

My tight budget has still kept me from buying a Roxor yet, but it will come. I really like the vintage look of the tall and narrow.

Thank you, me and my Dad were both in the Marines, so it was a tribute to him.

When you do get one, you will be extremely pleased with it. Performed beyond my expectations.

Roxasuras, did you have any fitment issues with the tires and wheels or lift your Roxor? Are the tires DOT street legal? And downside to the tires vs. the stock tires. Interested in how the handle in rain on pavement. I love the entire look of your set up!!!!

 

[Roxasuras]

Hey Cobra,
No issues at all. I didn't lift it, the new tires are about 3" taller than the factory ones. They are street legal; however, they do not give them a speed rating just weight, they are NDT tubed tires. They are better than i expected, but not as smooth as the factory ones, but overall extremely pleased with them.

Proud of you both!

PS. During my two-year long service in the Greek Navy I had the opportunity to work together with US Navy personnel at the US Nea Makri naval base near Athens. The Greek Navy still used Willys M38 at that time (1988), to the the delight of our American comrades...

Are you Greek?
We are Greek-American

 

[Ol'schooljeeper]

Are you Greek?
We are Greek-American

Yes I do
... and what a nice surprise to hear that your family has roots in Greece too!
Kalimera (good morning, for our Roxor friends that "it is Greek to them")!

 

[Cobra1169]

I married a Greek-American does that count?

Sure, mate and as I gather this salutation "is not Greek to you" anymore, you don't need the above cited translation!

 

[Cobra1169]

Did you find a source with great pricing on the wheels & tires?

 

[gpfred]

i did vivid stage one tune--- sending it in -- should have went with stage two right off the bat--- good choice

 

[Roxasuras]

Kalimera, yes it counts, we call it Greek by marriage.

Gpfred-I just did the complete stage II from vivid racing, and like probably everyone else I broke the nipple on the waste gate, now getting fixed.

Cobra- I got my wheels from summit about 115 ea. Free shipping & tires from Firestone, about 125 each Free shipping.

I love them and get tons of compliments.

I'm just jealous of you guys because of the food.

 

[Roxasuras]

I do love our food, most of it. We actually have our Greek festival here in Salt Lake City this weekend.

 

[Roxasuras]

Another American with !00% Greek heritage. We just finished our annual Holy Trinity Church Greek Food Festival. Thousands attended. That USMC Roxor looks great. Thanks for your service to our country. Can you envision the our armed forces utilizing these USA-assembled vehicle as an inexpensive general purpose diesel-powered transportation? I know, they already did that with the original Jeep. I realize they already have the combat specific Growler m1161 and fast attack light strike vehicles as well as SUVs and light pick-up trucks but equipped properly, these Roxors could replace many of the SUV/pick-up truck tasks. It would be a lot cheaper to buy, run and maintain than the current Jeep and Tahoe offerings. Oh well, just wishful thinking!!!

Where in western PA are you at?
