Tell Us About Your ROXOR Journey

[Bob R1]

We really could stand a lot more of you posting about your ROXOR Journey. We have quite a few people reading posts, but not nearly as many contributing material for the rest of us to read. We have had lots of members come and go over the years. When I first started reading and looking at ROXOR's back in 2018 it seemed to me like we had a lot more posts to read on here. Lots of the early owners have dropped off the forum over the years. That is a lot of knowledge lost for the rest of us. We could stand a lot more posts on what you have done to your ROXOR. I have not seen a new post on a heater installation in a while. How about an EGR Delete on a 2.7L. We are starting into warmer weather, tell us what work you are doing on your ROXOR.

I did a walk around video the other month

I also did one of the Trekmaster trailer I bought.

In the near future I’m gonna do another one showing the tauler jack in action and I’m hoping to get some new trail footage soon to add to the channel. I have some trail clips from before the long travel lift and some with it. The EJS 22 videos are all old suspension and the ones done after 2024 are with the long travel.

If there’s anything you want better footage of let me know. I’ll go and film it and talk about it. What I’m finding is there isn’t much on modified Roxors out there aside from here and a few Facebook groups. For that matter there isn’t much on roxors in general anywhere. I believe a lot of the early content here was partially due to covid. Everybody looking to get outside and bored with the lockdowns. Then the lawsuits put a damper on our fun and everyone became worried about parts availability. Glad that’s been sorted out. Let’s all get back to having fun and building these Roxors.

Seeing everything that the Jack can do would be great. I have owned a Hi-Lift Jack since 1973. The Tauler Jack looks to be much safer to use, not to mention more compact. Mounting Options would be great material for the post also. Keep up the good work.

Ok. The weather is getting better so I'm sure the adventures will start up.
We took ours out this weekend for the first time this year. Went to Lake Sullivan in Paulden AZ. As you can see, not much of a lake. But in Arizona I believe anything over 50 gallons is called a lake. Where I come from it was called a mud puddle.

This week I just finished a much thought about and desired gear and locker install on my 2019 Roxor.
The unit came with 3.73 ratio gears and with the 33” tires I was running was not geared correctly at all. I had to shift into Low range and cruise around in 3rd or 4th in much mud or difficult terrain and the lack of lockers was very frustrating when I lost traction in not very difficult terrain. Needless to say, my Warn winch got a lot of work.
I contacted the great folks at On The Rox and discussed my thoughts. I wanted to switch to 4.56 gearing and employ positive traction units front & rear. The guy I talked to was very knowledgeable about Roxor and driveline work. We decided that a new gearing carrier ( chunk) was needed to use the Torq Locker posi-trac units. I bought a pair of Yukon standard Cases for gearing 3.92 and higher, USA Standard 4.56 ratio Ring & Pinion gear sets, and a pair of TORQ Lockers for 19 spline axles. I also bought the 2 needed Yukon Install kits for a Roxor that consisted of gear shims, hubseals, axle seals and gaskets. This all ran about $2300. I got a local Mahindra tractor dealer to do the install for $700 an axle. Not too bad in my opinion.
I’m pleased with the install and the result is phenomenal. I could climb a tree if traction was there! I did not install front lock out hubs as my unit won’t ever see asphalt. A quick purchase of $150 hubs is all I need to change this and the install is easy.
The TORQ Lockers are great and rarely “pop or clunk”. The steering effortl is harder as each wheel pulls for traction, but thats to be expectedin 4WD. Thumbs outside the steering wheel!
I can drive around in 2WD and the effort in nominal.
I live in Alabama and do not rock crawl. I mainly use my unit in dirt, mud and off-piste terrain hunting and playing and I’m totally pleased with the results. I did not feel the HD 30 spline axle mod was necessary. I did not go all out on the gearing - the tire size equated a lower gearing around 4.88 to 5.36, so I got a happy median (4.56) as our property is quite large and I drive a lot of dirt roads/jeep trails at 45-50mph till I turn off to the nasty stuff and then drop the transfer case down to 4WD High or Low as needed.
Earlier I had a 1-1/2” lift installed, a 2.5 turbo diesel chip and cold air intake and an aftermarket free flow exhaust.
Very pleased with my Ted Nugent Roxor unit and much prefer it to an expensive cab side by side.
I hope this helps anyone thinking about driveline mods for their Roxor. Happy to answer any questions.
Anyone want some 3.73 stock highway running Mahindra gears to exchange their 5.36s ? I had 541 miles on my set. Gearset carriers too. 19 spline.
I’m assuming that this thread is the correct place to post this. Monitors can repost in a more Technical thread if desired.

Nice!

One thing I would like to see posted is a very in depth article on a Heater Installation on a 2.7L Roxor.
I have looked a little, and about every article is about the older 2.5L Roxor heater installation.
