I have been wanting a 1000 Renegade for a while.. so I have come to the conclusion, why not just build one from the ground up the way I want it? Found many bare chassis online for pretty cheap with a title. I don’t want to keep modifying my 800 xmr and make it unreliable. I pretty much have it where I’m happy with it.

Here what I am thinking on a Gen 2 Gade. Bare chassis to start, 1000 Mav motor, Mav rear diff with Cfab brace kit, front diff with halo locker, I can source alot of the other stock parts used. Like DPS, harness, fuel tank ,etc etc. Probably a 4" lift, GP shocks, New plastics, and everything else I can upgrade.

Will be a slow project. What I am wondering about is the trans. Alot of people are putting the 6×6 trans in their mavs for the gear reduction. I’m wondering if the 6×6 trans has more gear reduction then the 800 xmr or 1k xmr?

What do u think? This would be a true monster. I would think it will be cheaper then buying a running Gade and tearing it down.
