I woke up this morning, saw this thread, drove down to our local dealer and they had 3 to test drive. I chose the fully loaded rubicon and it was pretty cool. The thing was definitely peppy on stock wheels and tires and still pulls at 75 on the highway. I wasn’t really thinking about the data...

Dream on your own time. We want results on this forum! Haha, but I did resently see a video (maybe from tfl) where a guy built a hard top that encompassed the bed. He said the flex at that junction wasn’t nearly as bad as he expected and I’m sure we can figure something out with our soft tops.

The engineers are usually just given a set of requirements to design and test towards. If the goal is to just last the warranty period, then that’s what you’re going to get. Newer Mercedes are known for systems miraculously failing shortly after the standard lease period and I’d bet money this...

Haha that’s fair, I remember hearing that the penta star (or maybe just v6s in general) is particularly well suited for start stop because they can precisely stop the motor with a cylinder primed and ready to fire, reducing strain on the starter system. @Sazabi19 brings up a good point I...

The only thing that bothers me with the ESS is that the motor starts when you shift to park. So if you pull in the drive way and hit the brakes—ESS kills the motor—then you shift to park—motor comes back on—then turn off the key—motor stops again. There should be at least 5 seconds in park...

Any chance we could get this photoshopped on the full truck. It’s an interesting idea

How do these fair over time in the heat and UV? That’s my only concern with the fdm and may be worth paying a little extra for nylon SLS adapters.

More weight always sucks off road. Lucky it’ll be down low and maybe not a total dealbreaker. I’m curious to see if the extra weight hurts the gas only performance on these vehicles. Otherwise I don’t see much of a downside on-road.

I went with a similar installation. Super easy install after drilling the hole.

I just installed a redarc control here and the little dial is the only interface you need. I waited for the molar controller, but couldn’t stomach giving up my only 12v outlet.

Holy shit. She's absolutely gorgeous! I never would have thought of this color combo, but it works beautifully. How much of a lift did you go with here? Also, did you make the vinyl graphics or is this a part of some package?

Haha... It’s a pack of Pokémon stickers the neighbor kids put on to hide my dumb mistake.

A friend I was with took this on Saturday. Her first “insta” style appearance:

100% would let the dealer figure it out if its the factory bed liner.

Just curious, would this rack preserve the collapsibility of the softopper? It’d be nice if we could collapse the topper without removing the rack for tall loads or loading bikes/ ATVs.

Haha a little bit, but mine has started to whistle at higher free way speeds (~85mph). Around here traffic is pretty slow so I rarely see those speeds, but I don’t remember ever hearing it before and I’d like to figure out if it’s a fitment or wear thing.

I love this truck, but it sure is noisy in the triple digits. I’m going to try some ideas to fix it this week, but if anybody has suggestions, I’m all ears.

Any idea how much it’d cost to ship out to northern California?

I guess my concern wouldn’t be right now, but mine looks pretty similar and I don’t plan on wheeling any less going forward. Are some easy precautions I should take now so my frame isn’t compromised at 150k miles? Sounds like a light brushing, rust oleum and a coat of fluid film are a pretty...
