I went wheeling this weekend as part of the Ozark Overland Adventure Patreon meet up.
Noticed a pretty bad clunk on the front end when the sway bar was disconnected.
Hard to tell any further than that but Iād say it was when I was turning slowly, with some droop on the front wheels. I.e...
Ha! Iāve seen that truck before. Itās pretty cool but no way would I ever own one. Iāll take something that was actually designed for daily(ish) driving
Thatās where I first saw it too. Honestly I should have just gone the harbor freight from the start.
Agree with you on taking the bumper on and off. I was lucky to have help the first time it went on. Not so lucky the second time. My garage was rated R
I did resolve it. I sold the winch and went and bought a harbor freight one!
I do believe that the Arcus bumper is very close to the grill. The way the badlands sits, the cable comes out the back and is HARD against the grill. A few people drill through the side of the box and reroute it but...
Iāve been noticing what I thought was condensation streaks on the back window over the past month of so.
Well I went through the car wash this morning and yup, window leak coming from the top.
I know thereās been MANY people with this same issue.
Is there a definitive fix for this? Canāt get...
These are what I bought. @ā22JTRD gave me great help with them. Thereās a little nub on the back thatās easy to cut off, you do have to cut the opening of the bumper shell slightly too.
Im not handy at all and I managed it haha
Illegal in Arkansas to have any sort of flashing light on your vehicle, unfortunately. I was contemplating rigging up a flasher to my spots, front and rear
GET OFF THE ROAD.
Sorry to hear that someone you know died.
Highways are no place to mess around outside of your vehicle. Iāve only once had a flat while moving. That happened in the UK. I drove an extra 1/4 mile or so, on the shoulder, slowly.
If I absolutely had no other choice but to stop...
I grew up in a family that loved old school Defenders. I learnt to drive in a 90. The new ones just look like every other fat suv out there. Give me a brick with no airbags :CWL: In all honesty though, the new ones are a great place to sit. Iād take one on a road trip over a Gladiator
So my two year old grabbed hold of a ladder that was leaning against the garage wall and pulled it over onto the Gladiator.
Cracked the tail light, small dent on the crease.
Iām actually shocked at how little damage it did! The ladder hit at almost 45° and was moving fast. A few inches to the...
We arenāt on land, just a quiet cul de sac in Maumelle, Arkansas. We have a 5 bedroom house with 3 bathrooms and are always up for drop in guests. Talking to someone other than my 2 year old is enjoyable :CWL:
Iām running 35 Ridge Grapplers. Love them. Theyāre tougher than the stock tires but Iām also probable a few psi too high still. Done probably 5k on them and theyāre great. Not noisy at all
