I’ve never run airbags so I can’t speak to those. I run a Diamondback cover, front runner slimline over top of that, enclosed with paneling, 8 gallon waterport, OVS awning, 63qt fridge, slide out, 1 or 2 ROAM boxes, 1 or 2 additional NATO water cans, a massive recovery bag, house battery system...

I switched from 2.5 to 3. The main reason it to regain lost rake and compensate for additional weight. The truck does ride more stiffly and I guess handling is a little tighter. But these are still long soft springs for a truck. They will not change the Gladiator into a Miata. Additionally, I...

I got AAL ones so that I could easily access the side of the engine bay for doing work. I think all brands gain you vertical clearance if you trim off the inner fender where it lines the underside of the stock flare. Removing all of the internals of the stock flare is where people gain the most...

Personally, given the computer gremlins I’ve witnessed with this truck, I wouldn’t run my house battery control through my Aux switching. I’ve randomly lost my Aux switches on several occasions. For $207-$250 you can free up your Aux switch, eliminate having to remember to switch anything, only...

I finally finished my inflation hose storage. I had to use some construction adhesive to keep the mounts from sagging from the heat. I added some additional features, a mount for my impact driver and some cable management hooks on the other side. I completed a track for managing the...

Snap on power cord management for my ARB

I deleted my aux battery but another, even smaller coarser and darker one grew back on the other side of the engine compartment. I deleted that one too. Fingers crossed.

It’s looks awesome. I’m definitely heading there when I get my camper. Question: How are the no see ums and mosquitoes compared to Ocracoke, HI, etc p.s. I just got one of those fire pits. My propane one takes up too much space. I’m going to try to cook a pizza on it with charcoal as an...

That’s probably up to the interpretation of the Ranger. What does concern me, is that full electric vehicles are limited as to where their huge batteries can go, so they end up underneath the vehicle where they’re susceptible to damage. I think the 4xe is under the seat. But a full EV is...

Every off road place I’ve ever been where ATVs, motocross bikes or SxSs were operating was a totally destroyed, rutted out, wasteland, devoid or vegetation around the trails. I’m kind of amazed that any National Park would allow them. The places I’ve see were in cordoned off areas on private...

@clarkhogan reminds me of something important about these dc-dc chargers. Mine also includes the MPPT solar charger. While the alternator will charge both batteries, the dc-dc charger will also reverse charge the starting battery when on solar if the house battery is full. Mine does this all the...

Of course it is. . You can’t compare a Wrangler to a Subaru even if it does have more clearance. The Wrangler will handle whatever clearance it has far better with solid axles, skid plates, extended axle breather tubes, overall design. I guarantee you it has better approach, departure and...

It’s mostly not about AWD vs 4WD. It’s about clearance. They don’t want cars on trails, smashing their oil pans, requiring recovery and causing environmental damage. How many people on this forum wheel with a spill kit? Now how many Subi owners who randomly see a trail and say to themselves “hey...

There are some lithium starting batteries on the market with built in charge controllers to mesh with your electrical system. They’re designed to be starting batteries. I don’t think electrical system compatibility is an issue as others frequently state on this forum as long as they can deliver...

They seemingly sent you a well trained German Shepherd. I assume the boxes are full of glucosamine chews.

I can’t stress enough how important final torque, tightening pattern and how you bring them up to torque, is. If you’ve ever built or trued a spoked bicycle wheel the bolts work similarly to the spokes. Tightening a bolt, like tightening a spoke nipple affects both its immediate neighbors and...

Folks should follow the manufacturers recommendations. KMC says “no anti seize”, so don’t use it on their wheels. AEV says “apply anti seize, so use it on their wheels. I used it and I’ve never lost torque. I’ve had to remove the ring and break the outer bead to replace valve stems and had zero...

I love them. I originally wanted the machined versions but 5 of those were impossible to find and I’d still like them in bronze with the red Jeep. AEV doesn’t make it easy. Their site shows a matte black version that doesn’t exist. They used to show multiple colors but only some versions were...

I keep it folded up with my tools under the rear seat in my @813 Fabrication & Design basket.
