Long term reliability and added performance. The modern def systems aren’t good for longevity especially if you idle or run low rpm’s. Last time I did a multi day offroading trip I burned a full def tank on my 4 hour drive home.
This is my biggest concern. I will likely clone a backup ECU and keep all my stock parts. It should be fairly easy to reverse the delete when I sell it or if anything catastrophic were to happen while it is still under warranty.
I haven't tested the Baja Legends but I had a set of Baja Boss AT's on my last vehicle. They were by far the best AT tire I've driven. Quiet, great road manners and were incredible off road. Tons of traction, cleared well and didn't throw a ton of rocks. They also look very aggressive for an AT...
Yeah I’m definitely on the fence. I have no emission regulations in my county and I’m pretty sure the dealer will already give me a hard time about warranty. I’d keep all the parts to reverse the delete and I’d clone an ecu on the off chance something catastrophic happened. Im just curious what...
Does anyone have experience doing a Def/Egr /dpf delete on the Ecodiesel? I don’t want to lose my warranty but at the same time the dealer could easily not honor my warranty with my current build.
That’s interesting. Never even considered that when I purchased mine. In my short experience, the synthetic rope looks brand new. We’ve had a huge winter and I’ve been driving in salted/snow covered roads a ton. I’d imagine a metal line wouldn’t be in as great of shape with all the salt and...
Are you mounting it in the rear bumper? I don’t think you’ll have any issues with a good synthetic line but that’s just an opinion. I have no data points on which is more weather durable. Worst case scenario you change the line every few years but I doubt that’s necessary.
Just curious why you’d think it being on the back would make a difference? Mines on the front and it’s constantly sprayed with road debris from the cars in front of me. I have a synthetic line and have used it many times this winter to pull people out. It’s in as good of condition as it was new...
One factor that's very unclear is the difference in ground clearance LOST by these various skids.
Presumably, the Artec and Next Venture kits give up the least clearance, at least near the gas tank, because installation removes the OEM gas tank skid. But it's hard to determine specifics...
I'd keep the 5th tire as a spare if you can't find a match. You could get all 5 wheels powder coated to match as well if you really wanted to rotate a 5th tire.
For those of that you replace a lot of windshields I have read good things about this product:

I haven't purchased one yet, but they are warrantied. A bit pricey but a lot cheaper than multiple windshields.
That’s epic. I was searching for one of these for a long time. Where are you located? And if you don’t mind me asking, how much did that cost to get fabricated?
I think it depends on how much of a build you want to do. If you are considering going to one ton axles, then in my opinion, you should start with a sport s. If you don’t want tons and you don’t care about a front locker then the Mojave is by far the best. Comes with fox 2.5s so no need to...
