100% ... just because the market has been stupid that last two years doesn't make it the norm, but the exception. If you chose to purchase within that time you need to be able to sleep at night knowing that you are probably upside down. I paid $43k in 20' ... so far have dumped in another $15k...
Nothing wrong with bolt on, but I do prefer frame mounted. Dump the Rubi Sliders and frame mount those puppies... this will also preserve your sanity from having to deal with those body mount bolts.
Interesting ... they changed the bolt style. Mine in my 20' is standard. Definitely lock-tited ... I don't recall if these run all the way through the floor boards ... if so you might try heating from the bottom side.
Unless you have accessories requiring the increase Amh capacity I would simply delete your AUX and upgrade your starter. I did this over a year ago with an Odyssey 48-720 and it's performed and held up just fine ... and that includes periods of decently heavy winching.
I'm not too overly critical of the in-cabin tech ... what impacts me more is the is the tech that improves the off road capability. My buddy drives a Taco, so we regularly get to compare the two side by side. It's not an uncommon event where my JT walks right through a section (un-locked) and...
I'm currently running the Racing Optics film ... it's a three layer system similar to a tear off system used on helmets. So far I'm pretty impressed ... we were down in Southern Utah a few weeks back and I took a solid rock hit on the drivers side ... no chip or crack.
Sounds like your trying to warranty your batteries ... that's equivalent to trying to warranty brake pads.....
AUX delete and upgrade your starter battery
Most light options serve really only one purpose... and that's extracting $$$ from your bank acct . My lighting is from Heretic ... a set of 2 pod ditch lights and 4 pods on the bumper. I rarely ever use them..... like in three years I've probably legitimately only used them twice. However, I...
You can buy siping tools on Amazon and sipe them yourself which in my experience makes a big difference and can extend tire Winter service life, but your tread depth is on the bubble. I would probably opt to just replace .... the AT3's are good tires, but 40k tires at best.
Don't disconnect any fuses ... if you opt for the AUX delete I suggest watching the Genesis Dual Battery install for the 2021+ ... the re-wiring is the same whether your installing one of their systems or simply deleting the AUX. Always wrap an insulator around the pos until the AUX is out of...
There is an unmeasurable amount of stupid on the roads these days .... we recently visited my son in Memphis... it was obvious that most people deem their choice of transportation as disposable.
