What is the best truck configuration to run Blackbear? 4x4, 4x2, lockers, sway bars. I’ve heard a couple different opinions and would like to get opinions from actual experience. Thank you. Mark

I have two of the Blueridge Overland trash bags. The top is open. I keep recovery gear in one behind the driver seat and the other one is behind the pass seat and holds dog leashes, water bowl and poop bags. They are well built and work great.

Ive heard that before so my plan was to put the spare on the front . I know it would suck in a rain storm moving tires around. I may look at a narrow 35 for my spare. Thanks for the input. Mark

It’s time for new tires. I’m currently running the oem spare and I m debating getting a new spare to match all the other tires and wheels. One concern is the width of my tires will have my spare sitting lower affecting ground clearance. How many of you have a matching spare that you rotate on...

I also have a Warn winch and a variety of other gear. I like Factor 55, I have Bunker indust traction boards, Rhino straps, Crosby bow shackles. I like to stick with US made brand name gear with rating tags. They cost more but I feel better about them doing a recovery. Mark

So I just had a local shop install Katzkin covers on my front seats and now I have four warning lights on. The lights are drivers seatbelt, airbag, collision light and cruise control light. The shop said this was known to happen on newer vehicles and he was not able to clear it on his scanner...

So I finally settled on this option for now. I got a waste bag from Blue Ridge Overland and hung it over the drivers seat headrest. I keep a pair of gloves, a tree saver, two soft shackles, and a rope pulley. It’s handy, doesn’t encroach much on the dog s area and holds the necessities...

I have the Oracle. Really like the clean smooth look.

Great info! I also have a dog in the back with a rear seat delete, so I could have a small bag on the back of the drivers seat. Thanks!!

I used to store my recovery gear and winch controller in a box in the back of my Decked drawer until I gut stuck in a nose down position where I couldn’t open the drawer. So I considered getting the Reaper tailgate storage box to keep my recovery gear in, but I saw a video of a Wrangler stuck...

I mounted the Arb twin on the side wall of the bed, right rear corner and a 1.5 gal air tank underneath on the outside of the frame behind the right rear wheel. It’s a perfect fit, but a little tight to get at the hardware but workable. Mark

I also used the factory slider. I welded schedule 80 pipe using elbows and 1/4” bracing. I welded perforated plate for the front step and solid plate for the rear for our dog. I didn’t want him catching a nail in the perforated plate. I had the steps from my old Jeep so I welded brackets for...

Wow! A lot of great ideas and some phenomenal talent!!! Gives me a lot to think about to plan mine. Thanks guys. Mark

I’m installing the ARB dual air compressor with a 1.5 gal storage tank. I ve looked all over and cant seem to find a check valve that fits the ARB fittings. I don’t run air lockers and plan to use the system for airing up tires. Do I need a check valve? All the compressor s that I’ve seen have...

Way cool!

SWEEEET!!!

I had those swing boxes in my F350. I like them

What’s everyone using to store their gear. I have an open bed and carry a lot of gear. I had a Decked, but am looking for other options. Mark

Legacy Decked system, 2 drawers. Fits a 2020 Gladiator. Three years old, in great shape. Includes instruction book, tie down rails with four rings, two drawer dividers for each drawer, and drawer locks. There are small cracks around the screw holes for the ruler plate that I applied some...

It’s not pretty but it does the job
