LOL I don't remember the WARN rep I was talking to years ago, but he told me the average customer only needs to pull their vehicle 3.5' to get out of trouble and the best location for a recreational winch is in the rear (I really like the multi mount concept, but doesn't work on a full size...

I would be game for a trip. I am retiring from the Army right now, but I start burning leave in Dec through Jan. I will be in Johnson Valley for a couple of weeks before KOH supporting a race team (commo.) But I would be game after that. I think I will be a bit of a wonderer with the truck...

mmmmm. 42s. I have a set of 42" Treps for my truck. They are my cruising around tires for KOH this year. I would be game for a trip to the pan handle. I am in the process of retiring right now, but I start burning leave in Dec through Jan. then we will be in Johnson valley testing for a...

I'll play. Making 41's look small since March 2018 lolol ......

That sir is sexy. Makes me want to ditch my Conti. MPT81s for a set of 42" I-Rocks and a flat bed. mmmmmmmm.. flat bed 4 door prospector XL, diesel with all the goodies.... Sadly, I may have to sell my truck.

Sad........ I was so hopeful :( But maybe there is some great family tragedy within their company leadership, perhaps all their employees quit at the same time - several times, maybe their suppliers continue to stiff them on the materials they need to bring their product to market. Nooooo...

I run 4:88s with my Continental MPT 81s, ARB front and gear driven limited slip in the rear. I was very close to an ARB in the rear, but I wanted the reliability of the "no-spin" in the rear for towing heavy. I will say, it works very well off road except for low speed in packed snow and ice...

I am of course biased. Build your own diesel power wagon aka Prospector XL. I agree though, in all reality a diesel only gains you around 2-3 mpg on average better than a gas (6.4), however, it gives you far greater versatility should you ever decide to carry / tow a lot of weight. The gas is...

I will deff. let you know when its done and send you some pics. Very cool to hear about the grandby, I love the thought of a FWC. Its funny, I was just talking to my better half about trying to find a vintage camper and restore it. I am a big fam of the FWC and Alaskan campers for sure. Make...

I have been gone ( when work calls I must go ), but I am back now. Honestly, I have only built the brackets, I think we should be back on track to finish up the skid plate and have a solid test model by the second week of Nov. How goes your project?

If you actually took the time and spent that much money to drive all the way out here ( Colorado )... Heck yeah I would help you install those flares. :)

The install is really not that technical, it just takes time to do it correctly. You will need a plastic rivet gun / applicator tool for the inner fender liners, also a body saw (miniature sawzal) is a must. The rear fender flares only took me about 6-7 hours. The fronts are deff. more time...

I got my Maxxis Treps in today... :) WOW.... What a tire. They are the DOT compound radial 42s, but still very soft. I think they will be good for cruising around at KOH this year, but deff. not a road tire....... ;)

Well, I will say this... I can be picky, so I spent about 20 hours installing the front and rear flares. It is time consuming, I asked cooper how long it takes DPP to install them and he said they have a body shop guy that does it for them and it takes him about 15 hours.

You should absolutely go if you can. Come find me (I will be with Levi Shirly and Maxxis Tire) and I will cook you a steak, give you a cold beer and introduce you to the race team.

A couple of reasons, 1. the conti's are down to 60% with a little less than 13K on them. I really do like them but the tread life is a bit disappointing. I have abused the tires though, with no sign of damage but the tread life is abysmal. I may try a set of goodyears also, we will see. 2...

Back in the saddle... lol gone for a bit, but back to working on the truck. A new set of tires will be here next week (fingers crossed) 42" Maxxis Trepador M8060s. This next week should be a productive week (I will post up picks as we get stuff installed), finally getting the bed rack...

I have a set of RED sliders that are brand new ( they were made for an AEV prospector / 1.5 inches shorter in the front and 4 inches shorter in the rear ). If your interested, I will be in SoCal next week and I could bring them with. $800. Let me know, Im heading out on the road trip...

I could be wrong though. Lets think about it.... lololol 10' x 3' of mild steal 3/16 plate 30 minutes of table time (laser or water jet) 30 minutes of metal finish ( pre assembly) 2 sets of bearings, caps, grease, sleeves. 2 spindles 12' or 3"x5" box tubing 2 latch mechanisms 2' x 2'...

Excessive..... mmmmmmmmm, yes, that is a word I would use to describe the price. ;)
