    Decent Deal on ARB Snatch Block

    For what it's worth, I practically stalled my Warn 9.5XP and eventually broke my brand new Viking 3/8" synthetic rope after eating through my composite fairlead.....my ARB 9000 snatch block was the only thing that didn't have any problems that day.

    Hi lift jack

    If you end up getting sliders, I would recommend an adapter such as the one I'm using (wabfab) - and "NO", I have no affiliation what so ever with the vendor, other than the fact that he asked to use a picture of my truck for his website. Somebody else may make a similar product, but this is...

    Winch Fairlead Poll

    I was running a composite fairlead, until my new Viking rope melted through it (due to winching angle) and eventually broke once it got through to the steel mounting plate.....now I'm back to an aluminum Viking fairlead.....no more composite anything for me when it comes to winches :)...

    Beadlock Benis?

    I ran my Stauns for about a month and then sold them. IMO they are a total pain in the ***, especially if you have to make a tire repair in the field. I also managed to cut a sidewall due to basically a pinch flat from the tire being between a rock and the Staun. Glad I tried them, and really...

    Beadlock Benis?

    TrailReady HD17's are not a modified rim either, but are also not DOT stamped - "TrailReady now offers a new Heavy Duty "born as beadlock" one piece Beadlock wheel designed for racing applications but perfect for any application." http://www.trailready.com/wheels_HD.html

    Beadlock Benis?

    I've got well over 10k road miles and no telling how many trail miles on them and they've never ever leaked air. My truck is my daily driver as well. I'm running 40" BFG KM2's on it with zero wheel weights and it's perfectly smooth all the way up to 75 MPH, these are the truest and most...

    Random RIG Shots

    We were taking all backroads home after a 3-day trail run and the road we were on dead-ended right into a river, got to take an unexpected ferry ride.............

    Beadlock Benis?

    I've ran Allieds, Stazworks, Stauns, and currently running the TrailReady HD17's. I like the TrailReady's the best out of any wheel I've owned. They're strong as can be, extremely true, and relatively light.

    Changing a flat on lifted trucks: tall bottle jack or hi-lift?

    I found that this little strap makes my life a lot easier when using a Hi-Lift on my junk.....since my suspension will droop until I run out of jack without it. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Jackstrap-p-2492.html Also have this and it's a lifesaver for me.....and I just noticed he has a...

    Thoughts on polyurethane bushings (Energy Suspension, Daystar).

    I use poly bushing in all my front & rear leaf spring eyes & shackle mounts. Like others said, only problem I've had is squeeking. One thing that causes squeeking (other than dirt) is when you put petrolum-based grease on them.....which I've been doing for the past 7 yrs and didn't know about...

    Dual Battery System Management Recommendations?

    ^ that's what I'm running in my Tundra and I'm extremely pleased with it. I've already had to jump myself off because of accidentally leaving the key in the "ON" position all night....simply hit the override button and it's happy sailing in that case. Even though I can run my Engel all night...

    Petersons Ultimate Adventure Tundra

    Front WMS-WMS is 69", rear is 67". The rear is definitely narrower, it's the dovetail that creates the illusion.

    Petersons Ultimate Adventure Tundra

    So adventure = expedition? Well, this is not an expedition (per se) event. It's a 7-day trip ranging anywhere from 1,500 - 2,500 miles of non-stop movement though. You have to remember that the terrain they make you go through is extremely aggressive, not only does your rig have to make it...

    Petersons Ultimate Adventure Tundra

    I could definitely make it flex more, but IMO there's no real point. Once my front leafs wear out I will 3-link the front with 14" coilovers. Right now it's set up for a good balance of on & off-road performance, dependabilty, ride, stability. I can make it do really great at one or two of...
