    Prioritizing your build components (Looking for guidance)

    Go with some LT rated tires (285/70-17) are a popular size with the 200 series. Next fill up the tank and the rest will come naturally as you discovery your personal needs. Everyone's needs are different so anyone claiming you need 'this' I would move on. You need to ask yourself the following...

    A Fantastic stereo audio system requires balanced parts

    Raising your panhard should not change the way your rig articulates. My results where the same as @david4121 When testing the Delta bracket I saw 100% articulation while running an upgrade Whiteline swaybar and 1.5" bump stops. Delta brackets are in stock and ship daily for FREE...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    Funny how you dont see maxtrax on many international travels. I dont see how you can give any advantage to Maxtrax over bridging ladders where its easy to see the advantage with bridging ladders. Most of the examples I have seen with maxtrax could of handled just by airing down properly for the...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    Some overlanding friends were giving a pair only to get seriously stuck in South America were the Maxtraxs offered no help. Once back in the US they sold them. In there case real bridging ladders would have help. There is a reason serious world travelers carry bridging ladders not Maxtraxs.

    Air compressor

    MV50 provides the best bang for the buck IMO. If you air up needs are less than 12 times a year the MV50 is for you. I air down a lot and use permanently mounted PUMA's in our Land Cruisers but we also have a couple of MV50 (for years) we carry in other vehicle or loan out to newbies.

    inexpensive 12v tire inflator

    Heat is where the PUMA shines with zero duty cycle. After airing up all your tires you can grab the compressor cylinder head with your hand.

    What do you use for deflating your tires?

    I like the Stauns for accuracy and ease of operation. I find a lot of my travels are solo. With Stauns I screw them on drive for 5 minutes and remove them what could be easier and more accurate? Airing up is fast with a permanently mounted Puma compressor.

    Divide Road, From Grand Junciton to Montrose over 100 miles of dirt

    Lower cost on a 100 series is a no brainer due to the age difference. The 200 is much better built in terms of being heavy duty, the bottom is flat, the suspension is superior, and the components are just bigger and better constructed. One part that stuck out to me and I look to adapt it to my...

    Divide Road, From Grand Junciton to Montrose over 100 miles of dirt

    Yes the 100 series will be cheaper as they should be being older. To say just as good is not fair from my recent experience. I have been doing some product testing on a 200 and after driving it for over 1000+ miles on/off road and having it on a lift it is a monster and much better built and...

    Portable 12v inflator recommendations?

    MV-50/Tsunami has a solid track record and is the value in low cost compressor. Any compressor that plugs into a cig outlet is a POS and should be avoided for 4wd use.
