Very nice!

I think this is the best advice as well, keep thinking about what you actually need, by just getting out the on the trails you are going to be going on. Saying that, from your other thread and your other posts it looks like you have thought about it, and I personally think from what you've...

My final take from the other thread and this post: 1. Tires- 35's with your upgrades will work. Just be careful with throttle management, and just carry an extra CV. If you arent stupid and don't have huge angles the front IFS isn't that bad. 35 MPG isn't THAT bad, but it will take a hit. 2...

Just reread the post, thought it was just for the compressor home use. Ya I agree with dwh 7000 is huge! Without a fullsize trailer it would take a ton of room! One options is I know the Honda and Yamahas can daisy chain in the ~2000 and 3000w models. May be the best bet if you want to take one...

I don't know about the ~7000 range and continuous duty models, but I have a Yamaha 4500iSE and it has had no problems over the last 5 years of owning. While I don't run it continuously, I have ran it all day in a box on the front of my trailer in the heat and it's been flawless. I've had...

Ya, thats not a bad idea, just for a second skin which seems to be the only reasonable option.... maybe i'll be inspired one of these weekends to do it.

Hm, I guess with the math at 65 you're right. I feel like with 33's and 4.10's my highway cruising is still too high.... I mean at 65 okay, but on the long stretches of roads in CA NV etc., 70-80 seems to be the norm cruise and that puts the revs up. 4.10 for me was the best mix of reasonable...

Looking at the relationship of the body to the tires on that lift and my 6"lift with 33's, that seems right for 35's? It does look a bit high I guess, probably because it looks like the picture was taken from a low angle? They probably did that to make it seem taller than it is for their...

My worry is any loss of clearance there makes it the lowest point on the belly and if it bends up, it bends into the tank.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Interesting on the headers, I'm going to see how this tune works, possibly get it honed by atomic one more time, but in around town testing it seems to have made a decent improvement. I'm going to hold off on a final say until a few trips. See mt post in your thread, but the coilovers are 100%...

Ya the latches in the parrellel config dint work, if you can get them so the angle is greater than 0 as you said, maybe they will!? I added an inch to mine and they still won't... Sorry brain fart- when I said RCB, I meant BDS too many acronyms in my life.. edited my post. Yes, no doubt the...

On those latches, I have the same problem. I feel I should have gone for the locking ones as well. I ended up welding a tab that sticks up to the back of the handle and drilled a hole through the handle and tab and put a U hitch pin through it... I could NOT get them to "torque down and stay...

I keep looking at this picture and then look at my sawzall and my suburban's roof, and just start thinking "well, if I punch a hole in it, I'll have to finish it"..... but then I come back to reality. Seriously great job! If you ever sell a kit or something I'd definitely be in line.

Bear- I recently took out my coil spacer and went with"Sumo Springs" I was going to wait to recommend them but now with two trips and a few 1000 miles, I feel pretty confident in them. I so far like them over a spacer (and they are more "bellet proof" than air bags which I was also looking...

Pepboys has the civilian water cans for like $12 bucks each (theyre website always has 30% off coupons) I really like them (THey have blue marked potable water ,red and yellow) I've also stumbled across this: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/931768-hdpe-skid-plate.html...

Looking good!

Ya, it's really up there. The hitch acts as a great "skid" for it as it is a good 4 inches lower than the tank. Ya that's one area that I can't seem to figure out. I had plans of putting some large steel cross beams across in hopes of trying to ward off cracking it, but it wouldn't hold the...

Rayra my Jerry can/ spare tire holder started its life as a HF 500lb carrier. It lives mostly in the up position (I've since reinforced it/ added jerry can holders) but it's a very good starting point in my opinion. With 4 jerry cans and a 33" spare tire, it started to bend, so i had to replace...

Let us know when you are in town! Jelorian and I had planned to meet soon because he's getting my old transmission cooler. I tooka few driveway pics last night, here they are! The paint job is rock solid. Very happy. Net summer I will have a bunch of touch up to do, but I am happy!

I also got a PM about my fuel tank setup. I stole the idea from the below links. I pretty much used it as a template. I took some pictures of it install too just in case some one needs more info. Some notes: I cut out the tire holder completely and welded two U-cross beams across the frame and...
