I like it!

Yep; what they said! I personally do everything if the job requires me to disconnect the control arms at the hub. Not saying you need to go both sides but if my left needs it, and it was not event driven like something broke from impact than you can assume the wear is similar to both sides...

Thanks a million! Custom welded aluminum frame; mostly 1" square and a few larger at the base. The frame is super light and came out pretty much the way I wanted it thanks to my buddy's fab skills. The top is King Starboard; it's used in most marine applications and will outlast the vehicle...

Ha, I was so stoked about the extra batteries that I completely missed the white freshwater tank on the white paint; trained observer here! lol Nice work man!

Absolutely on the spring compressors; if they are available it's your safest bet. Not an issue if you have thread visible as the nut has full lockup but still going to be quite a bit of tension on the rubber compression at the perch mount. If you have compressors, then you have free reign on...

The spring perch will rotate around to whatever position you want them in but since the shocks and springs are completely assemble it's going to take some force to rotate the shock around with a loaded spring. Possible to loosen the spring perch nut a bit to get some more movement out of...

I like Bucket Boss rolls for my trail kit tools and was considering another order for the utensils but maybe that small Dickies role might be a better choice for some. Anyway, these Bucket Boss rolls are excellent, cheap, easy to use, extremely durable, quality construction; I've been using...

Agreed; and almost more consideration on fuel choice in many aspects. I have a lot of high altitude experience from my military days but lesser camping not so much. I'd like to make sure my stove that will be dedicated to the vehicle is going to work perfectly in all aspects from sea level...

Those Silky's are nice kit! Have a small one and now I want a big one! lol

I haven't really followed global markets so I apologize to our friends outside the US as we currently manage our situation here. I do not think JLR is any different than the rest of the planet during this pandemic. The thing to realize, at least in the US, we were not in a recession but the...

My problem is spending too much time on projects and not enough time using and re-breaking them to work on them again! :p

Those Esco's are nice; do they have changeable pads with cupped style for axles too? I do not always go the frame for some jobs and like to jack and support the control arms for some tasks and like the grip of the cup style over the frame pad top like you have. Than Eage jack looks dope too!

I may have missed it but must be early no and a proud designer and nothing built cuz the entire site is animi and CAD. Anytime I see the word "art" in an overland sense my face hurts cuz I know its for the rich kid coming out of LA for his weekend parked outside the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs...

Best wishes OTG! I'm just on the west side of the street in Oside; look forward to seeing your gear and supporting local!

@Corgi_express thanks for the van response. I would love a big ole Ford Sportsmobile but do not plan to use it for full on off-road as I have the LR3 for that. Great advice on the long term and custom ideas and that is why I plan to go the Sprinter route with a zero mile diesel and never look...

Onboard fresh water and air?????? Do tell?

Nailed it; not to mention sprung and unsprung weight and what that does to the entire driveline in all kinds of areas. Big reason why warranties could be different on factory modified vehicles and cost is huge because they realize most likely they will see the vehicle in more. Also funny how...

@mbwesner if you want to send me your old one and allow me to use the kit from BP Utah, I'll rebuild it for you on parts cost and shipping and send it back to you. Up to you, PM if interested.

Wait, what? Dude you have the craziest things happen. What do you mean you "lost a hub" and it was not drivable? You mean you drove the wheel bearing down so deep into repair it was no longer functional? If that hub broke that means the play in your axle bearings was way beyond repair for a...

you would be amazed how many engineers work in industries they know nothing about. There are advantages of bias "knowns" in an industry that can jade decision process on what is actually best for a product; but yeah, it's pretty crazy and not the only company or industry that has this...
