Here's mine. Truck is a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with a 2" long-leaf add-a-leaf spring lift. I installed the Timbren bump stop thingy four years ago(?). I honestly don't notice it back there (I guess that's a good thing). The truck is no longer my daily driver, and was never used as a work truck.

Excellent. They work awesome - you will be pleased. I was stationed at Ft Carson from 1983 to 1985. They got a lot of snow out there.

Do they make true tracks (a gear driven limited slip) for your vehicle? If so, at least one in the rear. I'm assuming you're open front and rear right now.

I think you nailed it with the "All or nothing" comment. "Something" is better than nothing. Having a set of X-Bulls is better than nothing. I've got two pairs of X-Bulls - one for each tire.

Make sure you measure the Jeep rim's center hole diameter, and make sure it will fit over the new axle's hub. The factory steel rims might fit; I wouldn't count on the alloy rims fitting over the trailer axle's hub. And here's how you determine how wide an axle to get (hub-face to hub-face)...

I was in Florida helping my Mom clean out some closets (she's 89; dad's 90 and he's not with-it) and we came across this Daisy BB gun she didn't want. So I took it apart and brought it home. It is this model: https://www.bakerairguns.com/product/daisy-880-20th/ It is in excellent shape, and...

Did you read any of the posts on this thread? Starting at least on page 4 X-bulls were mentioned. And mentioned a lot. And there's a whole other thread under this same Recovery and Equipment heading titled "Besides MaxTraxx, what traction boards/mats do you use?" that's only four pages long...

This is the tent-cot I have from Cabela's (sorry - the camping companion doesn't come with it). Yes - it has a piece of tube frame running down the middle, so you can't sleep in the middle of it (you've gotta pick a side). I also removed the outer legs as they weren't needed when mounted on...

I actually put a double sized tent cot on my trailer. Tent cot was about $350; custom cover about $450 (but have a template now). Weight is about 50 lbs.

Pretty cool. Is it a fancy tent cot?

They say at the bottom of the page they get some sort of compensation for purchases made. The price for the Xbulls was not bad. I just thought it was interesting the different options out there. And some of their reviews were not positive (might break with first use...).

This popped up on one of my feeds today. Not real in-depth, but mentions some I'd never heard of. https://www.off-road.com/blog/products/buyers-guide-the-best-traction-mats-for-getting-unstuck/?fbclid=IwAR086UGYEpqEuzBLNOAz5s1MeW3i5MnTjk9skWDVzRljuZNqzrzOYLAYVSg (spoiler alert - they liked...

I totally enjoyed the video. Talk about testing them to the limits! You've got to admit, the MaxTrax seem to be the gold standard when it comes to these recovery boards. If I were going to be overlanding for months on end, those are the ones I'd get. As it is, in reality I'm more of a...

What is butyl tape, and where do you get it?

I've already given my wife a heads-up I might be needing her help. Unless I don't get it done till my daughter's home for spring break, then I'll task her to help me. Yeah; don't want to drop the window and have it break.

I was putting a new toy I recently purchased into my gun cabinet, and found this tool up with the ammo on top of the gun cabinet. I cannot for the life of me remember what it is for or which gun it belongs to (an AR?). It was still in a little sealed plastic bag, so it hadn't been used on...

Awesome. Thanks!

So I got a quick response from my email to JKS. Here's the link to the springs (combo pack of all three so you can mix & match): https://jksmfg.com/i-22327337-flex-connect-performance-springs-master-kit.html?ref=category:381021 They also sell them individually...

Seems like they would be a universal fit for any vehicle that has a swaybar with end links. And if you can fine-tune them with different rated little springs, even better. I'm sure my big truck would use different springs in the link compared to a TJ or smaller vehicle. This could be a...

I think these are the JKS links mentioned previously with the springs: https://jksmfg.com/i-24048413-tj-xj-zj-flex-connect-kit-pair.html?ref=category:381038 According to the link: The Flex Connect is customizable to meet your driving needs and compatible most lifts on the market. Along with...
