It was fine we were only 40 miles from anything.

We weren't bridging. More like ramping. My friends 100-series blew it's front diff. So we were trying to get him up a ledge in rwd. Ended up blowing the rear driveshaft U joint also.

Does the ladder bolt into the body?

I wouldn't. That's how the maxtrax shattered. Kind of. I don't think these are meant for bridging.

Looks like one of you bought one. [emoji6]

All of them melt with tire spin. The first time we tried to use a set of Maxtrax they shattered. So I decided they weren't worth $300. Ha.

Thanks for the ideas Scott. I've buried the rear axle in death valley once. Highcentered and tried locking and reversing out. Didn't work. Those are the traction boards I had in mind. My main reasoning against a rear bumper is just the weight. On Land Cruisers there was no option to retain the...

I talked to them last year about the 1.5" coils. Ordered. Installed. They were terrible. The rear end sagged like crazy. On coming drivers kept flashing their highbeams at me thinking I had my highs on. But the rear end just sagged so much that the lights were pointed up. When I followed up with...

Thanks for the details! That sounds perfect. I also considered removing the fuel caddy and lowering the spare for daily driving. But I have to parallel park every night so a camera would get a lot of use.

I'm not totally sold on trucklites. I live in a city so trips are the only time I even use my lame high beams. A lightbar might cut it. Im actually getting some off brand maxtrax for $110 that have better reviews than maxtrax. That was why I was getting that first. Also they work in the desert...

With the house closing only 3 weeks away, and the end in sight, I started organizing my thoughts on what to do next. To put off doing work at work, I broke it into phases today. This seems like the ideal order to do these in since a lot of these are necessary to run 35s. And to maximize fun and...

I ran into an AEV JK250 across the street from my office on Friday. I whipped out the tape measure. He was only about 2" taller than me including the 35" BFG MT KM2 tires. This solidified my decision to wait and save up for the 3.5" lift kit and 35x12.5r17 BFG MT KM2s. I want extra...

That's a slick setup @Gear. It looks like that's the same system that Brady and company used on the Expedition West Tacoma. I'm contemplating getting the AEV tire carrier and gas caddy which would block what little rearview I have now. I thought about having the camera feed into the Nav screen...

Yes please. If it had a backingplate, you could bolt it to the tailgate without drilling into the phone.

Do you know what model airbags fit in those springs? I have the oem ones but want airbags for my upcoming 3.5" lift.

Please report back.

Well it looks like you're off to a good start!

I've tried to figure out a way to watch this show in the US for years. No luck. I'd buy the DVDs but they seem to be DVDs and no blurays. I wish you could buy them on itunes or something.

Idk about those numbers. You can wait to do ball joints until you need to. Sleeves $120. Install: free Gussets and skids $110. Install: $100 on the vehicle. Pretty cheap insurance. But yes we should. My land cruiser friends still go to cruise Moab bandito style so they're not interested...

I'm excited about the extra clearance. But I don't have a very heavy build planned. I'm worried about the nose up thing. I will add a front winch at some point though.
