Today we placed our order with Mario for our FlipPac! :wings:
Color matched, trick LED lighting
The OME Dakar HD springs are already done, ready for the shell
It should all be done in time for cooler temps - desert season is coming!

Doc,
Great looking setup!
Question for ya.....without reading all 112 pages.....What gearing did you swap for?? How is the gearing with the new trailer? what does the trailer weight?
Thanks man!

Thanks, I went with 4.88's from East Coast Gear Supply :costumed-smiley-007

I too have not read all 112 pages but have you had any tire rubbing issues and if so did you do any trimming to accommodate the 255/85's? Also you switched to 4:88's was the car much of a dog with the stock gearing?
-S
I trimmed a small bit of plastic on the fender flare and removed the mud flaps, that's it. Some rubbing on the uca but most of us have that with this size - no negative impact other than a shiny spot on the uca
The 3.73's are too tall for these tires and all the armor.... add RTT and extra fuel/water/provisions and it is no bueno.

My first impressions after playing with it were that it is very high quality and very well designed. Super easy to use, even for my wife if need be (the Hi-Lift was a no go for her).
I've had and used the old Hi-Lifts for years, but the sheer size and weight of it, and associated hassles and quirks that come with it left me looking for a different solution. When I saw an X-Jack being demonstrated I knew I'd found the the answer.
Lighter, faster, safer IMO.
My only question is how much of a back pressure do these jacks create on the engine. Safe for the seals and rings?
