Looks good! Just got the K02s on mine this week. Went with 275s and they do rub a little in the front. Just enough to make me nuts. Suspension next week and hopefully that will rectify it. If not, looks like a date with the heat gun. Have fun with it; I will check in to see how it is coming along.
Pack, unpack, make a menu, check it again. Oh, did I mention that I have a thing for efficiency, and that I had OCD and ADHD before it was cool?? Should have waited to do this for a little bit longer; it will just beg for me to relook at this another 2-3 times.
Some pics of the trail and finally at the top of Mount Beacon in NY. A fun time and my son did a great job as the spotter. Pretty proud of him. Going to have to hose this off some time this week.
Pretty productive weekend; after attending the Memorial Day service in which my son sang God Bless America to represent his Troop and pay respect for all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we got some more preparations accomplished for our upcoming trip.
Picked up some provisions and...
Well folks, back to the 'ol drawing board as the coyote used to say. Hitting the garage to make some brackets to hold both the hi-lift and the traction boards on the same bracket. We are running out of room fast. I refuse to pay $149 for the right brackets when I can spend $250 to do it myself...
So here is the finished product. Don't know how well it will work long-term, but I wanted to at least try to put it in something. Also covered all contacts with dielectric grease. We shall see. I like it.
So we made some progress. Silicone is drying and will post pics tomorrow once this is complete. Also ordered Lamin-X for the fogs today. Been wanting to yellow the fogs for some time. Finally a guy on IG put me on to Lamin-X.
I think I am on to something. Been looking for a waterproof solution for the ARB OBA switch to keep it under the hood. Looks like a late night in the garage gettting this done. If all works out well, I will be sure to post pics.
Ah. Some new shoes. BFG KO2s. 275/70/17. A little annoyed with the front rub. Hoping the lift takes care of that. Anyone with 5th gen experience that could provide your insight/thoughts would be much appreciated.
I think if you are planning on running lights, winch and other accessories, an SPOD will help keeping the rats nest of wires down and provide for easier hookups.
Much accomplished today. Got my new C4 Fab bumper to powder coat today. They will have it done by Wednesday. Purchased a 9K winch (Badlands) and I know it is not a Warn, whatever. Just hope it fits and works. Ordered my BFG KO2s and will have them installed at 8am tomorrow. Very excited about...
Supposed to rain all day tomorrow. Going to see if I can make a weatherproof switch box for under the hood for the ARB compressor. Don't feel like running the switch into the cab. I would like the switch under the hood near the unit. Let's see what we can come up with.
So finally my C4 Fab lo pro hidden winch bumper arrived today. Bringing it to the powder court guys tomorrow and really hoping that they can turn this around quickly as I have to put in the T4R within the next 10 days for the lift/suspension work. Seems like it is really well made, nice welds...
If you're really going to go Overlanding, I would say lights, sin you can see what's going on; OBA, jack and recovery system. Everything else you can drive to. Have fun!
As mentioned earlier, apples are great. Produce not kept in coolers at the market will las pretty well as cheese and some pepperoni and crackers. Chef boy r dee and ramen always come in handy.
