    Thoughts on Hefty Banshee bumper?

    Just to wrap this item, got the Hefty Banshee with black powdercoat and Warn EVO winch. Have RCI aluminum skids and cut the steel filler plate to fit the bumper so there’s full protection from the bumper back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Old Man Emu choice?

    Yes, 255 80 17 Falken Wildpeaks, lift is still about 2.5” in front, 3” in back, which is spec for springs. With the 33” tires, approach angle is better and nice to have the clearance below. Have added front Hefty bumper and winch since lift, previously had full alum skids, sliders and Gobi rack...

    Old Man Emu choice?

    Old Man Emu choice?

    CarPlay solution installed on 2015 OEM head unit at reasonable cost

    CarPlay solution installed on 2015 OEM head unit at reasonable cost

    Installed a wireless/wired CarPlay unit on my OEM head unit - love it, and about $200 on Amazon or from CTH. It’s only at the native resolution of the screen, and while CarPlay is up, all audio needs to be through CarPlay (like SiriusXM, radio apps), but otherwise perfect. Sounds great and calls...

    Winch options for 5th Gen

    One more question on winches - looking for something not manufactured in China, where the Warn Evo line appears to be made. Happy to pay some premium for on sourced and made in the USA.
