It did, but later I had an issue with the front half of the rack vibrating on the roof channel when the wind crossed it at a certain angle while traveling at a certain speed. It was super annoying. I emailed AF when it happened and the first question he asked me was "did you take the rubber off...

Renogy 50w panels, and I have a 3rd panel I bring camping but it takes up too much room on the rack to leave it mounted. The pigtail I use has 4 quick connects so it's all plug and play. The panels pop off when I'm not using them and the wiring is just velcro-strapped down the rack and in...

I really try and get out weekly. Mostly by myself so I don't get too crazy, but I'm in the rocks, not on dirt roads. I'm lucky to have some fun trails 20 min from my front door. It would be nice to feel like a Cadillac on the fire roads, but I have no regrets with this setup. The scorpions...

That sucks. So far, the few times Ive contacted AF, they have gotten back to me pretty quick.

JGC looks nice and is magnitudes above a 4runner in terms of road comfort, but I've seen so many people with problems after a few years I wouldn't touch one. I'd put them in the same category as range rovers where it's great if you are only keeping it until the warranty wears out and then...

Somebody asked for action shots...Eibach 1.0 bottom ring because I like the lift height and didn't feel the need to complicate anything with adjustability I'd never use. KDSS truck. My buddies with fancy kings and fox setups are world's nicer on the bumpy roads heading out to the actual...

In my juvenile delinquent days, a friend had a giant stepside Chevy on 40s that we would ravage and pillage in. Had one of those million candlepower lights mounted beside the rear plate so anyone chasing us after we vandalized their trash cans or mail box couldn't read it lol. It was a simpler...

A similar experience recently caused me to consider a rear facing spot on the roof rack.

Not super common, but my Pirelli Scorpion AT+ have been awesome on and off road. 285s just as quiet as stock, and grippy in heavy rain and light snow on the road. I have kdss, pedal commander stays on sport+4, and I drive like an A-hole.

Mine ended up being closer to 2.5 up front, and a little over an inch rear right after install and alignment. The rear isn't adjustable at all. The front has a few different notches for the snap ring. Don't see any reason you couldn't use a spacer.

Huge deal right there. Went out on a trail with a tippy spot last weekend with a big group of yotas. The RTT 5th gens looked really sketchy and had people holding the roof while they crawled through. I felt pretty stable.

That means keep your eyes on Walmart clearance deals. They tend to blow tires out that get discontinued.

Just leave mine laying in front of the gauge cluster lol. Sport +3 most of the time and I shut it off when I hit the dirt.

They do look bad ass! But damn they are heavy. Sometimes I get a little nervous with my C rated tires in the rocky sharp stuff here, but no issues yet. I still daily drive this pig and milage is already terrible so weight matters to me.
