Let me try to sway you. This 4th gen is a perfect mix of daily driver and weekend wheeler/overlander (link below). The ATRAC traction control system in the 4th gens make them very capable offroad. This one also has a winch and onboard air so those offroad excursions alone will be a bit less...

FYI, I just replaced my left parking brake cable and the one I purchased from Rock Auto was made incorrectly. It had a right side cable end casting on it. They are side specific. I ended up ordering one on Amazon and it fit correctly.

Anyone every had to replace their rear parking brake cable? I damaged my left side cable offroading and am looking to replace it. I've removed all the bolts I can see but it seems like there might be one more above the gas tank as the cable doesn't want to budge. Anyone know if I have to drop...

If you get the 2.7 ecoboost, think about getting a tune from Palm Beach Dyno. 62 rwhp and 70 rwtq increase and mostly down low where you will feel it in everyday driving. Ford F150 2.7L Ecoboost HP Tuners NGauge with Palm Beach Dyno Custom Tuning for 2015-2018

The thought certainly crossed my mind but its not a race car. Not really that concerned. Think about how many people run open air conical filters under hood. No different really. I was actually more concerned with the heat on the compressor. So far not an issue. I usually have the hood up...

2006 V6. Just had to flip the intake tube to the rear of the engine compartment and had just enough room for my Viair setup.

The only thing I had to move was the air intake tube. I removed the molded plastic piece on the end of the tube and then rotated the tube 180 degrees placing the inlet near the firewall. I used a couple of existing bolts as well as drilling 3 new ones to mount the tank and pump. I did have to...

I have a Viair 450c system mounted under the hood. Had the same system in my Jeep for awhile and worked great airing up 35's. I used to use CO2 but didn't like having to get the bottle filled. Also didn't like the idea of carting around a compressed gas cylinder in the interior of my vehicle...

If you want to remove the inner fenders but are worried about getting water and mud in the air intake, you could place it where I did in the attached pic. I just rotated it 180 degrees from the factory location so that I could fit my Viar setup. Doing so places the intake opening in the engine...

Me too. Should be here tomorrow. Glad I saw this post.

I just did this trip last fall in my 05 LJ. Your plan sounds really good. All of the trails we did in Moab were beautiful. TOTW and Fins-n-things will give you a nice mix of trail types. You could probably squeeze Hells Revenge in as well to take in a beautiful sunset. It's right next to...
