Alright, sounds good! Thanks for the replies. I'll go get some spray paint and get her taken care of.

Ok, on New Years day went on a snow run and scraped up my rock sliders a bit. Was looking at it today and noticed all of the rust on it now -> I thought I wouldn't have to take care of it for a while before it got really rusty....its only been 1.5 months! (yes I am naïve). What is the proper...

Well...I guess I messed up getting the a-arm skids for $100 (bought from other forum member). At least it seems my other skid plates weren't a waste. Not the end of the world.

I was running about 15 psi on snow/ice. Have C-rated ridge grapplers (285/70/r17). Felt a lot of pressure from the group where everyone was airing down, though another 4nr didn't and did fine, though he did use chains on a certain section. And...yeah, I think more than anything it was caused...

If I'm putting the jack in the center of the engine skid and lifting the entire front...that sounds more dangerous than just trying to lift one side? It seems like its much more likely to possibly fall to a side.

Yeah...I did look at the manual during the tire change and....I must have been under too much duress/pressure. There was a line of rigs behind me that couldn't pass until I got moving again. I think I switched up the front/rear and saw that the rear needed to be on the axle and was thinking that...

Yeah...I was meaning to buy some for a long time and actually could have used some on the run. It was a wake up call reminder!

Thanks. Yeah, I'll probably just go the 2x4 route and use my bottle jack and jack directly under the a-arm skid.

Well, currently I don't have a floor jack, but you mean...bring a floor jack in the trunk when going out on the trail every time?

Are you using the 2x4 on the bottom (near the wheel) or top of the skid?

So, last week on a snow run with a 4x4 group, I popped a bead when sliding into a rut. I have a full size spare so no problem (and didn't want to do the brake fluid method of reseating a bead). However....using my bottle jack I quickly realized that my A-arm skid plates are now covering the...

Ray10s all the way. Its worth the wait....if you add yourself to the waitlist at like freeman Toyota then you essentially are guaranteed them...but just have to wait. I did get lucky and got mine from SCS directly by having everything prefilled out at checkout so I was able to purchase them 10...

Ok...so....I hiked the JMT (john muir trail) with my son last month so my car was sitting in Tuolumne Meadows on a dirt road (though in the shade for most of the time) for 3 weeks. I came home, and the plastidip just looked awful on the hood. It had spots that wouldn't wash off, and the...

Ok, got mine done. This was actually my first DIY wiring job. It was actually easier than getting my light bar wiring done, even though that came from a kit. I went ahead and dremeled the sides so it would be flush with the grill, as per some other posts here. I also spraypainted black the...

Yep, its in its original retail box, with its carry bag.
