It looked like it would fit a 3/8 ratchet and was a hex bit protruding from a large flat washer like surface …. Basically to ensure the hex bit is squarely loaded. Ill see if i can find it again.

I ran 285/70 load range E on stock wheels to begin with and later mounted same set on 17x9 wheels. I ended up gettin 82,000 miles on them before I replaced them with KM3s. Never had an issue balancing and at one point even had a wheel with no weights at all. They still looked fine when I got rid...

I ordered through Mammoth4runner on instagram. The snorkel is from 4wdadventures and the prefilter is from snorkel upgrade. Mammoth had it all listed in his store with discounts at the time. The prefilter requires a rubber adapter bushing that was ordered together with the rest of it.

Lookin good!!!

Not sure what you are looking for??.. maybe post this in the “offroading” section of the forum. This is just my personal build/rig progress/photos.

Its not really a trip thread for Louisiana, its a build thread for my rig.

I was invited to go do a piece of it with some folks in May maybe. Ill probably do a few short trips here and there but the next big thing for me in in July to Utah.

Old Man Emu “Heavy” for 440lb additional weight. Besides the swing I have fridge, plywood floor, some tools and the tent. It sits pretty close to factory rake now fully loaded to camp.
