Yeah the FB group is pretty active. Sort of unfortunate for people that aren't pro-Facebook, but it has its advantages.

Yeah, lift spindles.

The mount design is different, yeah, but I'm not entirely sure I'd say it's better. Definitely not as structurally efficient, the load path isn't as direct for loads on crossbars other than those directly mounted to the roof. I know you're being facetious, but unfortunately there's really no...

Right? They didn't even bother to come up with a name that sounded different. That's just pitiful.

You may want to look into a body lift. No one really lifts more than 3" or so because that's above that the suspension geometry gets pretty ****y.

Just to throw my hat into the ring, I've had KO2s for about 20k miles now and I haven't had any problems in the rain. They're not the be-all, end-all of tires, sure, but there's good reason they're popular.

Excellent work! Great writeup. I'd highly, highly, highly recommend a bolt-on steering arm for the next iteration of the upright. Not only will that give you a field-serviceable yield point next time you hit a rock (spare bolts don't take up much space), you can adjust bump steer and...

That's always the question, isn't it? If the tie rod didn't break, and the steering arm didn't break, then maybe it would have been the rack. Generally, the further you get into the vehicle the more expensive and harder to replace things get. Excellent work you guys! Thanks for posting...

Yeah, it's the weak link, but probably not intentionally. I usually make tie rod extensions for systems like that out of aluminum. It's more than strong enough for the loads the system will see in normal usage, but in a big off, it's easy to replace if something breaks. Think of it like a...

Looking great! Been following on instagram.

Yep, this. They die eventually when the batteries die, replacing them all at once is just smart.

Very cool. What's different about those over the ones currently on their site?

This doesn't need to be a "guesstimate." You can look up the power consumption of your particular devices, and add them up to figure out how close you are to the original power draw. If it makes you feel any better, resistive heaters like in cigarette lighters draw a ton of amperage, so the...

4XInnovations is still the way to go IMO. Offset the cost of others with some sweat equity. Worth considering the fact that sliders are protection for your truck. Cheaper sliders will use inferior material (ERW vs. DOM, thinner walls, etc.) that's more likely to fail or buckle under use. By...
