Been awhile since an update so here goes:
Put about 5k and one rotation on the Pros this summer, they have performed flawlessly in the mild trail runs/highway miles/camp spot exploration. My sweet spot for optimal ground contact is 28 in the front and 23 in the back unloaded. They are wearing evenly but can ride a little warbly in the cold mornigs. Also a tad loud but nothing to complain about. MPG has taken a hit, hovering around 16 currently. In the process of dialing back the timing to the sweet spot by feel/consumption.
I have used my RTT seen in previous pictures about 20 times. I love how easy it is to fold out, and have had some of the best nights of sleep of my life inside it in the woods. I have decided to part ways with it due to the accumulation of condensation with the temperature swings and humidity up here. Breaking camp early in the morning with a wet RTT, plainly sucks. I have a nice north face ground tent and will work something out for sleeping in the back of the runner.
I love my awning, everyone needs to get an awning. Super handy, super easy, and for something so minimal plays a huge role in camp comfort. Get one. Tepui is nice, but I did have one of my poles already fail and had to be taped. I would go with ARB if I did it again.
No major hiccups on the 3.0 front and the OEM suspension bits are holding together nicely. The 4crawler rear pucks and new moog springs do the job nicely of holding quite a lot of weight in water/gas/wood/supplies/gear.
The TG winch had the bolt that was holding the cable fall out on my foot while doing tree work. Luckily it wasn't under load. I bought some hockey tape from sportsman's warehouse and taped the length of the bare spool then re-tied with a clove hitch. The winch has worked great, and the control box can be seen mounted in the grill.
For the future, I am thinking a budbuilt full-length skid and some TG rocksliders. Rolling around the idea of a safari snorkel; they are fairly ubiquitous and I have seen only a few online. Maybe go with some 31 ko2's for winter on a set of LC rims I scored off of CL. I still need to get some tabs mounted on the bumper to bolt on my fogs - that will happen sooner than later with winter coming on up here.
