    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    The biggest downside is with eco hubs and original gears even in mode 1st gear down steep slopes you’re ridding the brakes way more. With just original gears mode 1st does a good job at keeping to a crawl down steep grades.

    Highway gears or the Eco Hubs or both

    Traveled 20,000 mile on highway gears 3.07. Changed back to original gears and eco hubs this past fall and traveled another 14,000 miles. I definitely recommend the original gears and eco hubs. Any more loss of power and I really would not be happy.

    Anyone Interested in Winch Mount Platform?

    So correct on flat mounting a winch relying on the 4 bolts is taking the bolts to max capacity. Rotate the winch 90 degrees and weld the heck out of it and then puts the stress on the bottom and not the bolts.

    Rear axle shaft

    For the record screw in the longest 3/8 bolt into the end of the shaft and it will give you leverage to reinstall it.

    Anyone Interested in Winch Mount Platform?

    Just measured the rear outside to outside of the shackle mount is 34 1/2, front is 34. So a 1/4” spacer on each side for the front and you’re golden!

    Anyone Interested in Winch Mount Platform?

    If anyone needs more photos of mine, let me know! My number one goal was keeping it tucked as close to the cross member tube as possible. I do like the idea of your design especially if it fit the rear! Then could possibly keep it on the rear and move it forward when needed.

    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    So the other day I bought one Monroe 65456 shock. Took one of my front shocks off of my 2003 truck. The Monroe compressed and rebounded way way easier than my old original shock. So I returned the Monroe and reinstalled the original shock. Next I would like to get my hands on a NOS shock and...

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    I’ve driven mine over 34,000 miles and hundreds of off road miles. Yes the front axle steering u joints clunk when in mode! Makes a terrible noise. It doesn’t even require full lock turning I’ve experienced it in half turn primary when there is good traction. This past fall I replaced the drive...

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    Y’all are to funny! So you can sleep better at night, our parking brakes work by letting the air out of the brake cans and then the 4 separate brake cans have extremely strong springs that engage the brakes. The lack of air is a good thing. Highly unlikely all the springs would fail. Typically...
