I can't speak for the OP (especially because it was 3 years ago) but here at 6,000ft my m1009 was a complete dog (so much worse than at near sea level) and could barely maintain 20mph up an incline above 8,000ft (but did fine on trails in 4lo above 8,000ft because it crawls along). Now with the...
How much did it cost you?
All in probably $800
Did you notice any difference?
I did. Moving from 600ft of elevation to 5800ft my cucv was ok-ish to drive. Getting to 8k feet meant putting along well below the speed limits. Now it'll at least move out of its own way
Does it tow any better...
I have the hd's up front as well and they ride good. I've got a steel line winch tucked up in my frame rails (weighs nearly 100lbs with plate and longer cables for the relay box).
I don't have any problems with my 2" spring lift and 33" tires. Really it's when i'm fully articulated and I've got my wheels cut to that side. I think with some careful trimming it would be a non issue.
Excellent. Interested in how you'll route your exhaust. I'm not happy with mine really. I have it running on the outside of the frame and dumping in front of the rear wheel.
I trimmed the rear battery tray and moved it closer to the fender enough to clear everything.
That is a rather small picture. Not easily done on a phone but i'll try on my computer.
edit*
nope still can't get it to work. I shrunk the pic to 480x639 and still says its too big if i try uploading it from the "insert image" icon. The manage attachments isnt working at all for me.
Got it. I ran mine with a straight 3" pipe that dumped in front of the rear wheel, hated it. Put the biggest glass pack I could fit in it and it's much better but still loud. I need to get a downpipe re worked that goes between the engine and frame so I can run full length exhaust again and have...
I did a 1,000 mile trip when I moved from chicago to denver over the summer. I brought, jumper cables, spare belts, spare fuel filter, general tools, air compressor (have an mv50). I also wired up a cigarette lighter so I could keep my phone charged. Only thing I wish I would of brought was a...
