Depends on your alignment (where the cam tabs are adjusted to) your ACTUAL tire diameter and your offset. I've run 33" to 37" tires on mine. You 100% have to do pinch weld modification for a full stuff 35" tire, and have aftermarket LCAs, pinch weld mod and/or Modify the firewall to fit, stuff...

So we’ve had a few trips out since the fridge. Probably one of my single favorite mods right now for sheer comfort while traveling. Finishing up the solar panel install soon and getting the front ring and pinion repaired as I sheered two teeth somehow. Pic of the current setup at a recent trip.

Got the LandShark Outfitters Reef 40 drawer built today and got a decent mock up of the new rear setup with the kitchen. Started raining so couldn’t go much further but I’m waiting to finish after the rear window molle panels arrive, and after the solar kit arrives so I can make sure everything...

So no pictures to update yet, but went ahead and decided to finish up the last bit of the build. Coming in the next few days; Dometic CFX3 75DZ Tembo Tusk Jumbo Fridge Slide Renogy 200W Solar Kit, 100 aH battery, and 1000W Pure Sine Inverter Camp Chef Mountaineer Land Shark Outfitters Reef 40...

If I recall at 2,500 RPMs we’re at 71 MPH. This is off a few apps since the speedo is off (obviously).

Makes me wish I had picked up more skill at welding. Then again, I’d still need a lift at my house and since we’re moving I won’t be adding that soon. Nice to see someone taking the time to restoring what others would call beyond repair. Excellent work!

So, despite all my attempts and effort we did not end up making it in time for our trip to Moab and settled on going to Land Between the Lakes Turkey Bay instead. I was pretty bummed but it was probably for the best seeing how the rig needed some testing with all the new bits and also so I could...

I agree so much with you that I actually have had them for months. They haven’t been installed to make sure I wouldn’t have any clearance issues (which I currently would have), but with me fixing some clearance issues with my 35’s and the external reservoir lines I shouldn’t have the issue and...

We’ve since swapped tents to the Busch Company Alpha. I still love the rack, but I had to modify it flat to accept the tent since it requires a flat surface to mount. Otherwise everything is still great with it.

Finally getting around to updating this. Been planning for our trip to Moab and the Grand Canyon coming up these coming weeks and wanted to post the updates. Traded out the soft top 23Zero for a CVT/Busch Alpha tent which is absolutely amazing and also grabbed the CVT 99” awning with...

I haven’t been updating much, but the tan isn’t bad at all. Good at hiding a lot of the mud and dirt. Few update photos Fox struts go in tonight, and she goes into the shop for a regear to 4.88 gears and an ARB rear locker mid March for our Moab trip in April.

The 35s are a bit troublesome. My Fox struts are another month out (5-6 months since I ordered) and I’m having to modify the firewall a good bit more. The 23Zero tent is great, unless you’re heavily lifted as it makes it more tedious to set up and take down. We actually just sold it and got a...

A few small updates. Got the rock sliders finally on and coated (also recoated the front bumper using the full on Raptor Liner kit). Sold off the 23 Zero tent and got a year old James Baroud Grand Raid with awning. And have finally finished rebuilding my wheels, fitting the 315/75 R16 KM3s, and...

Update. Running the Camburg arms and a 16x8 -13 wheel (I clear the UCA by about 5-7 mm with the 315/75 R16) and after getting the alignment it rubs fairly bad. I’ll be honest, I don’t know how much lift I have up front since I’m running stock springs on 5100s on the second notch with a steel...

So finally got my wheels finished up and the 315/75 R16 bfg KM3s mounted up. Only doing this so I can drive the car till we tub the firewall but waiting to test full stuff when my new Fox struts come in so I’m not removing things multiple times. Clearance is good for street driving and light...
