I finally had a break in the rain yesterday and got it done. First, I'll say that I'm totally comfortable cutting into a bracket that has no apparent function. Anyone trying to refuse warranty coverage would find the law on my side unless they could prove this modification caused whatever...

Just a little bit of the bracket. It isn't structural and my understanding is that WD has only seen it on the Trailhunters when they did a small number of installs in their shop. I'll prime and paint it, of course. And I'll take pics to share. More later... I think the weather in my area (and my...

After a couple of texts with support, I got a call from Jeff directly. It was a good conversation. I'm impressed with the way it is being handled thus far. I'll finish getting it worked out over the next few days and report back with details as time allows. The short version is that I am likely...

I would never cut the frame. Maybe the bracket that is welded to the frame, but more likely (I hope) I will just work with WD to have them make it right.

These took more than 8 weeks from time of order and now I've got a fitment problem. And a group ride that I signed up for next Saturday. Frustrated, to say the least. Does anyone know what this bracket is for that is welded to the frame at the rear of the truck? There is not a cutout for it on...

☕🕺🔑 I couldn't resist responding with emojis vaguely representing you starting your truck with the little teapot song and dance. It was either that or I'd have to create a TikTok account. 😆 Good luck with the aftermarket solutions. Sounds like there's something out there that will meet your needs.

Twin brushless for sure!

Nice! I wish I could recall who said it wouldn't fit. What's the black panel for? And how are the controls of the compressor accessed? I'm assuming the OEM controls aren't connected.. or did you figure out a way to use them with the ARB comp? Any tips on doing the installation? Again, many...

Can you tell me what I'm looking at? I see the external result, but can't figure out exactly where this is mounted. Starting to be hopeful! More details please. And thank you!

Do you have a solution for the hybrids? Specifically, something to replace the onboard OEM compressor on the Trailhunter that is more powerful? Would be awesome if it could go in the same location, though I'd be interested regardless of where it would need to be mounted (but not in the bed --...

Cool idea. It looks like it would require relocating the rear view mirror cam. Maybe v2 can address that.

Two nice choices! I don't have direct experience with either, though I have had the similar ARB Zenith winch bumper on my 2024 Trailhunter for a little over a year now. Although not quite the same, maybe some of my observations will be useful when weighing your options. There are pics of my...

I use these mounts to attach my farm jack to the rail in back of the cab. They work well and are inexpensive compared to some mounts. Not sure if they could be adapted for your setup. They are beefy (all metal). There's a pic in my build thread linked in my sig. (direct post link here)...

(n)😲 Wow, so sorry to hear this. Thanks for posting about your experience. While my previous interactions have been good, this is really bad to hear. I appreciate you posting it adjacent to my old recommendation so people can see that not all have had good experiences. Ugh.

Not at all! It's all helpful and genuinely appreciated. (y)

Yeah, I've got airbags and will probably rely on those when it is on. It is pretty light. Might not need to use them. The tire weight isn't quite 1:1 since it is already in the rear, but there is a slight difference for me between the weight of a 33" stock size and my 35". Thanks for the info...

I've been watching this closely after waiting to find the right solution to carry a spare 35". The Trail Swing does look like the better option for me too. Two questions...which can wait until you have more experience with it if you choose. 1. Do you think you will need to beef up your rear...

It depends on what you want to do with the truck. For example, I wouldn't put running boards on it if you plan to do any significant offroading with it. The rock sliders on the Trailhunter are frame mounted and can take the weight of the truck when needed on rocky trails. There are some...

A quick update. I'll add pics of the mods down the road. Some other pics just for fun are below. I added the front lower arm skids so both ends of those new Dobinson trailing arms are protected now. I purchased a steel gas tank skid from Cali Raised, but it came in a day late and I didn't have...
