The mudflaps are not that big of a deal. I installed the shorter ones Arks and it’s just fine after having been on a 16 day trip in the mountains and deserts of Idaho, Colorado, and Utah. What is probably more important is to replace the Toyota splash guards in the front wheel wells with Ark...
My RTT weighs 175 and the bedrack weighs 150. I haven't looked at my video footage yet but I know when the flex happened which was 3/4 way up Medano Primitive Rd. There was a sudden steep hill paved with rocks going around a corner. I had to use the "crawl" mode and the back end dragged on...
Hey Moundman, here it is. Just got back last night. Had planned on camping there but the wind was about 50mph with higher gusts. Had to go into Hanksville.
On my first serious blue trail on Medano Primitive Rd, it seems that with the weight of bedrack and RTT, my tailgate latch sprung slightly and now jiggles with warning light on instrument cluster display. On the way back to Florida, I have just stopped in at the Alabama dealer I bought the...
Today I had a successful crossing of Medano Pass from Great Sand Dunes NP west to east on Medano Primitive Road to CO SR 69 in the Trailhunter which performed flawlessly. That is what the Trailhunter was made to do.

If you are using CarPlay connected to your iPhone, and a text comes in, if you are playing music from your iPhone, the sound should mute. If you are playing a non-iPhone music source (FM/AM/SiriusXM, whatever)the sound does not mute, because your iPhone does not have control of that music...
The bumper is great and the Badlands Apex 12000 winch fits inside the bumper perfectly, did not have to remove or re-position anything including the solenoid on top of the winch to mount somewhere else (as in the CBI video). The total weight up front with bumper and winch is about 120 lbs...
Dude, Factory Butte, Henry Mountains, and Moonscape Overlook. Three of my favorite places on earth. Heading that way from Florida in 3 weeks.
My CBI super stock in almost identical, I did not want to disturb the sensors and radar. Yotamafia wired the winch this morning, I also can reach in...
