October 2025 Updates...
1. RCI Rear Shock Mount Skids ordered (on sale) Will update with pics when complete.
2. Jack mount in bed using OEM rail ($29.99 mounts from Amazon) Pic below.
3. Working on installing ARB rear diff breather kit. Will update with pics when complete. Had to get creative with locating the valve/filter.
4. Installed Victory 4x4 Center Console Molle panels (on sale).
5. Working on wiring GMRS hard mount radio in cab. Will update with pics when complete.
6. Addressed tire rubbing issues. See below for details and pics.
I had a lot of tire rubbing on a recent trip up to Maine where I aired down to drive part of the Golden Road on my way to fish the West Branch of the Penobscot. I got some help from Lewis Off Road again to figure out exactly where it was occurring and address it. Three changes: Removed rear mud flaps, re-routed wiring in driver side front wheel well over the frame and removed shield, and trimmed a small amount from the back side of the front wheel wells at about a 45 degree angle. No more rubbing, even when aired down to 20psi. (I had removed the front mud flaps and crush pads back when I first had the new tires put on - see original post above.)
Here's the jack mounted. Ignore the oar, snow scraper, rope and blue sling.
Here's the wiring routed over the frame.
And finally, here is the minor trimming.
