Thanks man I appreciate it! First time cutting fenders and I just winged it, eyeball cut then smashed it all up with a sledge hammer sealed up pretty good. Came out better than I expected honestly haha. And yeah sounds like a welded diff is a bad idea hahaha

Seems like it would be better off-road. This thing is one tire fire right now. Since it’s only a 2wd I’m planning on putting at least mid travel suspension maybe even long travel + maybe at least 37” maybe even 39” tires in the future so I can go over everything full speed. This thing isn’t...

Thank you! I appreciate it.

is it a bad idea to just weld the diff on this thing? I’m thinking about doing it. Not my daily driver but I do drive it quite a bit.

Cleaned up those haggard cuts and sealed off the inner wheel well and painted with rubberized wheel well paint. Looks a lot better now. Finished the rear bumper also way more clearance now.

Thanks for all the help and responses guys I really appreciate it! I went ahead and cut the wheel wells and now this thing looks lifted hahaha it has tons of clearance for the tires. All I could think about as I was chopping my rear wheel well with a saws all was the one of the first comments...

Alright hell yeah im gonna get mini shovels and compressor and farm jack with winch kit. and as far as clearance there’s a lot of clearance up in the wheel wells in the rear but the fender just sticks down, can I just cut that whole fender part off to give it more clearance? Or am I gonna fuck...

Also what would you guys say are the most important or best recovery equipment to get first? Or which recovery equipment do you guys use most often when you get stuck? Go to tool when YOU are stuck in the mud? Sand? Or anything else..?? farm jack? With floor plate? Or can i get away with a...

Ok I’ll get the compressor for now and then add a tank down the road. Maybe get the little more expensive one like the 80-100 dollar viair model. Any good light bar brands you guys recommend? So many options on amazon. Obviously I would love to get those rigid light but those are super...

Which model viair do you have? And how much was it? And what brand air tank do you have? So do you use the small compressor to fill the air tank then use the air tank to fill the tire? Or what is the purpose of having an air tank also? Can I just fill up the tires with the compressor?

Great advice man thank you!! Those things are awesome! I’m for sure gonna order a set of those!! I’ve never seen those before

Whoops didn’t realize I did that weird double post! Sorry. The first one got erased at first so I started over then I posted and both of them were there haha. but yeah ok that makes sense. I will definitely air down all 4 then. I think I’ll just order the viair for now

Ok cool on that thread a guy uses a viair 87p portable compressor said he had it for years with zero complaints and it only costs 50 bucks will that be alright? and yeah the ox selectable looks beast I’m definitely gonna be looking to get one of those soon! no problem for coming on late! The...

Man your so helpful thanks ALOT!! So will a harbor freight little compressor work? the 3 gallon? Or do you mean a compressor and another “air tank”? With the harbor freight power inverter that connects to my battery? Will that work? and I’m definitely gonna get a copy of that book ASAP. Also...

Thanks for the response! I’m so excited to go send this thing. So many people told me it’s dumb to take this thing off-road and don’t waste my time with it just save up for something else. But a truck is gonna be like 4-500 a month payment if I put that into this navigator each month it will be...
