Try to have an idea what you want the truck to do when you are done. I would aim for stability and reliability. A lower center of gravity and mods that won't over stress stock components. I'd go with 33's, adequate clearance without excessive load on steering components. Most of the time...

The group I ride with, trail rides/camps in Marietta, Oh on Memorial day weekend. If there is interest I can add details, Ron

welcome aboard John, Ron

There's another in August. We had a great turn out, a good variety of vehicles, Ron

I'd like to thank the forum members that attended the novice ride sponsored by OHIO4x4 trail riders. I'm terrible with names, but there was a couple that traveled 6 hours from PA, one from Columbus, oh, and a man from MI. I'm sorry if I have missed anyone else. Thanks again, Ron

I installed CKMA12 compressors. This chart may help. Ron http://store.arbusa.com/Assets/PDF/compressorTechnicalSpecifications.pdf

I'll have to check the model number, I installed 2 air lockers in my son's and friends jeep with an ARB compressor, both set up to inflate tires without an air tank, Ron

Be sure to torque the axle nut to spec, this will keep you from trashing your wheel bearing. The rest is pretty straight forward. Torque the lug nuts also, wheels falling off is a bad thing. Good luck, Ron

I'll see what I can find nationally including your area. I would look for a locally established US company. Unfortunately most NAPA parts won't be US made, but for a Toyota it could be OEM. Ron

It seems we've all determined people without respect, discipline, honor or direction are the thorn in our sides

I'm a member of OHIO4x4 trail riders, we travel to several areas for riding and camping. Most of the trail clean up seems to be from "locals parties". But if we don't do our part we'll lose the access to the trails. Ron

Don't purchase a rebuilt/reman axle shaft. At work we use NAPA, I show them for $85 my cost(I have an account), list for $155, limited life time warranty. But "NEW" after market, compare warranties. I don't deal with O'Rielly's, bad history. Hope this helps, Ron

I gave them as gag gifts last year @ xmas. I also had to use mine once, that or eat my can of beef stew, on a trail ride, with my fingers or a knife. Ron

Congrats on the trailer, It's not one I recognize. It looks like a starting great base, I built my trailer as a utility/offroad trailer. I don't care for things that only do 1 thing. I'm sure someone on here has seen a similar one. Good luck, Ron

Streamlight is hard to beat, I have one in all my vehicles. It's hard to beat the life time warranty, Ron

I went with the dexter 3500# axle with electric brakes, no E brake, with the bolt pattern matched to my jeep. First reason was to be able to control the 35" tires and the brakes so it wasn't pushing me down a hill. I haven't regretted not having an E brake, yet. Probably will later, Ron

Very nice work, Sir.

WOW, Now that's cool, can't wait to see the end product, Ron

I haven't noticed any problems in rain at any pressure. In ice and snow I tend to drop the pressure about 4-5 psi for more surface contact, Ron.

Again I like the design, no ill will intended. But, I didn't start out on my trip saying "I think I'll roll my jeep today". A rock shifted and we were off and rolling, Ron
