Took the wife to a nature preserve in Lakeside, AZ on her birthday. Then a nice dinner at a nearby resort. I ALMOST got those off-road tires a little dirty!

I want that system so bad !!

If or when you purchase please read my thread on it, the last few posts to save yourself a headache!! It is a great setup, but due to the lack of key instructions, it can be very frustrating getting it installed.

Once I learned the secret, well yeah I can pull it out and put it in without much effort. But heh the reason I still have the tape there is because I will need to take it out to put the ARB pressure controller on, then I will be finished.

Had the AGS in wheel on board compressor kit install. Tested in my driveway. 17 to 36 took 1:32ish per tire. Love the on/off switch on the AUX switch. Excited now to do it while exploring. Thanks @4x4TruckLEDs.com for the discount on the kit!!

Also got my EcoFlow 800W alt charger installed for Eagle1’s mobile power.

I’m ready for the trail!

I am looking at the AGS spare tire kit option for adding an ARB dual onboard air compressor. How do you have it hooked up to Aux switch 6? I thought the ARB dual compressor required being connected to Aux 1 or Aux 2? Or does it not matter since it just a switch and the compressor is connected directly to the battery?

Ran "Cliffhanger" in Sedona. One of the few trails up there I have never done with any of my vehicles. Funtreks rates it "challenging" due to the shelf at the end. It'd probably be easier in a side by side but definitely need 4Lo and high clearance with a full size. It wasn't really that bad, but the ledge road about 2 miles in is indeed pretty tricky. Found getting back up it a bit worse surprisingly than going down it since definitely have to worry about sliding a bit sideways towards the, well... cliff. No good action shots of this part unfortunately since I was solo with my kids. The pictures on the internet of this obstacle do not do it justice though, it was worse than I was expecting.

Probably not as scenic as some of the other famous Sedona trails like "Broken Arrow" and the "Outlaw Trail," but part of the reward was only seeing a couple of side-by-sides coming out and having everything at the end to ourselves. Beautiful day in the mid 60s also.

1 mile round trip hike to Oak Creek and the homestead ruins was pretty neat also. I'm amazed at the amount of trip reports where people were too lazy to do the walk.

Picked up my wine club order at Page Springs Cellars on the way back to I17. Definitely a successful day trip out of the valley.

How do you have it hooked up to Aux switch 6?

Yes sir! It’s on AuX 6.
The guys who installed it had it tied directly to positive accessory terminal on the battery and grounded to the frame.
Seems like I read somewhere you can blow a fuse if it’s not grounded to frame.
It’s fabulous. Aired down and back up, whenever I got to my desired psi I could just flip the aux switch. Magical. Small lazy things in life.

My bff and I went out to Windrock in TN yesterday. But really for the day it was “Fogrock” . It was his first off-road trip in his ‘24 WildTrak. Fun day!

This was where we started Trail 8 (T8), a short loop off of G1. Listed as a moderate trail, but with all the rain and mud we found it to be pretty gnarly.

Yesterday I installed IAG mini mud flaps on the front of my rock rails and did a little “off road” exploring of a nearby neighborhood construction site where I tried out the 7MT crawler gear for the first time. That was pretty cool.

Hasn't been done yet, but yesterday I finally ordered 37's. Going with the Fury County Hunter R/T, 37x12.5 on the factory 'squatch rims. Since Ford Performance still has %15 off ($154.70), ordered the Ford Performance tuner. Hoping to get the tires on this week or early next week, tuner once it gets delivered to the dealer and I can make an appt. to let them install it. On the Ford site, it was $42 for installation.
Also got the RC tailgate spare tire relocation and reinforcement bracket on its way.

Just got back from a camping trip in the Chiracahuas.

Spent the last four days off and on replacing the notorious Bilstein OEM shocks w/ Bilstein 6112’s. This is what they looks like when they’re leaking. Set the circlips at lowest position. Gained 3/4” lift On all four corners. Didn’t really want to lift above stock, just gain back lost lift due to added weight. We’re going to Moab mid August and not willing to take any chances on what will be a 5k mile trip. So I’ll miss out on a rear pair freebie.

Added the Rough Country High Winch mount, Smittybilt winch and Turn Offroad bull bar. Happy with the install and hoping I don't have to use the winch on a self recovery!

A few learning things at least for me...

First long day started with a lot of modification. First up with the SuperWinch control box relocation. Works great but had to drill out bolt pattern for Smittybilt control box and ended up having to chop some of the bracket arm off with a chop saw to let the box set flat.

No pictures, but added the LoD Black-O.P. Front Bumper Frame Tie In Brackets. Turns out that you have to cut off the "ears" off the bottom of the frame brackets. They don't fit with the skid plate on the Badlands.

Added the power relay and tied that in to Aux 4 to control power to the wince.

Finished the install with the Turn Offroad Bull Bar. This replaced a DV8 bull bar that would not work with the Rough Country mount.

Happy with the install and now ready to head out on the Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Death Valley, Southern Utah trip in April.

 

[KRAKEN]

Did few mild trails around a friends place in southern Tennessee.

Replaced original 2 piece lug nuts with one piece.
