I've been to lonesome lake and on the FS roads around Greenwater as others have posted. Usually go with my friend in Bonney Lake with a built jeep. It's a good area, but snow can get pretty deep in spots...especially if you slide off snow pack into rut on the side of a road. If going solo, have...

Is anyone interested in purchasing my take off factory rock rails? I've got about 12k miles with them so there are some chips and scratches on the powdercoat on the bottom of the rails, but overall they are in great shape. They haven't been bent on rocks or anything. I've got all the hardware...

I’ve got a rackattach. It’s built like a tank. The anti wobble bracket it comes with is nice. It’s basically a bolt that threads through the hitch and into an insert inside. It definitely keeps it from wobbling. I had the wobble bolt loosen a little bit during a 2k plus mile trip to Montana with...

This retro look is damn sexy.

My profile pic is one of my favorites from this year.

I hit -12F on I-15 in Montana between Helena and Great Falls when I was hunting back in November. Everything was fine. Only complaint was 40mph headwind while doing 80mph on the interstate was literally making the front windows rattle, but there wasn't much I could do except slow down.

Think the midland 575 would fit in that same spot behind the tail light?

Helps a ton! I like your install, might mimic it. If I'm going with a base unit I may as well go as powerful as I can...I don't mind trimming the glove box. Is you plug for the mic connected to the mountain 2 metal molle panel? I kind of dig how @Bo-Ronco put his plug through the plastic of the...

Any plus to using the MTX 575 over the 275? I want to install a GRMS radio in some fashion but I don't really know which to buy. I like these mic control setups to hide the base behind the dash so I'm just deciding which to buy. Thanks for your write up!

Cool, thanks for the reply. I'm starting to lean more towards the smittybilt x20 gen2 because both the winch and control box are a little smaller than the badland, but I'm still keeping this as an option.

I am looking to do pretty much what you've done here with the RC mount. Was thinking of going with the Apex 12k winch, but the smitty seems a little smaller. Is this the 10k xr20? How did you mount to the top of the fuse box?

How hard was it to relocate the control box the way you did for the apex 12000 winch? I'm considering doing the same. Any tips?

Here's what my platform looks like with the Deepsleep pads. Perfectly level and comfy!

Haha! Ripping wood is just doing a long straight cut on a table saw or with a circular saw. Scrap joists are just that, scrap pieces of ceiling joists I had in my shed. A slip knot is a knot that slides and is adjustable, which is something I’m changing because I don’t want it to slide anymore...

I bought 1/8 inch angle steel and cut/ground to the dimensions of the drawing provided by OP. I only used one mounting hole and used the existing bolt for the crash bar, but I flipped it the other way so it screws down instead of up. For the rear bracket I used 3/16 steel for a little more...

Any third row SUV needs to be on a full size truck frame. Period. Craning a third row into the back of a 4Runner, Explorer, or Honda pilot does nothing but create an uncomfortable ride for the people who jam into the back, not to mention it destroys cargo space. Proper third row vehicles are...

I just run the standard bag it comes in. Might buy a box later. I use a 4 tire inflator/deflator…the MORRFLATE. I can air all 4 Sasquatch tires from 15-40 psi at once in about 2-3 minutes.

NAPA maxitrac. It's faster than ARB Dual and its 100 bucks.

Thanks man! I need to get around to bolting the rears on.... the brackets and flaps are cut. The material held up well smashing through snow drifts in Montana. The sides of the bronco were clean after 2.1k miles this week with 300+ in 4wd on dirt and snow roads.

I built my Mudflaps using your templates with slight modification and different flap material, more like the rockblokz. I haven’t mounted the rears yet but the front performed well on a Montana mule deer hunt and on other muddy roads around the PNW.
