I am getting a Rhino kinetic rope and soft shackle rated at 28,600lbs. So those would fail before the hard shackle gives way. Am I doing it right? TBH, I got the Gear America shackle just for it looks very early on with the intent of changing it out to something else when the need really arises.
@Snacktime ... Not sure if you will pick up my post on this thread, but I have a Gear America shackle rated at 68,000lbs. Is this too much for what the modular bumper is rated for, which is 40K lbs?
Pressure on the Pawl is typically when the vehicle is parked on an incline; see no reason to follow this procedure on flat ground. Always do so on an incline.
Thanks so much for sharing not just the great pics but including the narrative along the way. A few questions come to mind:
1. Can you share your route in more detail? I live in Phoenix and so just wondering what sections of your trip I can do
2. How do you like Gaia over OnX. I just purchased a...
it is amazing how little of a frame damage it takes to rule it as totaled. A few years ago my neighbor rear ended my Honda Accord. When the shop removed the bumper and showed me the damage to the frame I could hardly see it with my bear eyes..but the shop said it is a safety issue and they...
Awesome job! As I think of offroading and navigating narrow areas adding extra stuff to the sides only impedes this. Ideally, storing on the roof, or above spare wheel does not take away from the vehicles ability to navigate.
@TrailRax I am really curious about where the load-bearing points are on your rack? I love your streamlined design but also love how the Gobi racks are mounted to the Bronco frame. Can you provide some insight here?
Looks awesome! I am very curious on how you were able to fit the KC lights bar and Trailrax roofrack as I am looking at the same setup. I thought I had to get the cutout version of the rack but it seems like you do not have the cut out in the roof rack. I know we need the Bronco attachments...
I realize this thread is about the tires but I could not help notice that you have the. Gobi racks. I am deciding between Gobi and TrailRax and on another thread the person noted a lot of wind noise with the Gobi. Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!
Really nice build! I live in the East Valley and would love to see your platform in person some time. I am a beginner woodworker and have all the power tools to build but would just like to check the design much close. Awesome job!!
Awesome pics and videos!! A few questions for you. What is the antenna you are using? Which brand is your offroad camper? Does that additional antenna make a big difference in signal amplification?
