Over the weekend, I installed the new 2.5'' RC lift with the UCA and new diff bracket and track bar bracket. The front struts were a huge PITA reinstalling once I put the spacers on top as they DID NOT want to go back in. However, the diff bracket and track bar bracket were easy to install. The...
OP, what was your outcome for the clock spring? I installed a rough country 2.5 in SAS lift over the weekend. I was unaware of the damage that could occur when unbolting the intermediate steering shaft; apparently, the steering column can over-rotate and break the clock spring. Curious to hear...
I've got takeoffs from a 4DR 2.7 installed on my 4DR 2.3. After installation, the front was almost level with the rear. I now have the Rough Country hidden winch mount and modular bumper upgraded from the capable bumper on the front. The rear sits up about an inch higher than the front with the...
I ordered a grabber arm too and will try it out tomorrow. The problem we’re running into is there isn’t a lot of meat left on the clutch handle after trimming it to be able to turn it and not hit the hose. The socket fit perfectly on the handle once trimmed and turns great with the extension and...
Unfortunately, you do have to pay all up front and last week I was told it’s looking more like the 7 week mark, potentially even longer for first orders to start shipping. I placed my order April 18th, so I hope they ship soon, as my wife bickers every time she gets in, my mother recently too. I...
I completely understand, and no argument here about the ever-changing supply chain. The issue I have is with the companies that hop on here to do these "pre-orders/group buys" before an item is even close to the manufacturing phase. Then, charge full price upfront, and when someone wants to...
Do we get charged upfront when placing an order or when the order ships? If charged upfront, can we cancel at any time without penalty? For instance, say the ship date of Aug comes and goes. Can I cancel at that time and get a full refund?
Yeah, I had the capable bumper from the factory, and my BD also came with the metal skid plate. So, I guess the difference is between the skid plates. I'm emailing RC to let them know of the discrepancy.
So I think the reason why some folks are short two bolts/washers is because of the metal and plastic skid plates. As you can see, the plastic skid plate uses (6) bolts:
But the metal skid plates on the BD and BL models use (4) bolts as shown (from Rough Country's instructions also):
So...
I have not mounted the power disconnect module yet. I forgot which thread I read it on, but apparently, Warn recommended to not use a power disconnect. So I’m a little hesitant to mount it.
I think cutting the handle is a viable option. I’m going to pick up your Amazon cart and see if I can’t...
Yeah, I see the difference now. Both handles from each winch are pointed in the same direction, but the Badlands Apex rotates 180 degrees. It also has to turn from the 9'oclock to the 3'oclock in a counter-clockwise direction, and once it rotates just past 90 degrees, it hits the hose coming...
When I turn the clutch from engaged to free spool, it hits the large hose halfway through the turn from the intercooler. I assume yours spins under the hose?
Just finished up getting it through. A little bit of a pain, but managed. I’ll grab some Velcro and tuck it away as well. Thanks again for the idea.
I think the handle on your Warn switching from engaged to free spin is orientated the same way the as my Badlands. Do you have issues switching...
Appreciate it! I didn’t think to run the controller cable through the firewall into the cabin, as the cable I have is extremely long as well (I believe 12 ft). I’ll most certainly do this now. Thanks for the tip.
