I have non SAS Badlands and went with +18 offset which I think is nearly perfect. I wouldn't want any more poke. I found one wheel that I liked with a +25 offset which I think would have been perfect, but I liked this wheel better, with +18. Personal opinions here. I was surprised by how much it...
I used the same adapters for the D ring mounts on the Roadmaster Sterling tow bar I already had. I found a problem with the style of pins used to lock the large pin into the mounts. The wire separates where it loops into the top of the pin and the wire falls off. Not sure if this description is...
Would be simpler to put good cloth seat covers on it. My MGV seats will get pretty hot when the sun shines on them, so was looking for a very good cloth seat cover. I went with Carhartt PrecisionFit cotton seat covers. So far, so good. Something to consider.
I just did my 2 dr Badlands. Did all the painted surfaces except the tailgate, plus the headlights. Did not do the door sills, but I added the factory doors sill guards. It was $2350 and included ceramic coat on every surface that didn't get PPF....top, flares, grill, tailgate, windows, etc...
I'm about to add mine. Isn't there enough movement in the knuckle (swing like turning) to just unthread the inner tie rod from the outer without removing either? That's what I'm going to attemp.
It is amazing how shiny it looks, like a permanent really good wax job. It wasn't as expensive doing it right away because it didn't need paint correction first. Shocked me at first to think about spending that kind of money, but what it provides over a long time period is pretty impressive. Was...
Most of us haven't carried a high lift jack in a long time. A hydraulic jack or taller scissor jack under the axle will handle any tire change. A high lift comes in handy for more serious trail repairs. The last two times I was involved in using a high lift on the trail were to repair a broken...
You have rear tow points, don't you? Then you wouldn't need the receiver adapter. A D ring for the front is all you'd likely need. We've all gone to soft shackles, more versatile and much safer than the metal D rings. A tow strap and a short tree saver strap so you have your own. Any tool bag...
They're being conservative, I'm sure. He was concerned about too much pressure sideways to possibly slip the film. I'm sure it goes with the film mfg recommendations. All good. I take it back in a week for him to go over everything a second time to make sure it's perfect after it settles in...
I ended up deciding to do a complete wrap in PPF. I didn't even know about this stuff a few weeks ago. Mostly concerned with "desert pinstripes" as we call them, brush scratches from off road trails. However, the protection from rock chips, UV, bird crap, and other things made it seem like a...
Installed a wireless phone charger and holder. It's Tackform parts with a wireless charger/holder I already had. They have an adapter to go from the 20mm ball to the 17 mm ball on the phone charger. The charger was attached to the windshield, but this is much superior.
Here's a few pics. These covers come in either brown/camel color or gray. Since my interior is two tone black and gray, I went with gray. Also, this is the cotton duck fabric. Carhartt offers two fabrics, one cotton and one plastic/nylon. Since I'm doing this because the seats get really hot in...
