Caramba!

I like it, but... I have the Trailrax on top--with not only Heretic lights roof, but also the PakRax on the side, plus the ThorsLIghtning compressor installed--all secured with the six bolts over the rear wheel wells which secure the rearmost hardtop section. All that would have to be dismantled...

And don't get just any M12 x 1.5 lug nuts from the auto parts store. I'm not conversant with the terminology, but the edge of the lugnut is beveled in a special way to meet the matching edge on the wheel. You could crank generic lugnuts down good and tight, but they wouldn't fit right...

You may already be a winner....!

I took a look at Costco.com, couldn't find them. Then a larger internet search indicated that they're available in Canada, not the US. Pity--several of you guys gave the Tux/Phantom pretty strong recommends. A lot of positives on Reddit, too. Edit: I just went to the Tux site, and engaged...

I have a genius for simplifying things--and I didn't spend my time watching the video. Best of all worlds: I see five tires. Put one tire on each wheel, and One tire mounted for your spare. Rotate 5-way every 5,000 miles, and you're good. You're welcome!

Good to know it can handle gravel.

Any extra costs with shipping and the uncertainties of the tariff situation?

People are annoyed by the SUMA logo on the mirror. Big deal! I wonder how many other accessories and modifications they have and proudly bear the manufacturers'' logos? If something were to be printed on the mirror--driver's side--it should be "Objects Are Closer Than They Appear." This is a...

Oh, this is getting complicated! (I park on the street in one of those cities where criminals are coddled.) You get 4 wheel locks in a parts-store package. I needed to protect five wheels. So I bought two packages, with two different keys. I used all eight. So there were two different lock...

Nope! my set is five (4 plus 1 on the spare) with two keys. The problem was the scissor jack. Learned that lesson: I now carry a bottle jack. It was an interesting time: enough guys came out to help with the change, I felt like I was in a NASCAR crew pit! One guy even had an impact driver. But...

That sounds like fun, but it's risky. First, extra wiring could result in a short, maybe ignite something? Also, booby-trapping something is legally risky. It's unfortunate, but if somebody hurt himself because of your defensive hardware, you could be sued, maybe prosecuted. People have been...

Admins usually run a thread of venders' Black Friday sales. Stay tuned!

Consider whether the tow yard is secure. People--some associated with the tow yard; others, not--pilfer from vehicles there. If it's totaled by insurance, you might consider buying it for cheap as salvage. Then you can have it repaired or rebuilt by a shop of your choosing, which may or not be...

Oops! Now get off of my lawn! 😡

@Pops That's probably up to the group organizer/leader. I was on one run, professionally organized, and they insisted on a flashing amber. I bought a cheapie on Amazon and hooked it up to the 6V outlet in the rear, and zip-tied it to my roof rack. Later--I'm mean--I returned it to Amazon in the...

How many will make ArmorDitch Nov. 8? So far, it's just GreenBadlands? Maybe this was just too short notice? @decummins, more info on Polaski, please? Where, when, nature of trails? Thanks!

Sometimes you just know you're the person to yield the right-of-way:

Okay, I'm up for ArmorDitch Saturday Nov. 8.

I'm 50-50 on ArmorDitch Nov. 8. Talk me into it! I was on that group run last year. Their maps and signage (and hence their difficulty ratings) leave much to be desired. If it weren't for the cold, I'd love to try "Double Dog Dare," a deep water/mud obstacle. I tried it then, 4Low/Mud-Ruts/both...
