  1. Diff drop recommendation

    The drop is a combination of spacers/bushings, and a bracket to replace the stock mount that drops the diff ~3/4". The stock diff mounts in a way that has a slight amount of movement. The diff drop keeps this slight movement. Assumedly this is introduced by Ford to allow some play to minimize...
  2. Diff drop recommendation

    After struggling for a year with a diff-dropped M210 front end, I finally pulled it when upgrading to the Dana UFDU. Broken axles, broken diff mounts, broken diff—had 'em all. We worked a lot to get the diff drop to a place where the mounting made sense, and was secure. Ultimately with all these...
  3. Basesquatch overland build with dual battery setup

    Bumping this up...OP, still around? Curious about the inverter and panel-mounted plug. How is this setup wired? Hard to tell where the inverter is? Looks like there is another device behind the panel next to DCDC charger?
  4. Winch Wiring Questions: In-Cab + Handheld Setup

    The wireless solution certainly ticks the functionality desires, but given the amount of re-wiring I need to do, I'd like to figure out a proper hard-wired solution. The winch control "in-out" switch might end up being a momentary-control set digital display—sPod or something.
  5. Winch Wiring Questions: In-Cab + Handheld Setup

    Haha, this certainly seems like the simplest solution. There is a certain allure to a hard-mounted cab switch though...
  6. Winch Wiring Questions: In-Cab + Handheld Setup

    Oh, I think this makes sense. So the winch will "know" which to use whether its the handheld plugged into port, or in-cab switches powered on? Now, I had planned to have an Aux switch-controlled 500A solenoid to turn on the entire winch system. Would I still need to have another "power" swith...
  7. Winch Wiring Questions: In-Cab + Handheld Setup

    Hi there: I have a Warn Zeon 10-S with the 5-pin connection. I'm trying to understand how to get this set up to use in-cab controls, as well as having a handheld port on the outsdie of the vehicle. I will be using a 500A Stinger Solenoid that will be switched by an Aux switch to power the whole...
  8. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Oh wow. That's a huge discrepancy, but kind of makes sense with the aftermarket coilovers? The Kings give 2" lift over Sasquatch? 40's? Body lift?
  9. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Rubbing on front and back, in various spots. It's not much, but enough to make sounds that aren't super pleasant. Thinking a very minimal 1/2"-3/4" body lift could do the trick. Some folks have added shaft limit collars, but they don't work on the Fox's and I don't want to limit travel. Hoping...
  10. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Interesting on the travel of RK coilover vs Fox 2.5—do you have numbers? I am already running the RK Triangulated 4-link and rubbing like crazy on the 37's. (sorry for the thread-jacking @AGinPB)
  11. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Sweet, thank you!! I'm on Fox 2.5 adjustable coilovers which add height to the stock HOSS 3.0. Trail Grappler 37's. Wondering if I'd need to remove them and put the HOSS 3.0 back on to minimize ride height/COG. Or maybe get away with removing some preload...
  12. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Ya, these are all things that can be found. I'm looking for the measurement to flare for an apples-to-apples comparison with my own truck height. Roof rack doesn't work for me with aftermarket. This very much is just for a visual comparison with someone on portals. At the end of the day, trying...
  13. Portals on 38” Nitto Trail Grappler Tires in SD

    Could you give a measurement from bottom edge of fender flare to the ground? So many variables between portals/coilovers/tires—I'm trying to understand how much the portals might change my vehicle height. ...and to mitigate potential unhelpful comments: Yes, I know the specs for each component...
  14. Front diff mount play

    Honestly not sure how to describe it more precisely. I tried above. 🤔 Maybe the designer of the bracket can comment—@TeocaliMG
  15. Front diff mount play

    The drop bracket rotates the diff in a way that creates space above the mounting bolt. We initially did not increase the thickness of spacer/bushing which resulted in a bunch of diff movement. Worked through a bunch of this stuff the guy who designed the system. @TeocaliMG, is this an...
  16. Front diff mount play

    What do you mean?
  17. 6 gauge power distribution to trunk

    "Run a new ground" meaning running an equal gauge wire from the trunk-mounted device back directly to the main battery?
  18. 6 gauge power distribution to trunk

    Can you expand a bit on this upgraded ground? Electrical noob here, and planning out a trunk auxiliary battery system.
  19. Front diff mount play

    Interesting. Mine has always had play and I've attributed it to design, but this has me reconsidering. The assumption was a bit of wiggle room was designed in to allow the diff a kind of self-adjustment to any minor alignment imperfections. I wonder if fixing it very rigidly would effect...
  20. Front diff mount play

    Totally normal to have some play here. No worries at all.
