Kuat is a rebranded rak attach. These and the yakima back swing are all about the same price. Wilco's hitchswing is the most expensive, but looks solid. The swinging hitch is 5" higher and canted at 5* to help with departure angles. I'm leaning toward the Wilco, but I always seem to want the...

This is what happens when you don't loctite them...

How's this? It's 1/4" steel if I remember right. Then a spray can of bedliner did a good enough job to blend it. Or you can buy AEVs paint at $20 a can.

I have the AEV, which also has a recessed winch. I wasn't a fan of the full width, so I chopped it. Pictured below with my warn 10s

Fronius has a tig version called the Accupocket which weighs in at 31lbs. I have not used one personally, but have heard good things about it. It's in the $2-3k price point. It can be powered via battery, outlet or hybrid. I don't weld enough to justify one. I also don't know how much...

They are all improvements over the last. 3 to 3+ was a better waterproof housing, audio improvement and truer blacks. 3+ to 4 brought image stabilization. Below is a nice comparison chart I found on unsponsored. YouTube has a bunch of comparisons videos. But I’d suggest getting a cheap used...

I added the dewalt dcf899 to my kit 2 years ago. It’s pretty beast. Setting 2 puts my lugs right about 100ft lbs. Milwaukee just released the 2767 which claims 1400ftlbs breaking torque. IMO, It’s a toss up between dewalt 20v/60v and Milwaukee 18v line. Milwaukee has a damn good 12v line.

The 2.3” I got are plenty long. After a few months on the jeep and three tire rotations I can’t recommend the ones I bought. The finish is cracking and they are deteriorating fast. The eBay seller did give me a full refund. My TR HD17s with the 2.3” lugs.

I started running the infamous google searches on where to go on wheeling in Australia and well, most look like touristy drive over a speed bump and splash some mud on the fenders. I remember seeing some Aussies here and was wondering if you (or anyone) had suggestions on where to go? We will...

We got about 4" and half the city shut down. On my way home someone managed to do this... Our city goes full retard when anything falls from the sky. Edit: btw yes most of the snow melted by the afternoon...

These are what I was considering... I went with the racelines for my new 60s. Still waiting on delivery.

Another one moving to tons and looking to sell the current setup. Everything is in good working order. Located in Northern VA. I am not looking to ship. - Front/Rear 1310 JEReel drive shafts (for a 2012+). *The rear has a new slip and was re-balanced and re-coated locally less than 5k miles...

It's coming along great! Curious what you used to get the like new shine to those wheels?

Your post convinced me to pick one of these up from Amazon for $40 vs the extra zero for the safe jack setup. I wanted to report back after I used it and I am glad you pointed it out. I used it last night to change the front calipers on my Titan with a 6" lift and 35's. It worked great and...

Those look like they will work for me. It's got 21" of lift which should be sufficient up to 40's. Although, I don't think I'll be able to make it all fit in the tiny cavity storage in the back.
