Some updates from the parts showing up this week. My HiLift jack and mount from FrontRunner showed up. The mount makes the jack completely silent which is nice. No rattling on rough roads or rocky terrain.









This morning my traction board mounts from FrontRunner showed up. Typically I used the ARB brand boards but they are on backorder and these were cheap on Amazon but they'll be swapped out when my new ARB ones show up.

 

You got a lock up there for the mats and jack?

Youll never use the mats unless this!

 

Yeah, they're locked up with cable locks.

does Vossen do these in other offsets? I’m guessing +25mm is too aggressive for a 275/60R 20 even with the 1.5” lift. I had issues on stocks with 25mm spacers hoping that a +35 will work

 

Are you guys seriously using the weather pictured here to justify having traction mats?

 

is that snorkel really usable? will it increase the wading depth of the D2 or is it just for show. I notice the max wading depth is below the air intake hole on the left anyways. I just want to justify my purchase, lol!

 

It's a RAI, not a snorkel. It won't seal the air intake against incoming water or increase your wading depth, but it will let the engine breathe marginally cleaner air in dusty environments such as here in the southwest deserts for example. I heard it makes quite a sucking sound at highway speeds.

 

form vs function?

 

It’s definitely sucking

/the sucking sound comment reminded me of that video
//I like the snorkel

He knows what I’m talking about if he was there when the entire city shut down and left thousands stranded on the roads overnight. It was a riot. I was only pointing it out as an event when they could come in handy since it rarely snows here and sand doesn’t exist. But red clay,...now that’s some gumbo that will paralyze an Abram.
