Subtle differences between the two mounting designs - the VICE setup mounts behind the frame horn and utilizes the tow hook bolts below the frame horn, so it doesn't relocate the bumper. VICE: Swarf:

Interesting... I'd like to see some pictures of the completed install, particularly from the side, as this design appears to sandwich the mounting plate between the bumper and the frame horns, effectively pushing the bumper forward 1/4". Doesn't sound like much, but that's enough to throw off...

I currently have Airlift 1000HD bags inside the coils, but one of them suffered a pinch blow-out on my last trip to the mountains. To be honest I was never all that impressed with them in the first place... Long story short, I just picked up a used set of Timbergrove bags from a forum member...

Still yarding stuff around pretty much every weekend (y)

I mounted the antenna on my toolbox using a cheap angle bracket that I had laying around. I ran a ground wire from one of the mounting bolts down to a ground lug on the underside of the cab directly below the rear seats. The coax itself runs from the console and through the firewall using an...

You can see that area in this picture. It's the section below the CD player that has the gridlines molded into it.

Heck yes, HRRV is only a few minutes from my porch!! Hit me up when you get settled! Thanks! The truck has a 4" BDS suspension lift and 305/65R18 BFG A/T's on 18x9 Fuel Trophy wheels. I wanted to keep a little more air pressure in the fronts because of the additional strain from turning at...

Hutch - The short answer is yes, but... You would likely acquire some significant trail pin striping, as there are sections that weave through some fairly narrow underbrush areas. I've seen hunting camps setup along that route, but they were clearly older trailers that didn't cause any second...

I probably have about 5 hours into this between pulling the console, sipping cold beverages while contemplating ideas, mockup, finishing it out with final materials, wiring and reassembly. The console is not difficult to pull/replace at all, but it is awkward to handle by yourself. There are a...

The trail is locally known as Nasty Creek, although it doesn't follow Nasty Creek proper if you're looking at a map of the area... It's located in the Ahtanum State Forest just West of the town of Tampico, which is about 20 miles West of Yakima.

I don't know which brand(s) you might be considering, but moving up to a 3/4 ton gas Dodge truck will net you essentially nothing in terms of durability over what you already have, given that it uses the same 5.7L Hemi (base engine) and 8HP75 8-speed automatic you already own... The rear...

Our group makes use of good old fashioned CB's for communications, and I finally got around to installing one in the pickup since it sees regular towing duty as well as occasional trail use. I like to keep my stuff tidy and not visually obtrusive, so I spent some time investigating what the...

Something else to keep in mind regarding top hat spacers versus replacement struts - if your truck is equipped with the factory 1" lift (ORP, North, Rebel, etc), you will likely see a slight decrease in lift height if you swap out the struts down the road, as the aftermarket struts are X" lift...

Worked on mine over the weekend...

Haven't had any problems whatsoever. Lift height is a personal preference thing, I'm pretty happy with how the 4" turned out in my case.

Decided to take the truck this weekend instead of the Jeep, just to change it up a bit. Plus we had an extra minion with us this weekend and it was just easier to package with all of our snow gear and whatnot... We parked at our usual spot and aired the tires down. I went down to 15psi up...

Can't see the E-bay link from my office computer, but if those are OEM flares then yes, the push pins are intended to engage holes in the fender. However, lots of threads on the forum addressing this and options to still use them. I went OEM and color match on my Big Horn because I also...

The ride quality change will be more related to the tires you choose versus the suspension lift. The heavier/stiffer carcass on the tires will simply transmit more road harshness than the 'C' load range OEM tires, particularly with a 20" wheel. I'm very happy with the ride quality of the BDS...

Wow, I don't even get that in normal driving w/o a trailer :confused:
