    I don’t think people could really tell it was four wheel drive so I added stickers to make sure.

    Still waiting on the correct hardware, but I got it together and took it for a drive. So much more clearance, especially at droop.

    Ya while it was mocked up we drew like a turtle shell thing to cover it.

    Got it mocked up, got driveline measurements and figured out how to cover the case.

    So as I’ve mentioned, I’m pretty over bashing stuff under this truck and killing drivelines. So here is my solution. 1/4” thick belly plate that will hold one of MitchMade’s carrier bearing at the back. Likely going to put 3/8” UHMW on it as well. At droop it picks up the middle of the driveline...

    Had some fun this weekend in the Rock Ranger with the fam. Found the limits of the rear driveline lol.

    Its a 19mm drive. Comes with a ratchet wrench and a socket for a drill. When I tested it I used the 3/8 impact that I carry and a socket.

    So 3 times now I’ve needed to get a tire off the ground mid trail and had to use several high lift jacks to make it happen. Have yet to find a decent way to carry a floor jack, so I’m trying this AGM scissor jack out. Lifts one tire with ease and is super light.

    I was messing with it yesterday. If the truck had been recently running for more than say 5 minutes, turning it off for a bit and restarting it would not kill the switch panel accessories. I will say, I believe I only tried it with LED lights running, likely wouldn't work if I had the electric...

    I was attempting to turn around lol. Ended up just backing up like 1/4 mile.

    This thing really impressed me this weekend. I always tow it up to the local trails since the main grade is so long/steep and I just assumed this thing would drive terrible and overheat or something. But roads were super icy and they had CHP checking for chains so I decided to just try and drive...

    It does do that most times but not all, my guess is it depends on current battery voltage/health.

    Switched from a 6 button thingy to an 8 button thingy, also put a switch in the dash to give the panel power so I don’t have to have the ignition on to use it. Much better. Also, am I trippin or does KMC really not offer these in a 17” Superduty pattern? Now idk what wheel to get.
