You're welcome, when doing electrical connections inside a panel or on high voltage ( over 4k volt up to 345k) all the connections are stainless steel bolts and washers on aluminum or copper connectors. I'd at least use stainless

Likewise, I had some good down to metal chips within 500 miles. I didn't do the new tires until the Cali sliders were installed. I haven't heard anything bouncing off the truck since

The washers are a bad idea, zinc is not the most conductive and the plating will start to corrode. Also each " layer" is a corrosion point and will eventually make a bad connection. A bad ground connection on a vehicle can create hell when it comes to electrical gremlins. Im.an IBEW Journeyman...

Pretty sure mudflaps are a " point of delivery" or dealer add on. So the person that peels off the plastic and makes $12 hrs is installing the POD items or simple dealer add on. I know when I order through Ford , mud flaps are a $140ish option if you build it. Toyota is probably the same and I...

I bought this truck as cost per mile would be cheaper than running a 1 ton diesel with $1 more per gallon diesel fuel. After running ethanol free 93 in this 2.4 hybrid a few times it's hard not to grab that handle even at $1.50 gallon more. There is a significant fuel improvement and it seems...

I've had the Cali Raised step edition with kickout and fliier plate. I havebt heard a rock bounce off the fender since. I drive a lot of gravel roads and have a mile long gravel driveway.

Thanks, these were around $750 cheaper for a set of 5 than the Nitto Ridge Grapplers I priced. I was going with the Toyo AT3 or go back with the OG Duratrac not the RT. The RT i had in 20" were nothing like the 8 + pair of original duractracs I had ran. I also got $400 trade in on my...

These are very similar to the OEM tires put on the Ford Bronco Sasquatch edition. From all the reviews they seem to be favorable except for the guys that were hard core wheeling. If im putting a 70k rig off road im not buying a factory truck im having one built. Im going to be in corn fields...

They only weighed 43 lbs, the road noise seems the same. Ride seems very similar but I have put many miles on them yet. I didn't want to put E rated tires on a mid-size truck. I keep a portable Milwaukee inflator and tire kit in the truck. I think e rated are overkill and would affect handling...

Decided to try the Goodyear Territory MT in 275 70r18 on my 25' Pro. I couldn't find any reviews on this tire so I figured that I'd start one. It's a C rated 6 ply with 2 ply " duratech" sidewall and weighs 45 lbs in 275 70r18. I had all 5 installed for $1100. The 275 70r18 will fit fully...

I think im going with the Kuat Ibex. I may be misspelling that. One of the guys on this thread has it on a TH and it looks great and price seemed good for how well built it looked. Has anyone found a good clay to mount the spare tire on bed racks?

I used a m12 3/8 ratchet on the Allen head bolts and slightly bent the tread. Not sure on torque but a 2 bar battery m12 is that rowdy. The ground tabs are east. Just remove and hold the end with channel locks, pliers etc and buzz sides with battery grinder with flap wheel disc. You could...

Sliders went on in an hour with 2 guys. The new video on Cali Raised website is up to date and is exact. My only complaint is the 2 openings the ground lug goes into on the passenger side should be 3/4" taller and at least a 1/4" wider on each side when measured from center. You will need to...

Mine were dead flat but they were also raw. Im guessing the baking during powder does that. Both of mine are curved up on each end. Only the narrow front part is still raised after it's attached. The mounting location is a little farther back. If I had to critique the design it would be tread...

I'll post pics Saturday, I'm going to install them tomorrow morning. The 275 70r18 Goodyear MT will be getting installed sat morning. I really wanted these to help with the gravel getting thrown onto the sides of truck
