Been playing with my jeep haven't been on in awhile. Looks good and looks like your putting it to good use.

I also just switched to the wifes jeep. Put on 35s last week and this week I did 4.88 gears...lol..

Mj wife's jeep Is off limits. Sooo... I bought my own lmao. I did 38s but haven't re gears, 8speed with 4:10s does pretty good. Rubicon with the lower transfer case is amazing.

If they are heavier duty bags they typically mount to the bump stop location on the frame and are configurable for lifted setups. You can get "in coil" bags but they arent applicable for lifted applications that I've seen.

Yes i understand all that. I have bags on my power wagon. Mounted in the bumpstop locations with cradles on the axle. But they are on the outside of the coils…guess i never looked under my half ton to see if the bumps are on the inside.

I'll be honest I haven't been under a 2500 since my 3rd gen. You guys with coils have everything jammed in there huh. Shocks through the frame and all.

Mounting my air tank today.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Sir!...you are a master of achievements and inspiration to us all...i could only dream of coming up with the stuff you do to make that ride just the way you want it and the way you go about it to achieve it...im like i could do that!!why didnt i think of that?...ill keep watchin bro......I like your no frills bullsh** attitude to getting done what you want.

Thanks dude, But I have a super power called ADHD My brain just full sends everything and deals with the consequences after. Its a blessing and a curse .

Combine that with being a cheapskate, and never throwing anything out and you get weird contraptions that end up working pretty good sometimes.

I will literally sit in front of my project, smoke a fat joint and look at my junk pile until I come up with ideas. No sane person would of welded an old winch mount to a hitch receiver. But for some reason I did

The straw that broke the camels back was loading my Moose, It was a Sh!tshow so I did what any sane person would've. Come up with a new design to mitigate that issue moving forward.

 

[olyelr]

Looks more like you broke the moose's back, not the camels lol

 

[olyelr]

What part of canada you in? Ive been up there wheeling at a guys place several times…he goes by Curly lol. Super cool property with insane trails.

 

[Hardracer]

You could come up with one of them pole crane things that go in the corner of the bed and be removable,maybe a removable a-frame hoist thing like the old tow trucks....bet those would hoist that beast up in the bed no problem....dont think I've ever had moose.had bison,bear,elk sh**‐ton of deer and hog,pronghorn,ram..not moose though..guess I gotta remedy that now.
