Sounds good. Direct mail me saying you are committed to the trip/dates and I will sign you up and send you information about the run.

The trails themselves would pose no problem for a Wrangler. Depending on if your rig is stock or modified would determine how fast you could cover ground. I would guess the wheelbase (and stock suspension) of a Wrangler would make for a pretty rough 500 miles though. But don't listen to me, I'm...

Nope! As long as your truck is in good working order and can handle the terrain at a reasonable speed, you should have fun on this trip.

The schedule is looking like this: March 2: Minden to Tonopah March 3: Tonopah to Vegas via a South-Westerly route to Southern Vegas or a South-Easterly route through Area 51 to Northern Vegas (group will decide once everyone has checked in). March 4: (Optional) Vegas to Thermal, Tierra Del Sol...

I have an Undercover Flex installed on my truck. I have been happy with it and it has served me well for almost 8 years now. The problem I am having with it though is the rubber is wearing out and squeaks. So much so I can hear it in the cab of the truck when I am driving (it is a mildly...

It is that time of year again when I start planning a trip for late February to early March (depending on the tdsdesertsafari.com date which is to be scheduled soon). I would like to take the route from Minden to Las Vegas via Tonopah with the possibility of an excursion out to Area 51. From Las...

Just to close the loop, I returned my jack stands to Harbor Freight several months after that notice came out. They had no problem giving me a refund. I forget the specific deal, I think you get a full refund if you take it in store credit, or you get some pro-rated cash back deal if you don't...

I have a gen1 so this may not be accurate for your gen. We had some folks in my neighborhood get their gas stolen so I bought a locking fuel cap. Truthfully I am more concerned with someone putting something in the tank than taking out the gas, so I have kept using it even now that nobody has...

I picked a Glass Mat battery primarily because of its resistance to vibration, which I think is key when off-roading. The cold weather is less of a concern to me because I live in California and our coldest winters get around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. I really like the Project Farm product...

I support the Odyssey Extreme option as well.

Would you call that a transfer case of beer?

Sounds like you are a good guy trying to do the right thing. I will hope for the best outcome for you!

After reading this I was interested in the process of swapping out the shift motor. I found a nice video of the process here... Thanks for the exploded t-case pics! Those were great! Good luck with your refund!

I installed the Geiser progressive springs on the mid perch in 2016 and rode on them for about 25K miles. I thought the road ride felt more connected. It was still a pretty plush ride, but slightly stiffer and more responsive than stock. They held up well off-road too. If you plan to take off...

I like that point of view, it gives a good feel for what it is really like. I have mounted one with a suction cup on the moon roof with a similar feel, I think I prefer that placement a little more just because you don't have look at me driving. From that perspective you can also see the...

I responded to everyone who seemed interested in this thread via PM to their frf inbox. If you didn't get something from me and are interested, send me a note.

I am planning on a multi day trip at the beginning of March. The trip will definitely consist of driving from Tonopah to Las Vegas, but if there is interest we could also tack on a route before that from Carson City to Tonopah. I am making my way down to Thermal CA for what is normally the...

There are a couple threads in here that talk about getting a 37 under the bed. I think it involves a couple things: - cutting some of the metal off the bumper mount to make room for the tire to be moved towards the rear more (provides clearance for the rear diff to have full travel up and back)...

I use this skid on my HF floor jack. It slides around on dirt and does fine offroad. You can also buy a mounting plate to secure it to your bed or a chase rack (which is what I did). https://dmzfab.com/product/jack-skid-plate-for-harbor-freight-2-ton-racing-jack/

I am using a c4 fabworks jack extender on a harbor freight jack. I am running 37s and it works great, but I don't think c4 makes them anymore. You could check to see if they have any they would be willing to sell you. This picture isn't of mine but it is an example of what it looks like. It...

I am back up and runnin'! Installing the glass was much easier than I expected it to be. Big thanks to Roger at Mission Valley Ford who was able to locate some glass for me with only a day turnaround time and minimal charge for the rush order.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Eric!

The assumption that I left stuff visible in the cab isn't correct. They ended up stealing my sun glasses, a knife, an old GoPro, and an aluminum water bottle. All of which were hidden out of sight in the center console. The bed cover and tailgate remained untouched, though there wasn't anything...

My truck was broken into the other night. The thief broke both of my drivers side windows and climbed into the cab and took some things. Does anyone know if there is something like a mercury switch or radio sensor which could be added to the existing alarm system so that it would trigger if a...

In my most humble opinion, the last Raptor was made in 2014.
