Awesome. Thanks for watching. I am glad you got your PW back. Fortunately, I haven't had any engine issues at this point but I only have around 10.5k miles on the truck so far.

I did not regear and my truck handles it fine. However, I do have the 8 speed transmission that has a really low gear that makes a difference in acceleration. Sounds like you may have the 6 speed transmission which would probably not perform the same with the larger tires so it may need to be regeared to perform the same.

They are White Knuckle Off Road sliders. I have a video on the install on the channel.

Thanks. It was a blast. Just recently was on Trail 51 going down in the other direction when it was pretty muddy and presented some different challenges.

That mud was slick and got thrown all over the truck and underneath. Definitely slippery trails that trip.

Have to at least break in the engine for 600 miles on the PW first…

Just a little balancing act. 😁

Unfortunately 37”+ spare will not fit underneath. With some coercion you can fit a 35” spare in that spot. I have since upgraded my tire size to 38s and keep my 38” spare in the bed as well.

@ Was a lift needed for 38s?

@@luisllanes2822 Doesn’t hurt. Will need to do some trimming including front bumper (have a video for that) and a little more aggressive trimming at the front inner fender. See this video for some trimming details. ua-cam.com/video/8RqeHG-ekgs/v-deo.html Also, if you want all of the build details take a look at the Origins playlist…

I am running a 4psi differential right now. Depends on how much load I have in the back as I might decrease that differential. I basically measure the loaded tire height on the front and the back and adjust pressure accordingly.

So all of the hardware comes in the provided kit and it all fit and worked well. No extra special tools required. Don’t need a nutsert tool…

@@redbeastadventures so they have something that goes in the hexagonal holes? Is it like a nut for the backside with a special tool to reach in? I’ve seen that sort of thing before

@@GarmiOffgrid If you download the installation instructions which were pretty decent, it shows the detail. It is a nut attached to a plate which you hold in place through one of the openings with your hand or a pair of plyers and tighten them up.

@@redbeastadventures awesome thank you! I did try going to real truck online and when I attempted to look at the instructions it didn’t seem like it showed that portion. Maybe I was on the wrong thing. I’ll try again tonight. I was trying to get ahead of it and make sure I had everything before they showed up but it sounds like I’m probably good to go! Thanks for the replies and awesome truck you got there!

@@GarmiOffgrid Try the Go Rhino website maybe?

Awesome. Glad it helped. They were great steps. I have since then switched them out to White Knuckle Offroad rock sliders. Video on that as well along with a video of showing the D6 sliders after a few trail runs in the Origins playlist… ua-cam.com/play/PLZ-VTbP25ycOOMEGlJYuoCyHsBKE4AZbo.html

That Tracker held its own. We had a great time at Windrock.

That spare tire measures 34” in diameter unloaded. Under load it is not as tall like most other tires. In general is it 1” bigger in diameter than the PW stock tires loaded or unloaded…

Thanks. Hopefully the hoops will make a difference on the obstacles out on the trails.

I do have a video with details up on the channel…

@ Yeah I just saw it. Looks awesome!

Thanks. I am the first to have the side hoops as I worked with Chassis Unlimited on the specifications. I believe they will be offering it up on the website eventually. However if you reach out to them I am sure they could hook you up sooner if needed.

I have thought about it. Will see how it goes and see if it becomes an issue. It is around 6” lower than the bumper…

Thanks. Looking forward to testing it out on the trails!

Thanks. A commitment for sure once you start cutting…

Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to testing it out on the trails!

Thanks. Definitely a more substantial rear bumper that could take a hit without folding up like a piece of tinfoil. 🤣

Thanks for watching! I believe out on the trails at night the rock lights would help with someone spotting you. However, you can’t really see much of the rock lights from inside the truck. On the side lights, some people point them straight out, but I would think that would end up with more of a long distance lighting feature. I am planning on aiming the side lights up a bit (but still pointing down some and still angled out) to complement the lower “fog” lights. For up close right in front of the vehicle, those “SAE wide” version (white and amber) work very well that are mounted in the bumper below the headlights.

Thanks. Morimoto makes some great lights.

That’s what I hear. I’m also looking at Diode dynamics so who knows

Thanks!

🙏

Thanks!

Thanks! It was a great trip.

Thanks!

Use a few pieces of tape and a pen to mark where the hood matches up to the mounting brackets on the tape and then put it back in the same spot. Do one side at a time. Remove the tape and good to go…

Here is another video with the Rock and Ditch light installation. Didn’t show the tape trick on the video though…. ua-cam.com/video/i_OT5QCXNWY/v-deo.html

No you can full flex with 37s and stock suspension. Check out this channel to see it in action with stock suspension…. www.youtube.com/@rickburnham5796

If you switch to my wheels you will want to remove that plastic trim right behind the front wheel at the door. Also, you can pull the inner fender liner back some to give more clearance. See this video…. ua-cam.com/video/NRTsNkz0zlA/v-deo.html

@@redbeastadventures thanks for the info. Im going to have to go for the 37s then. Im in north west Ga this week if it doesn’t ice over I’m going to try Buck town road and caches valley road

37 would not fit in the normal spare location. At the time of this video, I switched out the 33” spare with a 34” spare Toyo RT Trail and it fit with no issues. You could probably squeeze a 35” spare in that spot with a ratchet strap and air it down. Now I have 38s mounted and have a 38” full size spare that I keep in the bed. ua-cam.com/video/xbj8WSPYRRU/v-deo.html

I liked the tires. I decided to go to 38s and sold those tires with around 5000 miles on them. They worked well.

@ cool thank you. I’m considering getting some.

The shop scrapped the metal…

It is a great rack and very robust.

@@redbeastadventuressorry, actually meant to respond to their transmission skid you installed. I use a topper so no rack for me.

@@rickburnham5796 The engine/transmission armour is a great product as well.

For sure. Great to hear that the bumper is holding up well. Stay tuned for a new high clearance Octane rear bumper version with a special addition. Hopefully it will be mounted within a few weeks with a video to follow.

@@redbeastadventuresgood plan…very nice, there is an owner out here with their high clearance version that requires trimming the bed.

@@rickburnham5796 Nice. It does require cutting the bed at the back area behind the rear tires.

@ yeah that will be great on the trails. I run an inexpensive Rough Country rear bumper, removed the lower bed “trim” and plug a skid plate into the receiver. The RC offers a lot more clearance than the factory bumper! I’ve also removed the resonator and tailpipe, using a 90 off the factory muffler. No builds on my UA-cam channel but I do have a bunch of short vids running obstacles.

@@rickburnham5796 Nice. After I install the rear bumper I will be removing the resonator muffler and extending a custom pipe out but high up to keep as much clearance as possible.

Thanks. I am planning on making some trips that direction in the near future.

@@redbeastadventuresyou won’t regret it!!

No. They are Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm Bead Grip Matte Black Wheels.

June 2024

Here are the specs for the tires and suspension…. Milestar Patagonia M/T 02 38x13.5x17 D2 tires Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm Bead Grip Matte Black Wheels Thuren 1-1/2” PW Front Kit with Thuren Coils, Fox 2.0 IFP Shocks and Thuren Front Track Bar Carli R2 Rear Coils, Carli End Bar Links, Thuren tuned Fox 2.0 IFP shocks, Thuren Rear Track Bar If interested you can check out the videos in the Origins playlist as it has all of the build details on this truck.

As a matter of fact, I have. I took them offroading several times. One of the last times on Coppinger Cove (very rough trail), I did pull the longer passenger side loose at the rear seat area. However, I took a look at the "rubber" pad that I put in to push up against the metal and it dissintegrated. So I got some more robust rubber to use between the end of the rod and the seat bracket then reattached it back and it is super solid now.
