    Do you have any recommendations on a skid plate brand? I am looking at a few options for the rock sliders I will either build my own or I found one that welds into the panels under the door.

    That’s clean looking. I am still trying to figure that out right now. I bought this mostly as a replacement as a side by side. I hated that there were places that my side by side couldn’t get to. It also got to plenty of places that I shouldn’t have taken it. I was pushing its limits. I would...

    Ok, thank you. I have heard an advantage of those style lockers as you can always get the system still running even if the cable stops working off-road. Good to hear you have had a good experience. I think the BDS does not allow you to drop the transmission but the Iron rock seems to have the...

    Haha thanks for getting my goals aligned. I had the much rougher version and not the SXS that offers insane travel. I do want to avoid the tacoma that i had where it was miserable off-road other than forest service roads. Each bump on that was rough. The jeep as it is now with a rough country...

    Hello, In an effort to avoid posting a question that has been asked a thousand times I have read many online forums but still have so many questions. I am coming from a side-by-side and used this as our family's main offroading and adventure vehicle in Arizona (Polaris Ranger Crew). It was...
