Yep, I'm aware. I was going to install LT255/75r17 BFG's. I was waiting for the new KO3, but gave up and got these instead. Plus, I'm not driving as much as I used to and these will work great in our SoCal mountains and deserts.
Finally got everything fitted! The back row with the exception of the armrest/cupholder area is MUCH simpler to install. Almost have to do a 90% tightness on the front bucket seats, leave it to settle for a few days, and then do a final adjustment/tightening.
Here’s the install completed. I installed the lights up front and ran the wire through the grommet in the firewall and followed the main wiring harness across the fuse box panel below the steering wheel and snaked the wires behind the dash and through the duct. You can’t see the wiring at all. It’s a real clean look and it’s easy to hit the switch.
Should be a nice update!
New light day. I also got new brackets for the SS3 rounds, since I lost the brackets...
I ordered Paranoid Fab brackets to install the SS3 rounds as fogs in the ARB bumper and SS2s as marker lights. The SS3 above will be replacing my ditch lights. I currently have Dark Defense ditch lights. They're really bright, but they are spot lights. These will be flood lights. Broader beam, but not as far out. I have also been switching most of my lighting to white instead of amber. The fogs will stay amber but they can be switched to white by buying new lenses, if I so choose.
I'm jealous!Found a smoking deal on a used pullpal missing the spade. I ordered a new spade frome the fine people at PP and all in for less than half the price of a new set up. Now I just need to get my winch mounted up and get stuck in the desert ?
I took a 4x4 driving / recovery training course with Bill Burke we buried a fully loaded E350 to the frame on the steep incline of a sand dune it was amazing how effective the pull pal and some traction boards were.
I wish they has stuff like that up here for rookie off roaders like me. LOLI took a 4x4 driving / recovery training course with Bill Burke we buried a fully loaded E350 to the frame on the steep incline of a sand dune it was amazing how effective the pull pal and some traction boards were.

I think Bill travels a lot to teach. If you can get a group he may come out to you, worth reaching out to see what his minimums are and how far out he travels.
So much fun, it was offroad camp for adults with disposable income! 2 full days in the desert testing the limits getting stuck and learning a ton with a legend. The stories around the campfire were worth the price of admission.
That's pretty damn cool!I took a 4x4 driving / recovery training course with Bill Burke we buried a fully loaded E350 to the frame on the steep incline of a sand dune it was amazing how effective the pull pal and some traction boards were.
