Took the axle nut off but idk if I didn't back it out far enough or what cause it still came out. Other thing was the rear passenger top bolt is pretty stupid. The captured nut broke off and we couldn't get anything on there to remove the bolt. Ended up sawzalling it in half then using an air chisel to remove the pieces capturing the nut to be able to use a normal one
Mine was the top rear driver and it only gave me issues when I tried to tighten it back on. Wedged a screwdriver in there to get enough torque on it.

I am game to gather and go out and see the sights
If you're talking about getting a group run together I'm just not too sure where we can go at this moment due to snow be in many places. Even I'm thinking of going up into the mountains this weekend I just don't know where.

i was wondering if there was an established group, if not perhaps one could be

I think its more of "Hey who wants to go out to this place this coming weekend?" Kind of deal here.

Any of you guys been to Rainbow Falls Riding Area? I just went the other day, and had a blast. Wanting to go again soon.
Oh, and I am a total novice on a stock 2019 Lariat FX4 with a 2” level spacer. I lightly contacted my skid plate in 1 spot, my tow hitch in one spot, and my nerf bars in one spot, but there were easier “lines” to take in all of those situations. I highly recommend, and I am down to go riding there anytime

I went down there with my stock FX4 but ended up turning around since I was solo and there were a TON of dirt bikes and ATVs when I went.

I've been riding my bike out there recently. Was pretty clear of snow in most areas. Snagged this out there last week.

When I was there the other day it was mid week mid day. One other long wrangler there that showed me the rock climb shortcut at the end. I was going to turn around and take the long way back but they assured me I’d make it over. It was hairy but I made it following them over without issue. I took some pretty narrow lines throughout the trek, and I can’t imagine anything larger navigating those trails

I traveled with a Jeep crew last season that has a bunch of wheeling experience in CO. They were surprisingly tolerant and patient with me and the Ranger. Now that I'm lifted with large tires on the way I'm sure I'll fair much better this year.

I might consider of it even then I'm not too sure yet. I don't like the idea on how they take away the rear tie down points when installed
Gotcha.

I can still run them when the topper is up, so I'm on the fence as well. If they sell, they sell. If not they can stick around.
