No, No. That is just a duck load of tongue weight. 750lb max rating on that for the Ranger.

Finally got the fogs wired.

Easy way to get wire inside the truck is to go through the side fender. It's about 5 bolts and you can fit anything in there. Saves you time and stress instead of going through the harness boot or silicone under the truck.

Lucky you didn't bust a spring. Some people shouldn't own trailers.

Whatever floats your boat, but any particular reason why you want fogs wired up high? That is where you want spots. That is going to be throwing a whole lot of light everywhere you don't want it to be.

I installed the smoked Morimoto LED marker lights and the D-Lumina smoked Sequential LED side mirror turn signals. I didn't like the look of the orange on the marker lights and I think these really look much better and blend in with the flares. The LED turn signals are really nice and it really wasn't hard taking the skull cap off. Once you get the top corner loose it pops off easily. Just go slow!.

Gotta see 2 miles down the road to find that mall parking spot. The struggle is real.

It's icon progressive springs it looked worse than it was since springs are soft. Also couldn't do multiple trips do to the person who gifted those retaining wall blocks wanted it out and quick got wm loaded in about an hour. Wasn't even on bump stop just looks bad because it's on 34s and had a drop down hitch.

After tweaking my back a week ago trying to install the Gator cover I bought from a forum member I was able to get my brother to help out with the install. Looks good. Fully functional. A couple fitment tweaks needed tomorrow then good to go. Probably going to sleep in it on my upcoming road trip while I sort out long term camping plan.

They're combo. Poor wording my bad. I've had a lot of close calls in the louisiana woods too. I need a little extra on the sides. Also steez.

Like I said some people shouldn't be allowed to own a trailer. Definitely over 10% tongue.

Rock sliders going in today after fit-up and final weld out/paint yesterday. Can't wait to see the finished product today.

Will be frame/bolt mounted. Due to the box frame, in order to achieve proper torquing, plates are being fabricated to disperse the load. This includes additional plates with welded nuts for the bolts to screw into. Avoids cutting into the frame. This setup will be plenty stout while still allowing me to remove them if needed.

Rock sliders are complete and in. Love how they came out. Here's a couple pictures.

I still think the load was too far forward, looked like from the picture it was stacked right against the front.
