What was wrong with your transfer case?

The shift cables were not placed correctly.

The shift cables were not initially placed correctly.

Cool, at least it was nothing major.

I really liked you old rig but this one.....wow. Very Nice !!
How far do your rear tires stick out past the edge of the flare? Do you have any shots from the rear? Would you say that Half of the tire sticks out past the edge of the flare when looking from behind or maybe a little less than half?
Thanks!

Wow, your rig looks great!

also, is that the rigid led light/windshield bar with the rigid mount?
Thanks!

It's right at 1/2 of the tire sticking out.

Yes it's the Rigid light and light bar.

It makes me feel a lot more relaxed knowing that your tire sticks out that far. We're building mine now and I was really afraid that mine was sticking out too far. Mine is also half way out past the flare. Your rig looks amazing! Thanks for the info. Your rigs have been my inspiration

This is awesome !! I really like how you went about building this up .... I'm currently waiting on my anvil jkur to be delivered and parting with my 2012 red sport :/

Small upgrade today. I changed out the Warn Fairlead and hook for the Factor 55 1.5" Fairlead and Factor 55 Flatlink.

 

[jkur77]

Good choice.

I'm changing over from a compressor to CO2 activated lockers. This little guy reportedly can activate the lockers several hundred times.

What do you do if you run out of CO2 on the trail?

It comes with two bottles so you can switch out easily enough and with a filler kit you can refill the bottles very quickly and easily if you use CO2 to air up your tires when you're done wheeling.

Front and rear locker pneumatic switches.

Looks good, I like stealthy switches. Aren't you worried about bumping them on accident though?

Because of where they are in relation to the seats and the gear shift I think this will work out well. Time will tell though.....
