    Nope, airbag luckily didn't go off. I was only going maybe 15 mph and hit the right rear corner of their car with the front left corner of mine. It almost kind of pinwheeled the bumper into my front tire. The fact that the bumper wasn't tied into the frame might have prevented frame damage.

    Anyone have spare stock wheels and tires I can borrow to test drive my truck? I'm trying to pinpoint the bounce in my truck to inbalance tires or something else.

    Does it have to be stock? I have 275's on 17' wheels you can use.

    Sounds about the same as the Merc G500 4X4.2 thing that the US will not receive -> 18' of ground clearance. I will look for the link.

    Random idea, has anyone considered having bumpers hot dip galvanized? I don't know if you can paint over it... but if you can, I'd imagine that's the ultimate idea for rust prevention. I'm also unsure if the cost is simply prohibitive, too.

    damn, if only this message had come up earlier. i just peeled a set of tires off replacing them. A bouncy truck can be frustrating. Have you tried taking them to a Discount tire or some tire shop to see if they're out of balance? maybe you lost a weight?

    I took it to 4wheelparts, they said they will look at everything. But I'm going to hold out until I change my UCA so I can get the alignment job done as well.

    Big shout out to Ben for helping me wire my heated side view mirrors. Technically he actually did all the work because the movers showed up at the exact same time to pick up my stuff for Turkey.

    Looking for input...... I know there are multiple threads on this but I wanted some local thoughts/opinions. Wanted to try and set up a MOD day or take part in the next one and meet some local wheelers!!
    But to the POINT, I am looking at onboard air options and I know a couple jeepers that have the under hood ARB for there lockers but that little guy takes them 5 minutes to fill on tire.... the tires are 33" - 37" on a couple rides. I have seen a couple VIAIR options on e-bay but I am not sure where I would mount an air tank on my truck.... any personal experiences?

    If I had to purchase a replacement, it would be a dual.
    I have single underhood for the locker and for tires.
    Super slow = 5-10 minutes a tire.

    Here are a couple of options I was looking at..... anybody know the importance of duty cycles/ psi max.... any other important things to know?
    Trying to stay around $200-$300 to be cost effective in my eyes....... the truck is starting to become an expensive toy, for a little while its going to be a bunch of little projects/slow build until I can get rid of some other hobbies and money pits...

    **Doing the electrical shit is what I'm really going to need help with, running wiring through the truck, switches, possibly needing a relay/fuse block**

    I am doing research about this all, just figured I would ask. Thanks for any input!!!
