    No, I was changing the tire and just threw the pry bar in there to see if I could move it.

    Thanks, I tucked it up just about as far as possible, and should hold up much better.

    Sounds about right. I would recommend 1/4" to everyone that is going to play hard in the rocks, 3/16" just doesn't hold up.

    Yeah, if you are going to be in the rocks at all, aluminum is no good.

    Yeah, 4.88s, wanted to get the locker ordered before the end of the month to get the compressor upgraded. Hoping to get everything to Brian before we leave.

    295's currently, just replaced the front 2, so I have 4 that are basically new, ~33.5" Hankook RT03s. Been very happy with them, been running this tire for 3 years so far.

    Going to go to a 315 in the next year or so, so will be overgeared until then, but will be a welcome change from current situation with stock 3.91s

    Got the new compressor and locker in yesterday and installed the compressor and solenoid. The ARB harness made it a breeze, all ready for the locker install, would just need to run the air line from the solenoid to the diff. The CKSA will be up for sale as soon as I clean it up.

    I also received a bunch of wiring parts the past few weeks and ran 12 ga wrapped in braided tech flex and split loom to the back of the truck for a new light and back up camera, as well as any future lighting additions, may add a small fuse box in the back hatch at some point. Working on a revamp of the swingout with lighting, a table and some finishing touches, hopefully to be complete prior to UT exploration trip next weekend.

    Yeah, I thought about going bigger, but had a bunch of 12 ga lying around, and currently don't really see adding much else for big draws back there. I have a separate realyed and fused circuit already ran from when I had my compressor in the rear that I can use if needed.

    It is, but the smaller one, really just for locker purposes. I replaced it with the bigger single.

    Yup, not the one you want for that, which is why I swapped it out for the CKMA. I got it for $100 off with the locker purchase as part of the yearly ARB deal, and got the CKSA for free from the same deal 2 years ago. I have CO2, which is awesome fast, but if I have to wait on others with a compressor, might as well use the compressor. Plus, CO2 does run out, and using the CKSA was soooooooo slow to air up, but it did work for that infrequent situation.

    You'll do great in Moab, I have run most of the trail out there open including some of the harder ones like Cliffhanger, Moab Rim and Steel Bender

    Thanks man!
