    Didn't have to re-calibrate with my 4WP bumper either. Yup, turn those bolts before the threads get dinged up. As for the holes for the lights, here's a temp solution: https://www.amazon.com/square-plastic-plugs/s?k=square+plastic+plugs

    There are a couple of mfgs that make a bumper that works with BSM. I haven't had one problem with mine in the 7 months I've had mine.

    Yea both sets of sensors are working fine. I’ve read people don’t have issues swapping either of them over, but I generally have really bad luck with things that should be easy.
    I’ve been watching the BSM bumper market for a year or two. There’s a couple other brands as well, this one is just the absolute cheapest. $600 on sale.
    Apogee offroad 2.3k
    Buckstop truckware 1.7k
    Chassis unlimited 1.55k
    4wp is discontinued

    That was my plan as well, but the openings are the perfect size to make plugs difficult to source. 3.18 X 3.31”. 90mm plugs look like they will work but aren’t a common size. I’ve got plenty of plastic and kydex scraps leftover from other projects so I’ll figure something out

    What are you trying to do? Put your solar input and truck input into the EcoFlow power station at the same time? I don't even use a converter on mine. Two solar panels in parallel plugged directly into my EcoFlow. I didn't even bother touching the truck. Works just fine.

    Yes, both my wife and I had quite a difficult time. She has always been very loving toward our two sons, and our oldest passed away at the age of 38, on Saint Patrick's Day (my father's birthday). We are getting used to the idea that he's not longer with us, but my wife has been the one who has suffered the most. I had no choice but to handle the funeral service, and all the paperwork, including tax records, personal property, and so on. She could not handle any of that. She breaks down if she sees photos of our son, so I have to take care of editing photos and sending them to family members, and our son's friends. It breaks my heart, of course, but I have no other choice but to be strong for both my wife and my son's siblings.

    One new tire this morning and one more night at the VRBO. $360ish. The dog doesn't seem inconvenienced with any of it. All thanks to United Assh*le services who claim zero responsibility and refuse to reimburse me. We'll see about that, *cough small claims court *cough. :luvya:

    I'm surprised that nail made it through. I'm shelling out the same tomorrow, for the same tread, they aint cheap. Hoping you recover that from them.

    Big Brand said it was too close to the edge for a patch. Plus hot AZ summers are really hard on tires and I'm doing a cross country move soon.

    I seem to recall you said you were leaving our pleasant little furnace in AZ. Cannot recall if we local-yokels inspired the move or if you had rational reasons.

    It's been in the works for a couple of years. My house doubled in value and my hoa/neighbors were awful. Lakefront property is next. Looking at NC.

    I have a red-cover Atlas-Gazeteer from NC, showing smaller county and local and unpaved roads, if you want to take a gander. PM when/where to meet if interested.
