    One of my favourite upgrades. 3” gear stick extension for my work truck, and a House Of Speed knob - makes it so much nicer to shift. IMG_8733.jpg

    I like your mounting of the resis. Do they clear the skid plate well? Any tire rubbing on the hoses?

    The aluminum bar I used is very rigid, about 1/4” of play if you’re really giving it a go- skid, bottom of radiator, crossmember/mount, everything clears by about 3/8”.

    The tire rubbed on the hose a bit until I put that big zip tie on. Hoping with the Solo arms pushing the wheel forward an inch I can take some stress off the hose and re-zip tie it with a bit less tension.

    Hard to tell if solar is performing like I hoped yet, the AGM in there is like 6 years old now and the fridge is having voltage issues of it's own.
