    I don't carry a floor jack with me on the trail. Its not easy putting 3/16 on solo without a jack. Try it sometime.

    Bummer, looked pretty solid. I wish I had room to add some gussets like that.

    I’ve wanted to add a floor jack to my rig for the harder wheeling trips. This is one of the reasons

    Not worth the weight and space for me. Other than skids I can't think of a reason you'd need to jack from underneath. A hi lift should accomplish most things. Don't need much of a flat surface area to use it as well.

    Hit more gym less tan and laundry:eek:

    I dont have a problem but then again im in my 30s and dont enjoy doing it with brute strength. Mine are on all 365 i dont see the point in taking them off.

    Instead of a floor jack 2 ratchet straps would be a better solution.

    I've never struggled too much with my overly heavy skid on the trail. Just bench the front lip up. Get a bolt started then use my leg to prop the rest up. Easy money.


    Yeah was hoping for something good from them. Not enough people signed up

    Mine has to come off for oil changes, might relocate the filter at some point to avoid this.

    Sounds about what I do. My front bolts are a pita to thread the nut on. Poor design on my part.

    Arb and trail gear and renlentless. You do have a bit of an issue as you're frame horns are longer so a lot of bumpers to fit you have to modify them.

    Every part on the kings is replaceable

    I saw some Kings on Summits discount rack at our store but couldn't look to see what they were for. Too many bros crowding the box. My guess would have been a domestic truck.

    ...The wet and cold continued all night - or rather, the wet continued and the cold got colder! We awoke, just after 8:00am to a dusting of snow spread across camp and our trucks, and several inches on the surrounding mountains.

    "Welcome to Montana guys!" Monte said as he climbed out of his tent...

    Addicted Offroad doesn't require anything for our years. But as long as it's a first gen bumper you just need to cut 2-3" off and weld a plate on the end that you can get from Relentless if needed
