    so, i've been toying with the idea of losing the sway bar when i add my RCI steel skids + gas skid. With all the weight down low including sliders, does that increase the stability with the sway bar off?

    Yes, but don't expect it to be a sway bar replacement. You're still going to lean in turns.

    I am on my second gb40. The first one I jumped a Camry twice and it worked great then the third time I used it on a car with a completely dead battery hadn’t been started for over a year. I had to use the override and was actually able to start the car but it took out the jumper. I took it back to auto zone not really expecting a warranty but thought I would give it a try anyway. I told them what happened and they exchanged it for me which I thought was pretty cool. Haven’t had to use the new unit yet but I wouldn’t recommend using that override feature unless it’s an emergency.

    If you are interested in the little camper there’s a link to the build in my signature. Not fancy kinda like a hard sided tent on wheels. It’s all we need though

    The tabs on the bottom are the same tabs you see in this pic, just cut and folded back, that way if you want to drill holes in those and mount your fender liners to them you can.

    Got my front diff back from ECGS. Sent it off to have an ARB locker added. Got it mounted up and all the hoses plumbed. All that’s left is fill it with gear oil and mount my skid and I’m ready to party this weekend.

    I opted for a pneumatic switch from powertank to run my locker direct from my powertank. Cheaper, easier, and no electronics to fail.

    Ya, wheel chair, crane, handicap placard etc. Even the cop finally realized the owner, who was in the passenger seat had no legs. :(

    Installed an always on USB charger in the center console to keep my Android for Ham radio APRS charged. It stays in the truck. It’s powered from my aux fuse box and aux battery so it could run for months.
