There's a mod for that: Speedway Ford Model-T leaf liners order 2 rolls.

It adds about 0.4" to the leaf pack thickness (1/16" x number of leafs), so you will need replacement center pins. Do this with the Archive Garage U-bolt flip

 

I think Archive will go with RXT packs as I only hear good things about it.

 

#1. Agree

#2 , errr, hmmm, well maybe it could be viewed as might/could/did do rock climbing, errr not overlander. Yeah Yeah(that's my story and I'm stickin' to it, looking over shoulder)

To be an Overlander you need two or more of the following criteria...
A) Prominently mounted virgin traction boards.
B) Prominently displayed Rotopax anything...
C) Prominently displayed gas can
D) RTT always on (This is +10 overlander points on it's own)
E) Enough lightbars to turn a football stadium into a sunbathing zone.
F) Fake winch cable strapped to your front bumper.
G) Asking if your Pre-Runner is Ok for trails.

Real bumpers that don't explode from hitting and Angry Pigeon...

They just say...



#3 The ARB does also say, "Get out of my way or this is gonna hurt you, more than it does me"

In my case I got the Warn front bumper-"ette" because I was too chicken to cut my front bumper. But it so far has done it's job.

+1 for getting things from @pete37

 

@Snail81

Like the youngster said, winch mount.

 

I'd probably add ;

H) A plethora of electronics mounted in the cab. Tablets, phone, gps, coms etc.

 

A handful of us watch 4WD Action, I envy those guys. but they have a lot of fun trips that i'd love to do someday.

 

You forgot the snorkel and Taliban-grade beard!

 

Yes for sure to both! They definitely need to be on the list. And another good sign you're an overlander is having your own YouTube channel.

consistent.

oh dear...

 

So who thinks your taco with a winch can move a 20' shipping container?


Asking for a friend...

 

Empty 20’ is at most 4800 lbs. Easy to move, you got all the straps and snatch blocks

 

100% on point.

Having a winch is the mean reason. Everyone will tell you it's best to install a proper steel bumper before installing the winch.
In my case I wil go with a hidden winch on stock plastic bumper, until that craps out, for cost and weight reasons . next, it will be a rear bumper or rocksliders.

 

About an hour away. I’ll check a local shop first.

 

Nope.

Even with the truck on recovery boards so it 'stopped sliding'. The container would not budge 1 inch.

The truck is just to light to move a 20' container where it was in my yard.

The recovery boards didnt move, truck slid on the boards.

 

Went for a drive by Kettleby.
Stopped for a medium double double and as I pulled up to pay, the girl gave me the coffee and said the lady in the suv in front of me paid for my drink. I asked her why and she said, some people do that sometimes. Was it me, the truck, or just a random act, who knows but I fucking love the country.
