    I just did mine last year after frying the motor on a winch pull. Replaced the motor then cracked open the gears to check the grease and found a bunch of mud and water in the gear box. Also found two gears seized. Tried soaking everything to free it up with no success. Contacted Engo bout the seized gears and they sent me a new gear box no charge. You should check sooner rather than later..

    What's the point of being overbuilt with all those fancy mods to not use them @fatfurious2 :boink:

    Real talk, wheel it, enjoy it, and cross it off your list like a badge of honor. I'd kill for a free legal offroad trail of that caliber in my state.

    It's one I wish I did a few more times before moving. I'll be back one day to run it again.

    Johnny said that it sounds like i got shit in my starter. And aparently 13.4-13.7 is an okay start up voltage on a warm humid day like this. Days where i was seeing 14.1 were way cooler.

    Nice!!


    I might have to remove one of my boxes and somehow fit all my crap 'somewhere', to make space for a skinny panel. My awesome idea to mount traction boards on top of Planos seems create too much shade in the middle...

    Ohh i was thinking about doing that. But I still like the boards on the side of the bed rack. Im going to repurpose my old sway bar mount brackets to use as a mount for the boards
