the ST 255.85.16 set mounted on OEM rims above, is replaced with STMax 285.75.16 on SCS F5 on 9/15/16 @ 24392mile. ~13000 mile on the ST

got to a place in line where i was tired of the rolling weight of the 285 ST/Maxx. put the aged ST back on for a while, but later discovered a large crack in one sidewall, so switched the ST on OEM wheels out to a set of five ST/Maxx 235/85/16. the truck handles much better with the 235 tire size. still have the aging set of 285/F5.

Sweet rig!

 

Thankyou!

 

placed today 10/31/15
credit to the wife for helping and determining where to place the jack stands, and then later telling me to use a hammer...

 

swing gate placed. still needs tuned up. got to rivet the drop table into place. "pressed" the dust cup into the bottom of the hinge with a hammer. figured it out. need a spare wheel and a new tire...

 

i met the UPS driver with my hand truck..."85 pounds...what the hell is this?"
june 2020 and this unit is still functioning. it is dualled via blu-seas ml-acr to a
g35 start battery that is on passenger side. intermittent solar trickle charge via
VE mppt 75/15

switched out this odyssey 31M and the northstar 35 for two group 35's from X2power May 30,2023. will have HKB voltage booster in place soon. great to shed ~30lbs on the driver side.

 

mounting the control unit. fine trimming with sawzall. grill fitz.

april 2023 the ComeUp winch controller mount finally snapped after many miles of
gravel/washboard roads. at the time I discovered the controller resting against the radiator fins, I also discovered my original winch mounting into thick aluminum bumper had been done with OEM mount screws, which were slightly too short.
much longer screws found which then required some washer/spacers to be used. the bolts were torqued to unmeasured level.






fixing the controller mounting required rotating the unit such that the extruded aluminum grooves could be used with several machine screws threaded into the existing aluminum fitting and tightened securely. required rerouting wiring. wiring has been sheathed and hopefully adequately protected from abrasion from truck. power wired direct to auxilliary battery, have considered on/off switch. but extra wire/connectors. Both G35 batteries will be used to power winch via ML/ACR.
