    So I finally made the jump to synthetic! 3/8" @ 100ft. Should be able to reach those more distant recovery points!
    Trying to save some weight on the front end, but it also looks super clean now! Anyone want the 3/8" steel that I pulled off?

    Also moved up my diff breather and tossed whatever was there before in the trash. Used my extra ARB filter I had floating around but did not use on my OBA install.
    Ready to ford some rivers! :rain:

    That's a fancy hood scoop, usually mounts to the hood with some drywall screws...

    Ejector seat eh? Time to start up my old rocket hobby again. You can make anything fly with enough thrust!

    Could be a hood scoop, I mean just looking at the thing its obviously going to add 10 to 20HP. All options are on the table.

    So my old Sunforce 60 watt solar was a fun experiment but way too heavy and did not put out enough wattage to fully power the ARB fridge.

    Ordered 200 watts of solar panels. Will never have to worry about the fridge draining my batteries again! Love how technology evolves, can get more than triple the power output in the same space.
    Quick fit check on the panels, and they're a perfect fit!

    You probably know more about it than me since you've already done it, but did you use the weight of the truck when you spooled the synthetic line? I'm looking to replace my steel cable as well, and I read about the importance of having good tension on the line. Love some of those spots you went to, glad you're getting to use the truck for what it's meant for again! Look forward to seeing more trip and mod pics for ideas & inspiration :thumbsup:

    Spooled it by hand, always used the weight of the vehicle with my steel cable. I've always heard synthetic was less prone to kinking. May re-spool it in the future. Just want ted to make sure I could fit the full 100ft of synthetic on the spool. I wanted the extra length even though it will cut the pulling power.
