Taking the steps off is probably the right move. And yeah I just barely managed to get our permits despite being on the website the minute they opened up. Your campsites are spaced out nicely so I think you’ll have a better time of it than we did.

Honestly unless it’s something you’re planning on doing anyways, I’d just keep it as is and save your money. Meaning, if the only reason you’re looking to upgrade your skids and swap the steps for sliders is this trail, I would pass. I’ve rubbed my skids and sliders before in this vehicle, but...

Well it’s a vehicle that already gets around 11mpg on the road with the tires that he’s put on it (33” E load) doing lots of slow speed crawling in low gear while loaded up with food, water, additional fuel, and supplies for two people.

I asked him about it and apparently he did do an electrical modification he found on ih8mud to allow it to operate in low range without the center diff locked. I did not realize the 100 series forced the center diff locked in low range by default. That’s my bad.

I just completed the White Rim Road in my stock Trailhunter with 15k miles on the dash. White Rim is a 100 mile off-road trail through Canyonlands National Park rated as a 5/10 on OnX. It features steep inclines and descents, tight switchbacks, fast sandy sections, and enough bumpy, rocky...

I just finished White Rim Road with these where they got dragged many different times and they are holding up wonderfully, I’m happy to report.

The fan only kicks on when draw is high. 500W is fine, 1000+ and it starts blowing fairly loud. I have been using a similar setup as OP and it works well with no inverter fan noise.

I've been using those for a couple months now and they've been great.

Did you fit a spare?

Yep, I've wondered if it would be possible to cut my own hole "around the corner" there facing back, and it would definitely be a lot more easily accessible if I did, or by mounting it facing vertically in that little cargo tray directly above the factory location. Is it possible to remove the...

I'm waiting and hoping someone else will be the guinea pig on alternate locations to install the faceplate unit for these. The factory location is the perfect spot to get blocked by cargo. And if you have a drawer system like I do it's almost completely inaccessible. ADGU didn't come out with...

I have never seen the logic of getting a body on frame, solid rear axle vehicle as a dedicated family hauler. If you're not towing or taking it off road, why not get something with more interior space and better ride quality?

It may go away or it may not. Mine still does it at 10,500 miles. One single slightly-hard shift between first and second and then it won't do it again until the next morning. I also have the clunky shifting feeling mentioned a couple of times in this thread while semi-hard braking. Not...

I believe the reason is the wider fender flares on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter models.

How do the Kings ride on and off road compared to the stock TH OME suspension?
