Practically speaking - I’ve been running the Westcott kit on my Trailhunter for quite awhile now with 35/11.5/17 R/T Pro E Load and I’m off-road somewhere every chance I get. Yes, it can limit down travel, but it’s not something I’ve specifically noticed and I’ve come off some decent...

Like it a lot! Which OME spring did you use in the rear?

Took a trip up to Fayetteville, AR to try some trails in the Ozarks. Alexander Mountain today…lots of clearing and finally stopped by a big ol’ Oak. Would of had trouble clearing that with a 20” Bar on the saw. Fun while it lasted though…nice off camber headed down and some decent steps.

Hmmm…not tryin’ to upset anyone. How’s this - although the contact patch is pretty much equal in area/size, it is different in orientation/ shape with the narrower tire producing a longer/more longitudinal contact patch - which happens to correspond with your desired direction of travel. Well...

Hmmm..not sure I agree that there is no difference in contact patch between wide vs narrow. Aired down the narrow tire will produce a longer contact patch which is desirable in rocky conditions -think of a tank tread. Check out @TinkerersAdventure for a good demonstration. I think a lot of...

You’re getting there - looks great! What are you doing for the camera relocation?

I run 35/11.5/17 Toyo R/T Pro (34.8x11.4 actual) + 25 offset rim on my Trailhunter OME with Westcott Preload Collar Kit (+2.5”). The only time I have had any sort of rubbing at all is at mid-lock (tire closest to the front fender) and suspension completely compressed coming off ledge - and that...

Did you set it up as “basket” or “platform” ? I reconfigured mine to “basket” and picked up a vibration. Wondering if it’s because the inserts aren’t fully loaded and they’re resonating.

😂

Went up to Merus last weekend. It’s outside of Amarillo on/in Palo Duro Canyon. It’s a haul up there but they have great trails, guides, courses, events, etc. Did a guided Blue Trail Course and it was awesome - $65 (course + park fee + 4x4 permit -guide tip extra).The guides were Jeff & Shelly...

Ok - that’s good to hear!

Nice! Did you need the correction or were you just being prudent? Also, how is the MT64 working out for you? I ask because as I add weight to the TH OME setup (which I love BTW) I’m starting to pick up a bit of sag and I find myself hitting the rear bump stops a lot in rough terrain. Looking at...

lol…why not? We could get a great trail report about the TH on the Rubicon first hand!

I had a shop do it- big mistake. They installed the front brackets incorrectly and in the wrong configuration. I ended up having to tear it down and redo it. Was trying to save time but ended up losing time and money on the deal. Lesson learned. You can definitely do it yourself. There are...

Ouch! My left rear lower bumper trim looks like that. I’m just going to hit it with some touch-up. Rock sliders have some scrapes so same thing. I figure that’s why I got the TH - so I could use it off road. The Rubicons I was out with were kinda ‘ surprised how well it did - they thought they...

Spent the weekend at Merus. Great trails and some interesting technical spots.

Hey - real curious how this works out for you in terms of the camera relocation and added weight. I’m right at this point on the TH. Retaining the rear camera capabilities is priority one and as you know options are limited at this time. I think Expedition One has the best setup out there, but a...

And I’ll just add that “assessing the contact patch” is absolutely the right call. Do a chalk test, super easy and it’ll tell you exactly how your tire is riding on the ground. You can do one for your everyday configuration and one for your fully loaded headed to the hills configuration - it...

Trailhunter w/ ADD Stealth Bumper + Warn EVO 12S Winch = +150 lbs front, Full Rack+ Ladder + Recovery Gear + spare = 200 lbs rear. Toyo R/T Pro 35/11.5/17, 33 Psi (cold) street, 12-20 Psi off road terrain dependent.

Love it! Switched to the R/T Pro a few months ago and have been impressed, especially off road.
