I will toss out that Dirt Sunrise used a lithium for their primary battery. It was a fancy design by a company making lithium starter batterires, but it was a lithium none the less. It worked well enough... I would say it is time to try it. You could EASILY fit a group of 300 Ah lithium...

There was someone on Mud recently who installed a tailgate assist damper on their lower tailgate. I meant to bookmark the thread, but then I forgot to. Does anyone remember seeing this and have a link handy? I cannot seem to find it.

OP, just for clarification, was it ONLY the load range C tires that you were suffering breaks in the sidewall with? To toss my .02 into the conversation, I have 315/75/16 Toyo ATIIIs in load e. I have had a sidewall break already. I have probably about 1000 trail miles on them. I came from...

Nitto and Toyo tires are made in the same factory. As I understand it, they even use the same carcass. The only difference between comparable load rated tires is the tread on the outside of the tire. So in this instance, the sidewall would likely be about the same or exactly the same.

Maltec Europe is the parent group and they are still around. There is the awesome new Expedition 7 Maltec build that is available. E7 200M – Expedition7 - https://expeditions7.com/e7-200m/ Maltec US was only selling the product. The builds were still occurring at Maltec Europe.

I just dealt with this issue! It sounded EXACTLY like a bad CV. The only exception was that the noise sounded like it was coming from the wheel/outer hub vs inside the wheel well when it is a bad CV. I was so relieved that it wasn't a defective new CV I had just installed.

I hate the rhino on my sliders. It will get punctured, but then there isn't an easy way to patch it. This leads to additional rust. When it gets bad enough on my Slee sliders, I will just sand blast it off. I will then look into alternate options. I was thinking of a quality high wear rattle...

I say swap the rods and go for broke!

This is pretty damn clean Jimmy! Nicely done. You actually have an intercooler which is definitely something that I don't. That SC, the intercooler and E85 is gonna be dangerously fun. To anyone considering this, the USD/AUD exchange rate makes this a pretty damn good deal right now. Basically...

How did the tires effect range?

I have seen people just use the blue and white Amazon bubble mailers to put their grill parts in. Lord knows most all of us get enough of them...

This was exactly what I was wondering. Thanks for detail. I have often wondered if there are easy to gain HP with my SC. I will look into the intake. I show a peak of about 4.5 PSI on my SC at about 5000 ft in elevation.

Wow those are some really impressive numbers. I thought the stock SC was only good for about 120hp more. Do you think it is more the headers or tuning that got you the extra power?
