My Slee rear bumper wiring harness was shorting out on a bumper bracket. Slee made everything right and I have not had any further issues. The truckgets lots of hard use in the field too.

I'm really looking forward to this trip!

I use Paracord for all sorts of things. Tieing down the corner of tarps in the wind, securing things to my rack or bumper on expeditions where space is at a premium, and many, many other applications. Be forewardned though, you have to have some knowledge of knots to really get the value from...

I have a place in Broomfield, CO that I spent a couple weeks a month at. You'd have to come to me, but I'm happy to let you have a look. My rig (and Trek Boxx, has lots of 4 wheeling and expedition use. You can't go wrong with @sleeoffroad and theyre closer to you than me. But you will see...

@Romer, I have not seen Paracord listed anywhere. I carry a lot of Paracord and suggest we all carry at least four (4) 25' lengths with the ends burned to prevent unraveling.

Here's an update: I still totally hate this winch and the POS wireless remote. I did Lockhart Basin after Thanksgiving this year and needed to use the winch to pull myself off a rock after I "slipped off" the correct line on the north side of Lockhart Basin near Chicken Corners. Not only was...

I too have wished for a tank of about the 30-ish gallon size for the same reasons @Markuson mentioned.

I have a Slee rear bumper and the 40. Ther'e no issues other than sliding the 40 over rocks now and then. I have not added any additional armor to the tank,

@Romer Your shortness of fuel made the trip more exciting for all of us! For this I thank you!

My rig does not sag when the tanks are full and its loaded. I have heavy springs.

I have a 2016 with the 40 gallon and If I had it to do over I would get the 24. My rig gets used a lot and I frequently slide the sub tank over rocks. The tank is tough and I have not seen any issue, but I think the smaller footprint of the 24 gallon would be better. That stated, I love...

I have used my 2016 200 *a lot* in the field, including the Morrison Jeep Trail and lots of other stuff in Utah and Colorado. MTS works great, right until you would be better served by a lockers or lockers. I would lock my 200, but am thinking I will just add a triple locked expedition style...

I made it, didn't die, and the vehicle did not roll down the hill. My 200 is armored, lifted, skids, Gamiviti roof rack, RTT, TrexBoxx drawers, fridge, recovery gear, etc. Tires are 285/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (destroyed on Morrison). I had to get strapped (H/T @nuclearlemon ) a few times...

How'd it go? How heavy were/are you? I'm at about 8500 loaded.

She did it with me.
