Oohhh, it has the somewhat rare V6 engine.

Your ABS doesn’t work? Phew. Crisis averted. The ABS system on these 80’s is terrifying. My experience has been that if the ABS is operational and you attempt to stop or slow down on snow or ice you are in for a dreadful surprise. I disconnected mine and I am pleased with the result, just wish...

It works well for me. I like the hidden look, the light weight, and cost. I think I had about $50 into it. I painted the rear bumper and rock sliders in the factory gray to match and I think that all looks good. There are two disadvantages. It is a little inconvenient to have to open the hood...

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/warn-xd9000i-with-factory-bumper.1128487/ If you used an M8000 or similar it would be much less trouble.

The harbor freight generic mount works well. I made a thread with what I did. If you want, I can dig it up.

Yes, I replaced the lines.

I moved the trans cooler to the passenger side and the horn to the driver’s side to accommodate my Warn 9000i that I mounted similarly. It wasn’t too much trouble to do.

I should have done that, but I didn’t think of it at the time.

With your setup and use I wouldn’t hesitate to put an auto locker in the front. If you are ever in a tight spot and have too much traction to make a turn you can pop it out of 4wd or just turn out one hub.

I ordered something from partsgeek once. They sent me the wrong part. I contacted them to alert them to the error they had made and request the right part and they guy said “didn’t you read the the terms and conditions? We do not accept returns” THEY sent me the wrong part and wouldn’t do...

Haha! I have Duratracs on mine and love them. If you asked me what I like about them I’d mention how quite and smooth they are. That said the Duratracs are the least aggressive tire I have ever owned, so maybe it is just a matter of perspective. :)

Not to hi-jack, but I really need to figure out where to get 917 -- the square plastic insert that goes into the body of the vehicle at the bottom of the flare.

The grounds have been checked thoroughly and are all good. Test were conducted with the trailer connected and disconnected, though I don't rely on the hitch as a ground.

I have brake lights and turn signals on my trailer that work fine, but the tail lights don't. The first thing I did was check for voltage at the plug on the vehicle with a volt meter and everything is good. So, I spent a bunch of time on the trailer. I can't find any problem there. I plugged the...

X2 on the 4x4 labs bumper. I haven’t seen one that is higher and tighter. They also offer tons of options for spare tire mounting and other gear if you want that. If you’ll ever have 35+ tires you’ll need somewhere to put a spare.
