They look very similar to the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ2's and I think I've read they're the same company. Report back. I'm considering a set of these or the MTs for my rig.

Hey Dan, I've been off here a while and thinking about inboard air for my truck lately, but couldn't for the life of me remember who was making the brackets. Then I rediscovered this thread. Yahoo! Are you still selling them? If so, how do I get hold of one?

I have the same tires on mine but in 295/70/18. I only have about 4k miles on them but so far I really like them. The road noise is minimal and I haven't had any flat spot issues (daily driver though). I would recommend them in a heartbeat and in my size, they are an exact fit. No rubbing at all but they are as close as can be.

Not much new on the spressoWAGON...except working on my Trail Tailor aka @reevesci trailer. I repurposed a Briggs & Stratton pleated air filter bracket to allow the interior of the trailer to "breathe"/pressure equalize. I think passive venting the trailer boxes will help keep dust to a minimum. Worst case: I add another B&S air filter and bracket along with a 12v computer fan to keep positive pressure...
And I also added a LiFePO4 200A battery, fabbed a battery hold down clamp system (its been almost 18-months since I have used my GTAW HTC welder...sure was nice to be welding again even for short runs
), Xantrex 2000 Pro-Sine inverter, light switches, Blue Sea fuse panel, Blue Sea 7622 charge isolator (in route) etc. to the nose box.
Plan to add a Propex heater in a month or two...that will keep the 10'x10' Kodiak and/or awning enclosure (also a future add-on) toasty

When did you get another trailer? Kodiak 10x10, the ground tent?

^ Adam, 2-years ago I joined a good buddy and his wife on a Nevada mule deer & elk tag hunt where we would be base camped at 8,000'+. We were to use my 100 as the hunting/scouting rig so I bought the Kodiak to originally store all my gear while out scouting/hunting. But after a couple nights in the Columbus I moved into the Kodiak...its a very nice and comfortable tent.
We're packing up right now getting ready to head out to NE Nevada...loaded TTT in tow (with the Kodiak). Finally going to get my little fly fishing dealio underway!
Some day I'll order another Kimberley (I'd rather have the TVAN but they don't export...); but for now the TTT gets the job done.

Just tested the new trailer battery to inverter to Ponte Vecchio Export and it works great! If you look close you can see steam pouring out of the steam wand 
. Further testing with espresso to commence in a couple days
I'll need a little more solar input than my 60w Powerfilm can provide to replace the current when not connected to the 100...but it works!

How is the trailer doing?
So far so good. Performed very well in Death Valley; rocks, washboard, etc. Had them in the rain and no issues. The one little complaint, and I've not found the perfect tire yet
But I really like the extra width, floatation and sidewall to wheel distance.
Any issues with rubbing at all?

^ Just a tad at the rear wheel well plastic inner fender wall at full steering lock mostly because I'm running ~3.75º of caster. Maybe someday someone will offer a matching front UCA and LCA that pushed the LCA a little more forward.
Dude, just finished this awesome build again. Bringing it up to the top for the newbs to read, learn and enjoy an awesome 100 series. Thanks for the great posts. Awesome stuff.
Feeling under the weather, so my arse is planted on the couch. Got to look over your build and I must say I really love your talent. Love to see your gears spinning in your head to come up with your projects. Keep up the great work !!!!
Where can I order some recovery brackets?

Just putting this in here as I've had a few ask where/how I mounted the front shock reservoir cans. 1"x1" steel angle, tack welded to the front side of the upper control arm mount.
@spressomon Have you posted the story on those UCA here? I don't remember seeing those before.
