Sweet cruiser, props for fabricating/doing a lot of parts yourself. How are those duratracs treating you? Mileage/even wear?

Thanks! Honestly, If I could do it again I would probably stick with BFG KO2's... The fact that I blew a side wall, so badly, on such a small impact yesterday was pretty disappointing. I was aired down to 20 psi.

Milage was comparable to the BFG's (Honesty I try not to calculate milage, no point, it gets bad milage haha). and the wear has been pretty even. I am just coming up on my first rotation at around 10k miles.

I hear ya. I'm contemplating some M/T's and have heard mixed things on the duratracs. Most interested in the longevity.

Got my switch from cruiserhead and the thing works great. Pulled power to illuminate the switch by tapping the green wire in the vent switch right above it.

I'm selling these wheels and tires, put on some BFG AT KO2's on some factory 16's

Howdy from down the road in Tempe. Somehow ended up on your build thread for the first time while searching about DIY roof rack (I think I'm going to cobble something together with 80/20). Anyways, here was my not-so-cheap-but-extraordinarily-effective-and-functional solution to the rear swingout + bike rack conundrum: iSi Modular Extreme Duty Bike Carrier iSi Modular Bicycle Carrier - Extreme Duty 4x4x2 Bicycle Carrier

Obviously these photos are with the bike rack on one of my 4runners, not my UZJ100, but the fit is similar. Also note that I have a full-length swingout, so your two half-length swingouts will open without issue with the bikes still on the rack, and that's a 285/75/16 spare with 35L Yeti on the swingout. The iSi bike rack is pricey, plus it has to be shipped from the land down under, but it's been worth every penny. Ran Engineer, Ophir, Cinnamon, Imogene, etc. with it on there and had no issues...

Perhaps one of these days I'll come back over and pilfer through your leftover 100 series parts lying around after you replace them with new awesomeness

A shot of whiskey and you’re good to go

Damn, what trail is that?

That's the backway to crown king, north of Phx, AZ.

Here are some more pics, it's a good one (albeit kind of long when you are trying all the bonus lines and have a big group).

We need to figure out some rear LCA protection before we do that one again!

Meh, just buy one of these cheap bois ($59) and carry as a spare (More Information for MEVOTECH CMS861167). Easy to change out on the trail.

I'm more referring to the mounting point. It seems to be a limiting factor in the break over angle.

Awesome pics man!

did you drag yours?Just slap a doubler or two on it and put a little slider/gusset from frame to front face. spressomon has some posts about it

I didn't but I watched you hit yours

 

[MooseMichaels]

Can you post some more photos with the ironman bumper? I'm considering one myself; my 100 is a similar build to yours.

i don't have a ton of photos, but here's what i've got:

I need to pull the factory tie down point off, i know, don't tell me
