I was barely able to hold it together until this put me over the edge. Dang nice set-up. And thanks for the tip on the NL touch lights!
snag some tomorrowGreat build Jason, thanks for sharing!
Any photos of the turtleback all set up in camp mode?
When you're towing the Turtleback, do you ever put it into cruise control on long stretches of highway? I found that in doing so, the truck would shift down 1 or 2 more gears than I would normally keep it at by just driving it myself...The 200 tows the Turtleback like a champ. If you’re doing lockers please consider doing 4.88 gears. The guys at Nitro claim a good amount of MPG’s will return and you’ll experience less gear changes. Their 200 is also supercharged though so I’m not sure which mod helps more. I just got back from Ouray CO myself, ran Ophir twice.

Yeah, pretty much my truck takes me away from my wife...lmao.
Really nice build! QQ, what size KO3's are you running? I'm still on the fence with the KO's due to the smaller size they tend to run. Looking for a real 34" and am considering the KM3 285/75/17 but indications are they are barely 33's.
Have you looked at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers? They recently came out with a 285/70/18, which I've been begging for for years. I just put some on last Spring, and I think they're the perfect size.
Your truck be “Jolene”??
Well aw raat then...
Gorgeous build!
We are also thinking of adding a Supercharger to our 200. Do you see the Supercharger as an advantage off-road? Most of the driving we do is slow around town or off-road. We are concerned about the long term impact of the Supercharger on the motor. What are your general thoughts on the Supercharger?
Thank you.
Oh Ok, I did not read through the thread carefully enough. Thanks for the advice, I agree with you.I think the reference was to a 200-series owned by the Nitro Gear company, not the OP or other posters. My 2 cents: the 200 has 381hp and 400lb-ft of torque. IMHO, the last think it needs is more power! Certainly not for driving around town and off-roading. *Maybe* if you are frequently towing 8500lb in the mountains of Colorado or Utah. But if then again, the LC may not the best choice for that type of duty (i.e., F-350).
