They'd want to bite for that price!
Yeah. Little pricey at $125 a set. But cheepo ones are like $70. They are well worth it. I have tried some other brands and they have way more bite for sure. I'll take any bit I can with my very heavy 80 and 37's.

Yeah I know what you mean, but if your only getting a few months out of them...
I got over a year out of them. About 10-12k miles. Mostly off highway too.
Little less grocery getter with 35"s, no lift, and mega rack.
Selling my 60 and tundra and then will get a 2.5" lift.
I do like the extra meaty look now though.

If you document the recovery anywhere, I know I'd like to see it. Probably others too. Been trying to learn more about safely getting rigs un-stuck
That's pretty good then, worth the extra coin
From China nonetheless.
I bought the whole mirror assembly from the source of all that is good and just in the world - @beno .
It came painted in the original 045 white. As a testament to Beno's service, he checked the mirror when he received it and noticed it was cracked so he got another one before delivering it to me. Some prices might be cheaper elsewhere but his service -- and, more importantly, his guidance on what parts I need to accomplish my projects -- keeps me coming back.
5 days on the trail
Started at King of the Hammers and after 1 day I decided not the event for me.
Spent the next 3 days and ~120 miles of dirt on the Bradshaw Trail and some of its option spurs in California. The main trail is easy with the only concerns of it being in the middle of nowhere, very remote, and some deep sand. The trail skirts several different spectacular mountain range. I saw no other vehicles during my 3 days of travel. Many challenging spurs to explore but I limited myself being solo. I will look forward to more exploring more challenging spur trails with another vehicle support, any takers? Weather was nice with ~75° days and ~50° nights
Also spent some time camping and exploring the banks of the Colorado River. While in the area I checked out and camped in Joshua Tree forest, awesome area. Keeping with my standard travels a good pre check out netted zero issues traveling 1000+ miles over 300 dirt and only needed gas a couple time taking full advantage of a Aux tank.

What is your camera set up?
Understand, I was laughing to myself thinking of the guys elsewhere when I turned on the AC for a minute when the outside temp read 78° yesterday in Quartzsite.<weather link
I have a Cannon 4ti and believe me when I say I dont know what Im doing. Read luck!
I believe the maps call it Red Canyon starting off I-10 just east of the Box Canyon turn off, beautiful. If the same I plan on my next trip to enter on Red canyon on the the Bradshaw and exit the Chuckwalla Well trail joining into the Dupont trail and exit again on I-10, interested? Have you run the Chuckwalla Well trail? I did some of it and called it until I have another vehicle support.
Yes, interested for sure! I probably won't get back to that area until the end of the year though. I have not run the Chuckwalla Well trail, I'd like to know just how "extremely difficult" it is.
I dont think it will be that bad (famous last word LOL) I did a couple miles of Chuckwalla and some very steep loose section one section pictured above. Not a place you want trouble so Im researching the remaining trail on Google earth for piece of mind.
I went this far on Chuckwalla- Google Maps

- Indian Cove
That makes for a surprising grab handle. I wonder where it would end up when this happens?
Why is that bumper purple? Why???
