I have the Artec sliders, I think I recieved one of the first sets, they are very heavy duty and tie into the frame and body mounts in a way that should hold up to heavy abuse. I've already pounded on them pretty hard and have not seen any deflection into the body. The only downside is that...
I can't speak to the Next Venture product, I have the Artec Aluminum skid and it is one of the best designed items I have added to my Jeep. In my opinion Artec is one of the best in the business when it comes to design and fitment.
I bought mine from Outback Adventures website back in August and it shipped really quick. This is a really nice piece and for me was worth the price. Nicely made
I haven't been over Lippincott, but as an alternative or loop Hunter MT is a very nice and scenic route. If you do go, please post back up, I am interested in the road condition too, I would like to do it next time I'm in DV.
Mike, great info, thank you for taking the time to find this in the Gladiator manual and sharing it. Very helpful and it confirms it works for my needs (will stay on in 4lo)!
for those of you using a Flashcal, which is what I have, Joe at ZAUTO said in post #35 that the Flashcal does not have the same functionality as the Tazer and the camera will turn off if the Jeep is in motion. Can any Flashcal users confirm if this is your experience? I want to install a front...
Thought I would share Maximus tire carrier add on. I made an umbrella rack for a quick shade set up on the trail. It's supper quick and easy to put up and take down which we use for lunch stops or breaks. I tack welded on an exhaust flange on the umbrella pole to keep it from hitting the...
Mine needed shims, I talked to Maximus III multiple times during my install and tried all other adjustments first. The issue with my jeep, yours might be different, is I was experiencing flex in the tub with a 37" tire and there was not enough adjustment built into the the tialgate plate and...
What is your issue with Tailgate alignment? I had an issue too, not sure if our issues are the same, but my tailgate would drop when i opened my tailgate. I made a shim for the bottom tailgate mount at the tub and it fixed everything. I think they should include 1 or 2 shims with the kit.
I finished my install and wanted to post some pictures of the TC. I am very happy with the TC design and quality, nice job Maximus-3! Here are a couple of pics of the TC completed, I haven't decided where I'm going to mount my license plate, for now it is zip tied to the bottom of the tire...
I finished the isntall and the back up camera view is great, with my tire rim combo I have a good picture from the back up camera (as good as stock). The back up camera does not need to be removed to remove the tire. Very nice design.
Guys looking for some technical help on my install, it's after hours and hoping someone knows how to fix tailgate alignment. I installed everything (except the rienforecment plate, which shouldn't make a difference) and the tailgate was perfectly lined up until I put the spare on. After I...
I mounted mine under the hood with a DV8 mount, here is a link to my install thread.
