Nothing useful....

Looks like you may have already settled on the solution being a spare relocation. I just want to add one more reason to do that over the extender: by using an extension for the hitch, you are adding a lot of extra stress to the hitch. Your jeep is only rated for a tongue weight of 350 lbs from...

Hell hath no fury like a triggered caveman

You mean "Cavemen create rim"

No no, skillets are pans, don't muddy the waters!

Yes, I should have specified, while 10k is plenty, I'd do the 12k Badlands all day. I like overkill. Besides, something to consider is that winches tend to be used to recover other vehicles just as much if not more than they're used for self recovery. You never know when you need to pull that...

10k is good. I have a smittybilt, and even tho that brand gets a bad rap, it has been reliable for me. I got it almost 50% off, so it was a no brainer at the time. If I were in the market for a winch right now, I'd do Badlands all day.

A picture is worth a thousand words

The best way to end 4runner love is to stop talking about 4runner love...

This happened to me recently when I went wheeling on a trip that included a creek bed. Drove for a couple hundred yards through a foot of water, sometimes deeper. Didn't notice a thing til the next day when I walked outside and my tires had a bunch of green on them, exactly like what you are...

Charouleau Gap, Mini Moab. Yes I was able to make it up ;) Same trip, different obstacle - The Step

Not really any action shots of setting it up, but here is a decent pic of rolling into a campsite a few weeks before. The awning hadn't come in yet (jeep looks different now too).

I would argue everything from metalcloak is great quality.... but for an overland rig, the lift and skids are something you might want to put more thought into. Not that metalcloak isn't great for these, BUT weight is usually taken into account when Overlanding. There are specific lifts with...

At the very least just push down on each of them to make sure they are seated correctly

Took it into the mountains to do some camping with the new trailer. Every camping trip is like a new shakedown run with the trailer, not only figuring out how to pack it, but figuring out how I'll need to build in extra goodies like drawer systems and power receptacles. Got snowed on, that was...

Had to test her pulling the turtleback trailer. Went to an amazing spot in the southern AZ mountains. Got to sleep next to a creek that was flowing pretty good... not a common thing out here! EDIT: It was a dog in the interstate. 37s with 4.56 gears, I was able to keep it below 4500 rpm as...

Well... I mean you are right tho, if you don't do 37s you're a chump. I assumed that was obvious...

If the intent is to ask which is "better" for wheeling, I'd recommend 35s with skids. If the question is about which you should spend money on, it depends on how much you want to spend, which products you're considering, are you already lifted enough for 37s? Is it a question of paying for a...

Just saw this thread!

I think it could maybe do ok down the main Box Canyon stretch. Through the canyon is pretty scenic.
