Okay I assure you I have more functions than constantly asking recommendations, but what electric impact drivers do you guys use? I've been shopping for one but am always weary that whatever I buy won't be low profile enough to fit where it needs to fit.

Ultimately gotta figure out a mobile "oh shit" on-trail repair box for the Jeep but definitely gotta get creative on where to store it all. I figure I'll try and have less than 180lbs of tools haha but who knows.
I have both of the Milwaukee 1/2” impacts. 2861-20 mid-torque (Good size for bringing along if you wanted)
2767-20 high-torque (big Bertha for the garage)
2754-20 3/8 impact
2457-20 3/8 ratchet

that should give you an idea. Other mw stuff too but that’s cuz I have no selfcontrol.

I use makita, but any of the major brands will do. And you will be surprised by how fast the weight adds up.

Hi friends! It’s been a while since the time we were checking this forum every 30 minutes!
We are doing well here on coastal Georgia. The spike is coming down, as it is in just about all states that have seen a flare up. Such is in these United States.
hope everyone is well and able to enjoy the virus free outdoors. This will pass; I have stopped listening to news. Outdoors is where we want to be anyway, right?
Looking forward to trail photos and videos from those of you who are lucky enough to do it. It gives the rest of us hope!

Saw this when Jen posted on the FB group, it sounds mean as hell and doesn't have any of that raspy ricey sound that a lot of them do. Those manual shifts really come alive. You got a pic on how much further it tucks up than the stock one?

Y'all back from up north? Still trying to get my lift on but it's been hot as hell and tracking down the tools has been a slow process. Would gladly trade some brews and meals for some expertise! I'm waiting on brothers 4x4 to call back with a final quote, it's been brutal watching the components sit around in the garage.

Hey John, didn't they give you a discount code for ordering on your channel?

Great company and loved them on my STI. Now looking to add it to my Jeep.

they are still working on getting this over to manufacturing, so it might be awhile before any info is available.
