I’d like to replace fog lights…
I upgraded my fogs, but it required a few other changes at the same time. (ARB Summit bar) -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
Not sure it has a model designation (one point of feedback I gave them was that they should have model numbers and even revisions with change notes somewhere. They constantly improve stuff just like tactical 4x4 does. I wish T44 did also because ordering parts like the rear latch is not easy... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I had the tactical sliders and sold them. I went back to the Voyager slider and I worked with them on a new version. The version we made has a bolt on plate on just the driver side that protects the air tank and compressor. You can remove it and access the full air system without dropping the... -
Higher output alternator?
I also wish we had a water cooled option. The stupid alternator is so low that it can get filled with junk pretty quick. I'd also take a higher output one to run my 50 amp redarc DCDC and keep my winch happy during big pulls. -

Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I didn't pay quite that much, but after a few parts it will be close to that. 38 gallons additional solves one of the big issues with this platform... range. 58 gallons total gives me a lot more options for schedule and route on a trip. I also don't want to use my dual jerry can holder for... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
If you are referring to the size difference in the dual filler they provide and the OE filler tube size, then ya.. i will either have it modified or use the 1" to 1.5" fuel filler adapter I bought that is stainless. I don't plan on cutting the OE filler up to make adapters and all that crap... -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
I take the jerry can holder off once in awhile. It is pretty easy. One bolt and the gas strut and move the license plate. Takes maybe 10 minutes to remove or install an arm. Very reasonable to do that. -
Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?
The T44 bumper is definitely DIY. And btw.. the longer we get from these things being new, the MORE I assume owners are mechanically capable and doing more work DIY on these things. These vehicles are not that complex if you get to know them and not that practical to own if you don't work on... -
Moab trails with rooftop tent?
Definitely recommend normal height for most situations unless you need the clearance. I would normally just bump it up when I came to rock steps. Suspension droop is important. Most people just think a lift solves everything, but on IFS that is just ignorant. I really wish people would stop... -
New spare tire swing-out option
Ya, i don't want to be mean. It is his rig and whatever works for him and his taste I guess, but this is not a good idea for any off road use. The departure angle alone.. ouch. Style wise, well I really strongly don't care for this. Its way too low and far off the back and just looks... -
Boot height Q (sleeping inside)
I slightly raised and leveled the fridge so that its part of the platform. The cabinets wrap around it pretty close. You can't even feel it. That way I can easily open and use the fridge without any extra lids. -
Front End Suspension(?) Unidentified Noise
Meyle HD arms, they are still rubber without the oil filling. Stay away from poly they are harsh and can break things. Get an air hammer/chisel to get the bolts out. Less work than the saw method. -
Boot height Q (sleeping inside)
Ya, I like having my water/tire on the rear, roof rack is just for my 23 Zero 270 awning, maxtrax, full sized shovel and my two room shower/bathroom tent. Keep it light up top. I like this setup for my solo trips because it is so quick and easy and light. It's also good for road stealth... -
Coolant Vacuum Fill
Mine went to about -25. Then close the valve and shut off the compressor. Let it sit for a minute and make sure you don't have leaks. Then open up the fluid fill. -
Actual Water/Oil Temps
I use a vacuum fill tool for my coolant which I highly recommend. No bleeding required after using it. I recently replaced my original 2013 water pump with a new one which I found out is a crazy number of revisions newer. Now even when im driving around in summer (70-85F) on flat ground I... -
Boot height Q (sleeping inside)
I think you could fit two people just fine if you are ok with sleeping in a slightly small "full" bed. -
Boot height Q (sleeping inside)
Frontrunner drawers with custom platform cabinets (2nd row seats out, only 4 bolts per seat to remove). I keep my 50qt ARB fridge in the middle of 2nd row all the time. Exped megamat duo is perfect fit and really comfy. Even better than any of the 4" thick thermarest and other expensive pads... -
Going to MOAB. Suggestions on a family friendly trail?
My wife and kids would probably freak out doing Hurrah Pass to get to Chicken Corner, but it is a nice easy/moderate set of trails. That area is nice too because you can camp around the wind caves off the catacomb spur. And the camping spot just before the actual chicken corner by those cliffs... -
Firewall feed-through?
understood, i just wanted to post that for posterity so that others understand the risk. Those wires are easily damaged and could be a major pain in the **** to fix. -
Firewall feed-through?
I do not recommend this location. Way too easy to damage wiring loom/harness there. The brake booster grommet has nothing running through it and is nowhere near any important wire harnesses. -
Are all terrains really necessary for even mild offroading?
For me I like to be able to wheel for 7+ days somewhere like Moab and not have to go back into town for fuel. But I largely agree for US based travel. And I use a 15L Wavian jerry, I don't get rotopax. -
Lower control arm replacements
I have ~3k miles on my Meyle HD lower arms. They feel every bit as soft as OE but they are just rubber bushes and not fluid filled. They are not poly, its black rubber with a better design. Highly recommend. -
Tyre Trek Swing Away
I would agree that T44 is not built or designed by engineers. Eric is a fabricator. (A very good one, his welds are **** AF). Which is why I went with an ARB front bumper. The rear bumper is basically going over the existing cross member/bumper so its not changing the crash safety aspect of...
