Took advantage of the Memorial Day sale and picked up an arb dual brushless compressor and the KR bracket from 4x4turcksled this week. I installed the bracket and wired it up this afternoon. Bracket seems very sturdy and the installation was easy. I would definitely recommend it if you are...
Thanks I did order from you and now see the wiring instructions. Thought they were just for the bracket. If I had read the whole thing I would have seen it sooner. :) They do mention connecting the uplifter to the red wire I was referring to. (y)
Convinced me to try the Apex reel. Going to get the parts ordered this weekend. My compressor was delivered today and am looking over the harness and the diagrams you marked up. Big help but have two questions. Should the green wire in the harness for the manifold be removed if Iām not...
Great write up @MileHighWT ! I ordered a brushless twin compressor this week from @4x4TruckLEDs.com to go in my badlands. Iāll definitely be referring to this during my install. Had been considering a few options for mounting an air fitting at the front or back of the vehicle and using a...
That bottom plug was a SOB. What finally worked for me was unbolting the existing module and removing the wiring support bracket that was attached to it. That bracket just pulls out, once I did that I was able to gently turn the module over giving my better access to the plug.
Iāve had the perimeter alarm for a few months and finally am looking at installing it. You all werenāt kidding about trying to get that out. I messed around with it for about 20 minutes and thereās no way Iām getting it out without unbolting the module. Plan on fighting with it this weekend.
I wonāt have it installed for another week or two but the bottom profile of your cargo box will dictate which bars you need to remove. Assuming the profile has recesses where the mounts pass through it, Iād measure from the rear of the box to the back recess and the space between the two...
I have a Thule Motion XT XXL box. I kept on the front and back bars plus two bars in between to attach the box to. Seems plenty rigid enough. Iām probably not putting more than 150 pounds of ski gear in the box at a time. It will reduce the amount you can carry but the boxes have fairly low...
Ran a box on my TrilRax rack all winter for skis. Ended up just removing a few of the load bars to accommodate the recessed mounting points on the bottom of the cargo box. It worked fine.
This is the setup (Motion XT XXL) that Iām going with for multi-day trips when Iām hauling several pairs of skis. Picked up a pair of Ski Blocks to help keep them organized in the cargo carrier. Cargo box will also see use for family trips or I would have gone with something a little lower...
Donāt want to be a wet blanket but I think itās important to understand it normally takes a while for their orders to ship, but the quality is great. I received an in production email on my order towards the end of July. Maybe youāll get lucky and get an early delivery. š¤
Mine did arrive...
I have a couple of bags laying around and that was my plan. My problem is I to drag too many skis along not know what mood will strike me that day. š
Received notice the other day that my stirrups were shipped and should have them the middle of next week. Ordered July 4th if anyone is trying to gauge the lead time.
Can you grind down the t-slot adapter to fit? I believe the extrusion takes 1/4-20 t-nut but maybe @TrailRax can confirm. Iām sure you could run a bolt into one of those to secure it.
Another option that would probably work.

I havenāt really missed my truck yet but do have to think about what I can fit in the back of the Bronco. That issue never came up with the truck. š
If I put the narrow back seat down I can get my 188s in the back if I angle them. Not ideal but can make it work. My 165s fit straight in no...
Interesting @Molly&Moby . Might have to steel that idea for hanging fishing rods in my Bronco. I donāt know about your skis my mine are caked with snow at the end of each day and would be getting dripped on the whole way home. I general clean them off before getting on the road but there is...
Iām at 17 weeks. I emailed them two weeks ago to check in since someone posted that they had received theirs and they had ordered a few weeks after me. Was told around the end of the month. Itās around the end of the monthā¦
Kind of expensive for what they are but here is an option for boxes. Just picked up a Thule Motion XT XXL for my skis and may try these. That or a yoga mat on the bottom and the skis in bags. For local (1-2 hour) trips will probably just throw them in the back and maybe see if I can strap...
