Installed an Alu-cab tilt slide for my ARB .  Will be nice not to have to stand on tip toes to get shit in the back 

 

need to redo the wiring of the arb plug to be closer to the back at some point 

 

[Jdofmemi]

That's a very useful addition. 

 

You and especially Joan will love it. 

[Weebz]

That’s pretty damn slick!

2 tires not holding air .  Had certs that I purchased just over 3 years ago so technically out of the replacement period .  Americas tire agreed to replace 1 even though the technically don’t cover off road use .  
 

Not bad. Will swap one out and keep other as a spare .  Tires still have 11/32nd so figure can get a few more months before I swap all 5 

 

[Jdofmemi]

That's not a bad outcome

[fiend]

Wow. That’s pretty generous of them.

Looks like a good time.  I want to check out berdoo some day.

Pioneer Town is pretty cool. 

 

We tried to stop for dinner after the Motino turn, but it was packed. Had a 2+ hour wait for a table.

Yep!

 

Have to try it again when it's less crowded

Pioneer town was discovered by the Instagram hipster crowd. Gonna be long lines until they find the next big thing.

First trip out with the Xventure XV-2 trailer I got from Ed .  Only a 1 night trip with the kayaks but super fun .  
 

One thing I don’t love is that my cheap knock off DV8 bumper has an integrated hitch .  Claims it’s class 3 and rated for 3500 lbs but the bumper has been twisting .. downwards from the trailer . There are a few bolt holes to bolt into the frame on each side that aren’t utilized (the bumper didn’t come with that hardware) so going to get those installed first .  
 

down the road might move to a high clearance bumper that lets you retain a hitch bolted directly to the frame . Any rear bumpers that you all like that fit that description?

Awesome…I’m glad you are out enjoying the trailer.  I’ll post up a pick of Brites rear bumper and hitch receiver…I have a GenRght…

[Jetlau3]

Does anyone know the size of the bolts for these 2 holes in the frame ? 
 

bumper comes slotted for these but no bolts or sizes included 
 

[Crawl2Camp]

 I *think* they are the M12x1.75 (although it could be the 1.5).

I'm pretty sure once it's fully bolted, it will handle the trailer just fine

[fiend]

I would use Grade 8 fasteners for that or the metric equivalent, 10.9.  You don’t want that trailer detaching from your Jeep. 

[KevinG]

if you are talking about the bolt holes that the "L" bracket from the plastic ends from the factory bumper attach to, they are going to be the smaller (m10) size.  The don't go completely through the frame like the larger ones do.  When I had an AEV bumper, they attached the "hoops" that hold the tanks in place.  On mine they are now holding EVO mudflap brackets that never get used.

Makes sense .  This bumper is attached to the Jeep with 8 other bolts through the frame but these are the only ones that aren’t slotted to allow up and down play .  

[Jetlau3]

Thanks Kevin . Nailed the size. Think should be good to go now 

 

[Jdofmemi]

That should make it behave itself
