The 44 in my 53 m38a1 was the same way, a ton of pre-load on the carrier. By pure luck i found that a trench digging style of pick worked really well due to the long handle mostly
I opted to raise my fenders about 3.5 inches. Helped a lot. Take a little off the hood, relocate a few under hood components, reform the curve by the grille and bam lots more room. The top of my fender is even with the rear bedline now.
@@joshuaatkins5197 i’ve seen a few people do that but I haven’t found it to be necessary yet. Defenders have always just been one of them things that I just haven’t cared that much about. I just take my favorite cutting device and create the room I need😅
Yes I did haha and it was nice having the traction at badlands. Still wasn't enough to get up V notch, apparently only the yota boys in our group could make it. Hoping to get that wheeling video out soon but I had/still have some product vids I have to put out first.
As far as the spool, I have heard of guys running the tc in 4lo, passenger hub locked, and driver hub unlocked until needed. Have you tried that? Sounds like a nuisance getting in and out of the jeep all the time, but cheaper than a selectable locker. Your paint scheme looks like mine. I have a can of white spray paint for body touch up (stock white XJ) and black for the under body. Whenever I have a random can of black I paint the underside wherever the rust is sprouting up.
@@benjaminreinhardt259 I just ran with it locked it just made for stiff ass steering but I have Hydro assist so it’s not terrible. But I made sure to unlock it every time it was time to head back to camp haha. I ran eight years with a lunchbox locker in the front so I was kind of used to it already, although with one of those when you go to 2 Wheel Dr. it kind of slips like an open, unlike the spool.
it made the steering pretty bad on the trails but with the lockouts Im able to disconnect it for street driving or getting to/from trails. Im more concerned my mile marker lockouts are going to explode. But it made it through 3 days of wheeling no prob! I ran a front lunchbox locker for 8 years so I am used to horrible front steering on the trail haha but I cant wait to get the 60 in with the selectable
