    I would like to send you a HUGE thank you. You posted a picture on Wednesday of the showroom of Epic Adventure Outfitters with Paul and The Jolly Ginger. Between the two of them was Shaun’s merch TSTN. The elusive hoodie that I couldn’t find was right there on the wall. So I gave Epic a phone call and talked to Jamie. Shawn was there also doing some filming. I have been looking for this hoodie since October. THANK YOU for posting that picture which got me the extremely hard to find hoodie.

    Absolutely the best thing you could have done. I'm not a fan of the gold plating and understand it's purpose, so I simply spray lined mine and left the ends gold. The most flex, a really nice ride and with the lowering brackets (and in my case I have the rear DB3 lowering brackets as well) truly a long arm ride, feel, and off road performance. I am however curious to know what caster you ended up with on that 3.5 inch lift? I'm on 4.5 inch and prioritized pinion angle over caster and ended up right at 4.8 degrees. I have the upgraded Ultimate 44 axle shaft up front so my drive shaft is spinning all the time. Just wondering if EPIC set up you're 2 wheel drive mode to allow you to keep factory castor (around 6.5) or did they prioritize pinion angle and go with lower caster.

    To add to your piece about showing some respect to your mechanic, people need to clean their rig (both inside and outside) before dropping it off. Nothing says F you to your tech more than dropping off a rig covered in mud and full of garbage.

    • @Venture2Roam
      @Venture2Roam  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We have a Harken Hoist pulley system (we have 2 of them) for getting the RTTs on and off the rigs. The 392 is WAY higher now..but it handles better and is more comfortable on road..I think that's a mix of the Metalcoak driving components and the Falcon Shocks.

    So when will you change gears? The 4.10 is not the best for 37". Looks great! Any plans on doing trips in So Cal? Like Death Valley, Mojave Road?

    • @Venture2Roam
      @Venture2Roam  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No plans to change gears yet, but I probably will. Right now I'm still seeing 8th gear on the highway and while it's a little sluggish, it's not that bad. Most likely I'll do the regear when I add a new suspension as well. We did the NV side of Death Valley and Mojave last year (film of that trip coming out soon)...it's incredible down there. I really want to get down the Bishop area this year, but we'll see!
