I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I have one, the 12 k one. Have yet to use it, but I've on DF there is a thread about them. I'll go see if I can find it, but the short answer is they seem to work good.
So, while doing the fluid change I had to pry the penzoil filter off. It looked pretty bad on the outside and the oil was black as expected. I put a generic back on since I didn't want to shock the system (and I had it on hand) You can put a 2 quart filter on these like used on HD trucks.Checking the tranny the oil looked pretty good. Very little black on the dipstick when checked on a white towel. As I said above I have to remove the cross-member to get the pan bolts off. Back 2 bolts cannot be accessed otherwise.
As I upgrade and lift I will clean her up, seal the underside and re-enforce many parts/areas. I am almost done with the "fluid change" and the only hitch is the tranny service since you have to remove the cross member to access the rear bolts. Then a little grease and she will be a driver.First things first is I am getting it into a daily driver mode. This will cut down on the Dmax miles (well over 100 now) and give me a better feel for further upgrades and needs. Looks nice with the inside cleaned up but it needs a console so I can set down my coffee and hide some toys.Ok, so lets start working on this lift. Options for the rear are a 2 inch and 4 inch shackle flip and then get springs to get the 6 inch total.I have been looking at these; One is 2 inch, the other is 4 inch. I think both will need a little re-enforcement.
While doing a little research I found this writeup on winches; http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/129-1107-massive-multi-winch-shootout/

Looks like most places have about the same so it comes to shipping and what you get for the $$$.Hard to touch $600 for 4 tires and wheels shipped though. Did you get your bead locks from them?
