On this first short trip, I used 2WD, 4WD high, and low. I unlocked the sway bar and used the rear lock and at times front and rear diff lock. The AEV choice of Bilstein shocks is a good one. I never felt anywhere near being out of control except in the mud hole where I tried to roll the thing over. I could get the 37s to rub during extreme flexing, but only then. I did not air down this time, and I also carried no recovery gear and do not have a winch installed at this point.

I mean, if you can’t see what good would the rest of that stuff be anyhow?

And those AEV lights are super good, as in light up the night goodJust got back from the truck wash. It's blue once again.Checked the mileage. The drive down there, a few hours of crawling around, a lot of it in low range and the 70 mph drive home netted me something around 9-10 MPG!!!!!
Looks like a nice day of easy trails in the woods! Color me jealous!
