    Jump Seat to Console Swap Process

    I have the jump seat and would love to swap for a console, if anybody is looking to go in the opposite direction. Currently traveling around Oregon.

    Sorry for the late reply, I'm not active here and actually just ran across this thread when searching on Google for something else. I don't have a photo of the baseplate handy and assume at this point you've already figured something out, but reply back if needed. I can say we've towed it over...

    Ran about 60mi of level 2-5 trails (according to OnX) a couple days ago. I didn't take any photos on technical terrain, but it was a good day of just cruising around the desert and figuring out what the truck can do before moving up to the level 6 trails which I think it is capable of... maybe...

    I was just reading his thread and looking through his gallery to try and figure out details. Probably easiest just to reach out to him via direct message.

    I’m in for 5.13s as soon as I can find them.

    See my earlier posts in this thread, a couple pages back. 37x12.5 Toyo Open Country M/Ts. They run on the larger size for 37s. On the factory beadlock capable wheels, they rubbed on the radius arms and sway bar. On these wheels, I had to trim the inner fender liner near the back of the wheel...

    Swapped the factory beadlock ready wheels for Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm today. Took a heat gun to the inner liner but couldn't get enough clearance, so ended up trimming a bit. This time I put it through a good test drive with lots of bumps, dips, and tight turns before claiming to have no rubbing.

    The other reason we stopped here is because I found a Method dealer who could order in 17x9 +18mm 704HDs for me, on my timeline. Got them installed today. Trimmed the inner liner and drove around making sharp turns and trying to find all the bumps and dips to see if I could get it to rub - ahhh...

    Made it to our next stop. It's in the high 90s here, but there is a mobile fluid change guy we like who comes to you and this wasn't too far out of the way. I don't change my own motorhome fluids if I can help it, being that we have 36qts of oil and 48qts of ATF, plus the generator, and the...

    AFO doesn't use an electronic brake controller, It's by air pressure, with a fixed regulator. They don't offer various pressures or an adjustable regulator, and I'm not planning to retrofit one. Since it's 100% proportional, it only actually pulls on the MH when you stand on the brakes and send...

    Well, the rubbing has already annoyed me to the point that I ordered Method 704HD 17x9 +18mm wheels in matte black. After putting some more miles on it, I found that my first impressions were wrong. They rub quite a bit on both the sway bar and radius arm. If anyone wants to pick up some...

    170mi for our initial travel day, no issues with towing at all. Red flag warning with 30mph+ sustained and 50mph+ gusts, to the side for the first half and then into a headwind. We usually don't travel in that kind of weather but wanted to get moving, and the rig drove well regardless. Due to...

    You should ask what he wants for the factory beadlock rings....

    Thanks! It tows great, or at least did on our little test run. I'll report back as we get more miles in.
