Recommend Me Some Overland Upgrades

[ZEUS]

Are the Warn hubs better than the Aisin hubs?
Diff drop?
Rear diff guard from Rocky Road?
ARB tire plug kit?
What kind of jack(s) are you toting?

Sounds like you will be having too much fun!

I trust Warn as an American Company

Rear diff guard is a maybe, not digging the weld on option

Have the tire plug kit as I don't travel with a spare (gasp)

I use the stock jack no problems with it on gravel, dirt, or pavement no need to carry a heavy *** farm jack or stupid exhaust jack

I don't really understand a Diff Drop or feel like I need one, I have maybe 1" lift in the front so those angles aren't too extreme. I like stock...stock=reliable


and tom4bren no heavy front end loads so I don't know about HD torsion bars isn't the front end stiff enough? Do you have them installed?

Hmm... I had a couple beers at lunch so sorry if this comes off snarky or whatever. No spare... that's how I rolled too - only carried fix-a-flat & tire plug kit - but I admit it was kinda dumb to think that was sufficient, even for the minimal time I spent away from home. No regard toward a real jack or spare says you don't expect to do anything all that challenging or rugged which means to me, HD links, diff guard, HD steering parts would all be a waste of money. I would agree with you, diff drop is unnecessary for your application. If you are not flat-towing then the hubs are also a waste of money (IMO). So it sounds to me like after brake upgrades you are just about ready to go!

Nope but others have. If you only have 1" of lift, then it's not worth it. Mebbe a steering stabalizer would be a nice option though considering your setup.
