    Sweet thanks! I’ll have to check with my friend that welds and see if he’d be up for a project like this.

    Awesome, thanks. You guys have been super helpful already! I want to do more of an overlanding build than an off roading build but don’t want to damage anything when Im getting to the spots I’m camping. But I also live and camp mostly in the Midwest so I don’t know how much trouble I can really...

    Nice! Those were some of the first that popped up in my search. I just started looking into all this stuff so still have a lot of research to do but holy cow does it look like I can spend a lot of money making this thing sweet haha.

    Okay cool, yea I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but good to know it won’t so I don’t get invested in that idea. I’ll take a look at those, would you recommend doing sliders or skid plates first or does it not really matter?

    Nah I don’t have any step at all on it. I’ll get some sliders at some point though cuz they seem useful and look cool too.

    Cool I’ll look into those and do some research. I know sheet metal is way too thin for it, I just thought since they have a break at the shop to make those bends in metal if I knew how thick the steel needed to be to offer good protection and had a template we could maybe make our own. We also...

    Uff yea, are the OEM ones okay? They look quite a bit cheaper than the rest. Or… my husband does hvac and they fabricate their own sheet metal fittings so they have the machinery to maybe make them ourselves. Do you know how thick the metal need to be for them?

    Okay cool, I don’t plan to do much off-roading, just enough to get to where I want to camp but that seems like a good investment in case I start to get into it.

    Haha yea that’s not the goal. I do like the look of lifted vehicles buuut in reality I wouldn’t need it for the places I go. Maybe someday I’ll get out west and be able to explore some cool spots but everywhere we go regularly for camping I’ve been able to get to with our little Mazda hatchback...

    Good to know, thanks! I do like the look of a lift but good to know how capable it is from the get go. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to replace the suspension based on how it rode on the test drive so I’m trying to decide if I just lift it whenever I do that or if I just do the suspension...

    Okay cool, thanks that’s good to know. I have a feeling I may need to do something with my suspension soon, it felt a little soft/bouncy on the test ride and with how old it is it makes sense it’s wearing out. I’ll see what my mechanic says but if I do need to I guess I’ll just have to upgrade...

    Awesome! Thanks, I’ll definitely put that on the list for upgrades.

    Okay awesome! So maybe a dumb question but I don’t know much about cars… if I take it to the mechanic and they say your suspension is worn out you’re gonna need new stuff can I say put this kit on and be good to go? Or would I need to replace the suspension and then add this kit?

    Thanks! Yea the radiator was already replaced but I’m gonna have the whole thing looked over to make sure everything is good to go. Will the Old Man Emu kit work with just a rtt? I doubt I’ll be doing any armor on it, closest thing would maybe be a beefier bumper to try to protect from deer...
