We recovered over a dozen ditch-bound vehicles over the past couple winters. Soft shackles used both front and rear with no issues. A side benefit of soft shackles is they aren't heat-sucking iron for your hands when it's -10 F. We have soft shackles from Factor 55, Yankum and Vevor; all seem...

Where are you in NH? I'm in Central Vermont and installed my own last Spring.

Yep, have one. Replied to DM.

Three from auction. Doing everything in-house except the finish bodywork and calibrating the sensors/cameras. Pretty sure I have an aux. air pump hose kit and may have a right front shock. Let me know when you confirm on your end.

He actually owned the house we now live in. (Robert Frost, that is.) We are less than a mile from his local summer cabin.

FWIW, I have parts in Central Vermont. If anyone needs parts for DIY, please reach out. Currently have our daily driver, one donor chassis and two coming together.

Did you get any traction on this? I have a couple broken headlights and played around with the wiring a bit. The low beams and running lights are pretty straightforward but I haven't sorted the high beams or turn signals. Let me know what you know and maybe we can reverse engineer what we...

I've had good experiences with mobile service in Vermont. We still haven't been to the service center in 18 months and 25k. *knock on wood*

Something similar happens from time to us - perks of living on dirt roads. Usually backing up and hitting the brakes, going forward and hitting the brakes, lather rinse repeat a couple times will do the trick. What other folks said are also good options. If that doesn't work and you are able...

Yes. Been there, done that!

If you don't want to drill, Electrified Overland makes this frame and we find it very versatile and sturdy.

Very glad you found this helpful! Here is what's behind the lower dash trim. It is pretty tight with the duct work; only about the depth of the plastic tab that secures the outer trim panel before you hit ductwork. At least there is a second layer of plastic that could give a short screw good...

They sold 2024 R1S' with DM/Max so you may find one of them. I bought and am repairing a salvage one.
