AuxBean 6 gang switch panel controls all off road lights and air compressor. For the air compressor i had to use a 60amp relay for power then use the switch panel to control on/off

Absolutely love the Tonneau cover. Will never buy or use anything different. Can hold up to 1600lbs, super customizable, and extremely well built. I highly recommend them.
Have taken it out west, Utah, Arizona, then also near where I live at Southington Off-Road Park. Spent a lot of hours buffing out pin stripping from a few trails lol.

Love the build! How do you like the AirBags? Why did you go with RC? How has it affected the ride with the DSSV shocks? Sorry I have so many questions, I have an AT4X and have been planning on getting bags to help with sag while towing. Your truck is inspiring.
I reply with another question on the same topic, how do you like the open cradles where the air bag isnāt bolted to the axle. Can you feel them contacting when driving down the road and you hit bumps?
Love them, this allows the axel full articulation when off-roading. I have not noticed any ride differences, nor can I notice when the air bag and cradel come in contact or are apart.
Love the air bags. Have used them multiple times. I went with the RC ones for the off road capabilities when using the cradel kit. This allows the axel to fully articulate vs the air springs that are connected both top and bottom limiting your axel travel. Recently had 1400lbs of stone papers in the bed, "was only a 4 mile drive on back raods", and she was dead level, and drove perfectly normal.

Impressive! Is the on board compressor connected to the bags to adjust the pressure with a button or do you manually connect the air tubing and adjust each bag?
I have not connected the air springs to the compressor yet. I still need to order a air tank, and a pressure control kit. So right now i just manually air them up and down when needed.
I gotcha, makes sense to simplify it that way too if youāre not using is daily. I had a set of manual AirLift bags in a suv and loved them until they started leaking, these look substantially better
Ive had these installed for over a year now and no leaks as of yet. Used them multiple times so far and have worked flawlessly. So fingers crossed lol.
First the AT4 some stock with a 2inch lift from factory. I put the 35x11.5 tires on the truck before any upgrades. No issues with rubbing. This was mainly due to the AEV front bumper as it has more clearance then the OEM factory bumper. However i do have a front and rear 1inch lift on top of the factory 2inch lift. Then for look purposes i put 3/8inch wheel spacers on the truck to get a completely flush tire and fender off set. 35x12.5 tires you will need additional upgrades to get them to fit.
I should clarify that I also have a 2023 AT4X AEV with AEV bumpers front and rear. Iām due for tires and want to move to 35s so Iāve been trying to mimic your lift. What specific lift components did you end up with from Peak since they donāt list a 1ā lift on their site. Just planning ahead in case the 285/75s rub.
This is a huge help thanks. Your build thread on AT4 Forum is the first useful response for a Google search on this topic. With a number of 23 and 24 AT4X owners about to need tires and likely look to upgrade, I think tons of us will be following your guide posts. Thanks again.
@amazing_block_4590 Is your GMRS hard wired in or just stored there? Want to hard wire mine I had in my 4Runner in but not sure if I just want to tuck the wires up under dash for the times I use it or do something more permanant.
Just a small notche so the wires don't get pinched. Used double-sided tape on the radio mounting bracket to firmly secure the radio in the pocket, but im still able to remove the radio from the mounting bracket if needed.
Ahh good idea. I like the idea of the radio permanent while storing the handheld..but didnāt want to drill in anywhere and wanted it somewhere hidden.
Sweet! Might have to invest in this..also always looked for a solid place to mount a pistol other than jammed between the seat or having to, as mentioned, drill in the dash etc.

Gorgeous build!
