That's not necessarily what the topic is about (despite my reference to the suspension in the OP). Its about the differences, if any, between the two hitches in relation to their weight ratings.

And that’s what I’m hoping is the case. The 220lb tongue weight limits me quite severely BUT I wouldn’t be hauling anything at great lengths with that much hanging off the hitch. The OEM hitch looks to have more reinforcements which is why I figured it’s ratings were on the cautious side.

*Bead Grip I wish they didn't ruin the wheel with that convex face because the flat/concave face on their other fitments looks great. Looks better than stock though!

I have a Badlands model with factory tow and I see the ratings are 220lbs tongue and 2200lbs trailer weight. The Curt model for the BS (CMF13474) is rated at 525lbs tongue and 3500lbs trailer weight. Curious on why they are so far apart on the ratings and if the factory hitch is underrated or...

They’re a traditional vinyl decal. I put a ceramic coating over the ones on the wheels to help with chemicals/UV but time will tell. I sold a few to another BS owner for $1.50/ea plus the 60cent stamp. I have plenty more.

Had some custom 2” vinyl printed and cut for the center caps on these wheels.

For anyone looking to tap in to the auto dimming mirror connector—our ‘22 BS BL did not have the auto dimming mirror connector as shown above. Ended up purchasing the correct harness to make hardwiring a USB port for a dash cam simpler. part number: LX6Z-14A411-BA Same harness if you want to...

none at all.

That makes sense and certainly a solution for someone not having the tool. Perhaps I'm counting too quickly :blush: Thanks for the clarification!

The ‘train left front’ is the beginning step to using the activation tool, once you do so at the front left the horn honks and the screen states ‘train front right’, so on until you’ve trained all 4 tires. Also, have you been able to successfully start the process with this method? Didn’t work...

I had no success with this on a 22 BS BL. Ended up having to use the TPMS relearn function along with a TPMS activation/reset tool.

Been eyeballing the Hobbs Razor overland rack...anyone have experience with it?

'Magic Erasers' are an abrasive, no matter how you want to bend around that word in the end the whole point of the product is to remove material. Using them on plastic trim is fine but if you focus on one section for too long you're likely to have visible inconsistencies across the surface.

Mounted up the new wheels and tires. 17x8 +40 255/65/17 Hankook Dynapro AT2

Preparing a new set of wheels and tires before install (ceramic coating the wheels and dry coating the tires). Looking forward to the install.

depends on the issue. If the bypass valve failed then they likely won’t replace it under warranty.

I’ve designed and produced a few motorcycle racks so I might see about doing a skid plate for the BS BL. We’ll see.

No, not at all. Seems awfully heavy for something protecting from minor debris and scrapes. Given how it mounts I wouldn't expect any bolt on solution like this to withstand much impact force so it might as well be light weight.

That's hefty!
