ARB Deluxe Bars Bumper + Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S Installation

All installation is performed over 1 or 2 months period.  I have an open air garage (no garage).  So, all installation need to be done during day time.  Weather also another factor for the long installation span.  The winter has been brutal in our area.  We got snowstorm till mid April. Before installation start, there are a few prep work can be done.  I have done the following task before bumper installation.   Prep winch for installation to the bumper. Bumper pre-prep tasks before installation to the Sequoia.   Winch Prep (Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S) The winch I choose for this installation is Warn Zeon Platinum 10S.  This is a winch rated as 10,000lbs pull capability.  If you are looking for the specification of the winch, you can find it at the following link.   https://www.warn.com/truck/winches/ZEON_10-S_Pltnm.jsp In additional to the winch, you will need the following parts. ...

Curt 10k Weight Distribution Hitch

I decided to install the weight distribution hitch that I purchased about a year ago from Cabelas.  After reading some online instruction and watching video, I started to make the adjustment required to install the hitch.

You can read my purchase at http://www.chinpoptrip.com/2016/01/trailer-hitch-upgrade.html

It was a great deal that the setup only cost me less than $130.  I purchased a hitch ball for another $12 from walmart.


It's on the lowest height





The tank and battery are blocking the adapter

I measured the height of SUV bumper before hitch up with the trailer.  Then, I go ahead and hitch up with the trailer.  There is a little bit more than 1" inch drop.  With weight distribution connected, I measure the height of SUV bumper again.  There is about 0.5" inch drop.  This is very cool, I'm able to cut the vehicle sagging about 50% improvement.  I'm sure this will help the uneven tire wear.

Next, I will need to replaced all four tires and do a 4 wheels alignment.
