Got my dual 450c compressors mounted up. Fabricated the bracket, and they mount to the frame up high behind the rear tire.

Did you build something in the way of a shield for the compressors? (to keep whats splashed up by the rear tires off them) That area on my truck ends up with a LOT of mud packed into it. Are you running a tank, and if so, where is it mounted? (I am looking at ideas of how to setup my pretty similar OBA system (444C)) Thanks!
(also, I have got to say AWESOME pictures, looks like you had a fantastic trip!!!!!)

The bottom has the plate to keep them shielded, also they are close to the rear wheel liner, i feel like they are protected quite well. Also the viair compressors are 100% sealed.
I hope to be mounting the tank under the drivers door. It will also have a skid for it.

Well at the end of last trip i got a sidewall flat, and decided i didn't want to buy another stock tire because i wanted larger ones anyways. Got a great deal on some 35x12.50x18 general x3s.
Look great they are a little louder than i thought but not too bad.

Convict lake was definitely frozen.
Took a trail up through the buttermilks looking for a waterfall that i have been to in the summer.
We made it with out walking, snow is a different animal.

The general grabber x3s did great.
We had a great time with zero issues, definitely want to do another snow run soon, any ideas on where to go next?

Did another weekend trip headed out to Lucerne valley, camped off Bessimer mine road. Then took dirt up Rattlesnake canyon towards big bear, stopped off at Pioneer town. Then hit Tip top mountain, and dirt to big bear.
All the yellow post sites were taken in big bear so we took the 18 back down the Cougar buttes and camped for the night.

Awesome definitely fun, not too challenging, have you done gold mountain recently? I would live to do it in the ram but im not sure how tore up it is. I did it a few years back in my old explorer.
Gold Mountain was the September Trail run https://americanadventurist.com/for...-25-big-bear-overnight.4116/page-5#post-75704
The lines through the first waterfall have changed, and it was rougher than the last couple times I had been through but certainly manageable.
