Ordered, but swapped the default gold magnetic plate that your link adds to the cart for the red one by deleting the gold and adding red manually. I sent you an email asking if you could also swap the gold "matador rings" in the free bundle for red ones. I try to match the red trim on my Rubicon whenever possible. Order number is 1031. Thanks!
Thank you for the order and I’ll make the swap for you on the Matador Tie-Down rings. No problem!

Yes, you can swap out the SpecGate in the cart for any color magnetic center plate you want - and the forum deal still works. Just add the one you want and remove the default option from the cart afterwards.

I’ll look into a way to make that a little easier on the front end to accomplish that … sometimes it seems like you need to work at NASA to program some of these website carts šŸ˜‚

Simply WOW! I'm impressed from the packaging to the install. Fit and finish is spot on and have already ordered a few extras now that I have it installed and can visualize all the possibilities! Including the tools to take the stock panels off and install the SpecGate plates was a nice surprise and bonus! Thanks for the deal!

Heck yeah! Keep those tools in the glovebox as the Torx T30 fasteners are all over our Jeeps!

We’ll have a universal plate that’s 23ā€x12ā€ ready to ship this week, so if the footprint fits then it’ll be a breeze… if not, we can explore making even larger InteGate mounting plates for these larger parts.

Further, we've had several crafty folks fabricate their own particular plates based on their specific applications.

Excellent! Exactly what we've been looking for :movember:

Tried coming up with a solution to carry Maxtrax and recovery gear year round in the bed, and not having to unbolt a ton of stuff from the bed every time the camper setup goes in for the weekend. Looks like this is it:idea: Curious to find out if the boards might be able to squeeze in together with the ladder

Physically, there's room for both the MaxTrax Lite boards and the ladder InteGate plate to be installed at the same time. You'd just need to get creative with the Matador tie-downs and a strap system to keep the ladder secured while driving. Otherwise, we just keep the ladder in the bed, ready to deploy at basecamp...

Like the others who have already commented, I am impressed with the quality and usefulness of this product. Because I can’t possibly be the only person here who only looks at the directions when absolutely necessary, here is a helpful pro tip to save you some time and head scratching.
The two screws shown in the pic below need to be installed UNDER the machined rail. This is the only place on the panel where this needs to be done. I know a guy who didn’t do this and he had to remove the panel after he installed everything else except these two screws, watch the video, then do it right the second time. 🤣

Received and installed them yesterday evening. We really like the quality and fitment. Congrats, your taxes shall not be increased next year!:giggle:
The other techs were so impressed, they recommended to the head-shed to equip the entire fleet up here in the great white north as shown below for winter ops.

Really cool that it closes flush with the Mopar roll-up tonneau cover!

The only suggestion that we have: How about adding a cutout in the L-track so the nuts can be inserted and removed without unbolting the track on one side every time? That would be really dope!

Love to see the ingenuity with the tracks + ladder + recovery ropes!!

As for the 41" L-Track piece being removed, you really only need to do it once at initial installation. But yes, we can explore tapping additional holes to minimize any additional work during the install.

From what I can see, I'd recommend tapping another hole in the brackets to secure them along the top section of L-Track with an additional quick release knob. Keep it super secure!

If it gets too funky on all the pothole-littered Mennonite gravel racetracks around here, the top of the brackets will definitely be fastened to the top L-track too :giggle: We'll see.
