Drove it up to the shop in Roswell hauling some junk the wife wanted me to put in the dumpster. Made a fiberglass mold on the front fender extension plug I made on the ‘64 Corvette and then did 90 down rt. 400 south and saw a sweet gobi Gladiator all decked out with a lift, wheels, snorkel and bed cap. Looked awesome, but no pictures. Takes two hands when you’re driving 90!

Here’s some pics of the project. I’ll pull the mold off next weekend and do the other side.

The contrast of the dark body to tan interior looks great! I didn’t expect it would work that well until I saw your photo. Nice!

Is this some kind of Florda Hillbilly speak:LOL:
Now that I reread it, yep sure nuf sounds that way. But just in case interpretation is needed:
Whiting - a type of fish, good eating, similar to tilapia
Washing machine - waves were rough, 20 mph gusts at the beach
Penn Battle 3 - type of surf fishing rod and reel
Thats what I get for typing during the Georgia Alabama game.

Thanks, Bob, I’m from the south, but it was over my head!

Not today, but on Friday (10/16 - our anniversary!) we went down to Hollister Hills for the Jeep Adventure Academy - had a ball! Used the Downhill Descent feature and realized what a great feature that is! We are really impressed with the capabilities of this truck, even in completely stock form. We did scrape the belly a few times, but we had a great time. I've got a couple of videos from my dash cam but the software says they're too large to upload...

Installed a Reese hitch bike rack and went for a ride with my girls around the O’Neil Fore-bay. Apparently Reese hitch 4-bike racks are designed for 4 dudes to go bro-cycling! Had to flip the girls bikes upside down and the weight distribution isn’t ideal but it worked. Added a ratchet strap to avoid dropping a mangled bushel of bikes on the highway for other Sunday drivers!

Can you explain this a little further? What kind of load is the roof rack capable of?
how long is the lumber you are hauling? Collapsible? Do tell
thanks

king tide this weekend in Neptune Beach, Fl which is NE FL. King Tide is a higher then usual tide that occurs during new or full moons but this one was exceptionally high. This road is near to the water but ive never seen it flood like this. Fun stuff.

Roof rack is mopar...quadratec has it rated at 150lbs. Bed rack folds to 3.5” 2x4 height + 1.5” cross bars (5” above bed floor) w/ removal of 4 eye bolts. I needed to be able to haul 16’ 2x4s. And wanted to be able to use roll up tonneau when not in use. Works out to be about 4’ back from rear upright (3 ‘ from bumper) and about 3’ off the front mopar rack making center of gravity near front bed rack upright. I’ll have to get a photo of it in the bed. Next adaptation may be replacing cross bars with 2 plywood panels to create a second “floor” when not bracing for hauling dry goods without removing bed rack.

cheers

Update to this project:
I went ahead and created the platform panels, removed the hinged supports and added some black paint,,,still the same 4 eyebolts to hold it altogether. allows for storage underneath and platform for plywood, mulch, etc.
