Thanks i'll watch that other thread. I still haven't decided if I'll get that guy or a Smittybilt XRC Gen3 yet. Or something else.
Im running the Smitty XRC. Plenty of power to get out of trouble. Even pulled my 20' pontoon up onto the beach, no problem. Only negative for me, is the set screw being on the side wall of the spool. Snapped it when I was doing tension respool. Then had to unspool the entire line, reset with a new screw, and start over.

Just the screw that holds the line in place while you get 6-8 loops spooled onto the drum. That's as best as I can describe it. You would see it when you pull the line out to do tension spool.

Added some stuff to the molle carriers including a tear away first aid kit:

So I have a question about this. What stipulates the plastic backrest versus a material one? Is it just the leather seats that get the plastic?

I didn't even know this was a thing till I started looking for seat covers for my ordered Gladiator, and they asked this question.

I could understand that better than the leather versus cloth. But I am plenty sure I had already selected Rubicon for the seat cover selector, and then it asked plastic or cloth backrest.

I hope it is a Rubicon thing...I like the look of it.

Sorry. I was looking at aftermarket seat covers. On their drop down menu (vehicle selector), it was asking the question.

Guess it’s just the rubicons then. I had some cloth ones in the back of my outback seats that now aren’t very useful for this .
Lots more molle webbing though.

Will take pictures, but installed CB antenna and two A pillar KC lights. To balance out the heavy equipment in the front, I now need more in the back...

or delete them.
+1. Ran into a troll last week on a social media forum. Baited me into a harmless comment About him (He said something very very not nice about a picture of my wife). Then he researched me reported me to the HR department of my company I work for. Not only are they annoying, but usually childish, as we can see from this particular person here.
