Ah ok, thanks. Yeah seems to be a common situation, I'm guessing due to flex and strength issues, but the search continues. I'm looking for something easier to remove and put back than the Max Modular 10"-18" setups so that I can haul tall things at will more quickly.
You wouldn't happen to know the height of the uprights on their system would you? Didn't see that spec on their site, so thought I'd ask while I reach out to them.
I'm trying to find one that clears the bars at least 8" above the bed edge and will mount under my BAK X4 at the edges or to the...
Heat is definitely your friend. I used the Bernzomatic Map-Pro torch when I installed my rails, and even with heat the rear passenger one didn't want to come out, had to heat it for quite a while several times before it yielded. I believe I had red loctite on the rears and blue on the middle and...
I threw one of these on: https://roninfactory.com/products/jeep-bullet-antenna?variant=18562255126579
Looks cool, small and fairly discrete, and works well. I haven't had any reception issues, though I really mainly listen to either XM (while it's still valid) or my phone anyway.
Installation was super easy. They mount behind the trail rails with their provided brackets, and the only drilling you would have to do is enlarging the 1 mounting hole in the plastic trail rail cap at the tailgate location on each side, as the brackets push the trail rails out ~1/8". I...
Got my bed equipped with some gear, and also installed my rockhard4x4 sliders. 2 out of 6 body mount bolts were a pain to get out, and one didn't want to go back, but with a torch and patience it got done.
My Rubicon rails are also for sale now.
Selling my Rubicon rock rails, hardware included. Were on the truck for ~850 miles, never taken a hit still in tip top shape. Not looking to ship.

I stopped carrying those large folding wads in my back pocket a long time ago and moved to a nice simple slim wallet by Dash that fits easily in any front pocket. That way it stays on me all the time and I barely notice it.
-6 offset, sticks out about 2.5" or so. I was initially worried about it, but honestly didn't end up minding the slight poke at all, and it kinda looks good with a bit of poke.
Here ya go:
I'd say a truck that is a Jeep but now that I own it, it really feels more like a Jeep that's also a truck. I was cross shopping against the ZR2 bison and the Ranger, and the JT was the only one that put a smile on my face because of its Jeep characteristics. Had the Rangler Raptor been...
Unless you're hellbent on going the MOPAR route, you could do it much more easily and cost effectively via 3rd party solutions like the QuakeLED 8-output controller (just one example).
