ok, so day two of my new toy.
i let a buddy drive it today, gotta share, my parents raised me right. sitting in the pax seat i noticed how far aft the pax seat was versus the drivers seat. i'm 6'2", probably longer in the torso as opposed to the legs for my height. i like sitting higher in my...
oh, i think it's fine idea. never thought about it's application catching a few Z's at a rest stop, but i like it. a 15-20 min commando nap when you're fading can do wonders.
i couldn't do the neck pillow thing, i'd fall asleep. i can sleep anywhere at any time. you want something that'll keep ya up, my cj5 and 7. even i couldn't sleep in those things, when they were moving that is. i slept in the 7 many times on road trips.
sorry, i've digressed.
if it's replaceable at home i'm ok with that. when it starts to show wear ya replace it before the next trip.
i've already got a rivet gun, that'd be a legit option.
yeah. my luck, when it's time for the plastic to go, it'll the first night of my trip out on the trail. now, if it's an easy fix and you can carry extra rubber to fix it quickly, everything has a trade off. i may take that option over metal hinges. if you cant easily and quickly remove and...
dont understand something on this cap.
is the hinge portion for the side doors, ala the pics in post 29, that rubber strip?
or is there a metal hinge embedded inside the strip?
i've never had a cap with side access like these. if it's just the strip how well does it hold up over time? i live...
how did i forget this one. i think this was originally a WARN ad, i'm open to correction.
somewhere i've got a copy of this without the watermark, just cant find it now.
thank you for posting these.
between the three choices avail i've been completely up in the air. i think i'm narrowed down to the a/c and ARE. the one thing i question with the RDL is what someone else brought up, the hinge factor. i like that the a/c hinge runs the length of the door. looking...

i got one of these. i plan on welding piece of round tubing a lil bigger than the diameter of pad on top of the jack to keep it in place.
edit: duh...the rest of the story. i have a bottle jack i carry around. i'll have to look...
you could give me just about any color and i'd accent it to something i like. but, since i cant buy 4 or 5 trucks i just gotta work with one. i love the grey, i'd love a black and accessorize with bronze accents.
as a kid i remember seeing the john player special F1 car for the first time and...
here in phoenix i think the color i see most often is red and black.
i've a gator on order and have never seen one on the road.
a lil story: i was waiting for a gator to hit a dealer locally, i was debating between gator and grey. via jeep's website i found one when they started shipping. when...
