Similar thing happened to me in a parking lot with my JLU. I turned off the auto-brake feature but left the audible warning. I was not very happy with the performance of the system as a whole and did not want it on my JT.
Yeah I've been mulling that over as well. When I have time next, I was going to mock it up much like GFC's space frame with triangles on the side and gussets in the corners.
I should probably start my own thread so as not to clog Mike's thread with my much much more DIY version.
Not having access to a waterjet myself...back to the pivots. Can't get several plates water jettet for <$18/part. That brings the current BOM to ~$555 - which isn't bad considering the cost of most bed racks I'm seeing.
Now, to sort out a way to mount the base to the trailrail unistrut.
This is the only person I've seen with them so far. I can't find these tires anywhere.

As I get further along in parallel for a DIY solution, I'm finding that cost of the connectors might make it infeasible. The variable angle connectors in pink below are ~$16 each and I'll need 12 of them...
8020 doesn't have 165deg plate connectors that would be much cheaper. I made some "L"...
Reviving an old thread for a question I have. What is the purpose of the bolt holes underneath the plastic there? Are they for installing a tonneau cover?
I had one of those moments as well with my bone stock JT. I hate that this is a cure-all, but lowering my tire pressure did help. I think the real fix would be some CA relo brackets like the AEV or Rancho ones. Apparently they address brake dive.
Cheap tire is doing cheap tire things? That's crazy. I've been wondering when the compromise would show up on these pats, seems like they like to chunk as they age.
