You seriously think Jeep purposely kept their payload numbers low in the Wrangler? The one thing that people have been complaining about for years and the reason people buy Land Cruisers and Troopies outside of NA rather than Wranglers for overlanding? I doubt that very much.
I guess we’ll see...
Yes, it adds weight. But your point was that it would "cut the over all load capacity of the JT by 1/3 to 1/2 the over carrying cap." It doesn't; it actually has a (slightly) higher payload capacity and the same towing capacity. Where's the downside?
Yeah, I hope they’ll eventually put out a standard width version. GR stuff is quality and worth it (IMHO).
Have you looked at the Nemesis flares as an alternative? I believe they‘re wider (unless you go with the Crawler version). Also aluminum (like GR)...
I did wonder about the “standing on the drawers” comment, but figured maybe you were using it to access gear on the roof of your cap.
100 lbs is not bad at all! :like:
This is awesome! Great job.
You might want to double-check with the vendor; I could be wrong, but I believe that rating is per hinge, so unless you are over 400 lbs (or have a lot of really heavy gear in each drawer), you should be able to stand on the drawers.
Speaking of which, how much do...
