Yeah, I've already pulled off anything that will fit on the new wrangler I want to get, just leaving a few things like the swingbox and bed molle pannels. Here in the city its a 10% sales tax on a new vehicle when you add in both state, county, and city, so trade in is going to be pretty key...
So, I've loved my truck since the day I got it, and have spent hours adding new toys and mods here and there over the last year. However living in the city, I've run head first into the realization that most garages in the city are not meant for pickup truck length. The place I'm moving to...
They are a really small business (husband and wife) from what I hear, so yeah may not be able to do the sponsorship. But on FB they have replied they are still trying to make this work.
Added the 813 Fabrication MOLLE panels to the bed and tailgate. Was super easy install and no drilling, so liking them so far. Nothing mounted to them yet, but they seem pretty solid from what I can tell so far.
Yup, that's the fun part :). I've been doing things bit by bit all year long as I see things on sale or find a post on the 'what did you do to your gladiator...' thread that I really like.
A Dual ARB compressor (and associated accessories) and 813 MOLLE panels for the bed. Can't wait to get it all installed on a slightly nice-ish day to be in the garage :).
You could also look at a hitch-based extender: https://www.etrailer.com/Truck-Bed-Extender/MaxxTow/MT70231.html?feed=npn&gclid=CjwKCAiAt9z-BRBCEiwA_bWv-BaRhTheov3Td6DS9-VHOlk-PWPUF2cPLFxpUYBzLNlkI6G_BBtVBRoCHr8QAvD_BwE
You weren't kidding. The Drummond trip opened up this morning, and was booked already when I just looked. I know they did a bunch of pre-registrations it looks like for folks that trip's got cancelled for Covid this year, but that's crazy. Joined the waitlist so will have to wait and see now...
I'm from Chicago (if my name didn't give that away), but went to college in the U.P. so thinking of trying to hit the Drummond or Wisconsin JJ this year. I've never been, but was wondering if anyone else here was thinking of going (or has gone to either of those in the past and has reviews /...
The top is like 60 lbs, plus the winch and lumber I figured 100lbs max, and each rail was rated at 100, so I've got 4x capacity easy. I probably could have done just 2 rails, but for like $30 each why risk it.
So they are John Stirling R-BYP-100-2D6 . I had 2 sections on each side since I needed 12 ft. The model I got from menards says its rated for 100lbs / door. The one on their website looks different and says 100 total. The one on this PDF (under 100lbs) is the one I have...
I've got a shorter garage, and wanted a top lift so I can pull it off by myself, but also didn't want to hit my head on it constantly in the middle of the garage (I'm 6'4"). So got a hoist-a-top and build a custom rig for it, and mounted to some sliding door rails to get it out of the way.
Rig...
Have it and love it. When on the 'firm' setting you can certainly tell it on local roads, but its great for the highway. I keep it on the medium most of the time unless I'm going to take a longer highway trip. The ability to flip it in about 10 seconds is super nice.
