No this G-Wagen is similar to the Swiss Army's truck. And they hang their fuel cans right off the side of the bed just under the missile launcher.
I am absolutely interested! I agree with what seems like everyone, side and front panels! I think having both mounting options makes sense especially for people who do not have/want the rail system. Anxious to see how this comes out.
Awesome! I'll get the pricing as aggressive as possible, especially for the early folks. Not looking to get rich on any of this stuff, just make enough to pay the bills and continue tinkering!
Love all of this! I was also too cheap to add the rails to my build, but I did just buy them on their own last week. I think they were $360 or so. I'll try to install them today and post in my build thread. Regarding the interior storage, I'm cooking up something that I think you'll like. Again - build thread this week.This is awesome @BuiltRight !
Yes, please make these bed side storage to work both with and without the Jeep Trail Rail system. While many are getting the rails, I don't think the Sport/Sport-S guys can factory order the rails. And frankly I was too cheap to pay $995 to FCA for rails on my Rubicon...but I'd gladly pay $300 for your system!
Another part to consider is a bed side tire mount...a lot of guys are adding 37"+ tires and while some 37s fit underneath, they will be needing a solution. A bed tire mount could be a viable alternative.
For fuel carriers, I like the idea of Rotopax in the side locations as they are thin. But I already have a few military grade Sceptre (poly) tanks that I'd like to continue to use, so maybe some form of jerry can bracket?
Absolutely create a panel that goes across the front panel of the bed. This would be a good place to secure my Sceptre cans or a water supply tank.
Another area to think about...storage system for the rear seat (folded down or removed) and rear window (hard top) area. Many of us may not always use the rear seat (or all of the rear seat), so a system to organize stuff inside would be nice (not Hi-Lifts and axes...more Molle bag type gear).
And one last suggestion...and I know we are chatting about a canvas canopy framework in another thread. But since your bed rack is in the first photo and you clearly have the ability to make that too...if you were to study the Jeep Easter Wayout concept bed rack and replicate that as close as possible, I bet you'd sell every single one of those racks you could make! I'd have a hard time choosing between a canvas canopy and Wayout rack. But I'd likely do the rack as I can attach a rooftop tent to it. I'd be willing to sign-up for beta testing on that one!
Awesome! It's clear that the kit should accomodate with and without the trail rail. Over the weekend I had a thought of how I can cleverly do that, so I'll model that this week sometime and see how it looks. I like the idea of exterior storage. I think a couple others mention it as well. Will do some
I like where you're headed with this regarding compatibility with a cap. As far as the decked system, I think that would need to be a different variation, but it's a request that I get commonly on the Ford trucks stuff, so maybe it's time.
Sounds great. As far as the drilling and stuff, I'm definitely super against requiring permanent vehicle modification unless absolutely necessary, so you can generally count on us for simple/non-invasive installation. As for the bed rack, mounting stuff under it is super easy. I was actually out this weekend hunting down some more t-slot hardware so that I could mount my traction boards and a pelican case underneath it just like you described.
Haha, love it! I don't know if I've got the guts to start cutting into mine, but I'll definitely get under there and see how much work it would require, just to satisfy my own curiosity.
Sounds great! Yes, video was made in MN when I lived there. Just recently moved to CT to be close to family now that we've got a little one!
Unsure is ok! I'll add you to the list to ensure you get more info when available, but zero pressure!
Awesome! Yes, the two together will provide a ton of storage without totally killing the usefulness of the bed.
All sounds perfect. The front would definitely be an optional add-on type thing, since it's clear that some could use it and some wouldn't. I know a lot of people want the full depth of the bed unchanged. Got you added!
Haha, that's amazing.No this G-Wagen is similar to the Swiss Army's truck. And they hang their fuel cans right off the side of the bed just under the missile launcher.
Excellent!
Put me down for a set, as a matter of fact I have my Jeep Gladiator launch edition that you can use to display your product at SEMA. But I am definitely looking for a way to mount my gear.
2 things, 1 I'm not a JT owner YET, 2, how did I get bumped to 7th place?....... Jk
Could I? Certainly. The issue is that I can see that it's quite a complex manufacturing challenge as far as bed racks do and shipping would be a logistical challenge. That's not to say that it can't be done, but it wouldn't be inexpensive (for me anyway).
Awesome! I'll keep that in mind. Saw your PM and will respond here in a bit!
I simply add in the order that hands are raised!
Excellent! We have a lot of customers mounting their Powertanks and Pro Eagle jacks to our Raptor panels with no issue. I'll do a bit more testing and analysis on the JT racks to make sure they can handle the same load (not so much the panels, but the underlying mounting methods), as those are both relatively heavy items.
So I made a set of these for my own truck recently and posted in my build thread. I got enough interest via reply and PM that I thought I should start this thread separately, to discuss bringing these to market and hopefully get some feedback from the community regarding features and such.
