That didn't take long to start rusting. You think there were defects in the power coat?

Yep, probably not prepped right before powder coating.

That really sucks Pat, but I'm excited to see this in person when its done. Going to have to do the bumpers on my xj, these Iowa winters and roads are just to hard on stuff

I’m hoping it turns out good. My friend in Sioux City is the local Rhino guy!

I've removed the Decked System and am going to sell it. The Upper Decker is great protection and I can reach everything in the bed with it open. My loss is someone's gain. I'm selling the Decked System with 2 D Boxes and 3 Cross boxes for $800 and I'll help you install it when you pick it up. Decked System retails for $1149, D boxes retail is $50 ea, and Cross Boxes Retail is $40 ea.

This has been sold!

They actually had to remove the original finish completely from the top and then prep the metal.

A few more little touches...
Bullets on my doors & tube doors to make changing easy. Fancy valve caps, and hitch plug...

Installed the new JTops Sunshade! Good quality, easy install. Will put top and doors back on later to see how it works!

Happy Independence Day!
