RenoRubi Build

[RenoRubi]

1st few mods
1) Daystar 1.5” level kit
2) Bedrug XL for the bed (why bother with a spray in when you can scratch the crap out of the bed and then have it line-x later on
3) Mopar trail rail

Diamondback HD tonneau cover, it took 24 days to ship. Probably coronavirus related... oh well worth the wait. If your even considering getting the SE, just get the HD and have no regrets. It was easy to install but the bulkhead seal will need to be close to the edge nearest the window.

Go rhino DSS rail. It does a great job blocking mud and rocks... way way way better than the Evo rocker bomber sliders that we have on our JLUR. It’s however NOT frame mounted and the directions were horrible. In fact it was the wrong truck they sent out. Luckily quadratec has awesome directions they make themselves. I would not bash rocks with these.... go rhino calls them sliders but I can tell you if you slide off a rock onto this it will mess up the sheet metal body at the pinch seam.

We also got a set of used XL original rokblokz for the front only that we just installed. With the offset of our tires/wheels (4.75 backspace with 315/70r17 Mickey Thompson’s atzp3) it’s perfect. They don’t stick out too much.

Tires: Mickey Thompson atzp3 315/70r17
Much more quiet then the cooper stt PRO that we have on our JLUR. We lost 1 mile per gallon; BUT, gained 100 smiles per gallon!

Wheels: icon rebound satin black 4.75 backspacing. Got them on their crazy 25% off sale.

perfect amount of offset in my opinion. Fair warning you need fairly thin walled lug nut sockets for the icon rebound wheels.

also the tpms from the jeep JL do work; BUT, the Mickey Thompson tires are too thick and the driver rear sensor reader won’t pick up the sensor. I switched wheels/tires from a side that picked up and it did the same thing.

I just ordered my HD! it will be a little while till it gets here though due to the virus.
How is your bed storage set up? Im trying to get some ideas since Diamondback doesnt make a crossbin for it..

I reached out to builtright industries Bc the diamondback mounting clamps interfere to some extent with some Molle panels from manufacturers but they never got back to me. I might take measurements to send to them to see if they think the side panels will work. Otherwise right now I’m shamefully just tossing stuff into the bed haphazardly.

Bought a 46” wide Yukon 9 drawer cabinet from harbor freight and turns out the diamondback HD can conform to give exactly the space I needed to bring this 200lb beast from
Harbor freight. It seriously Fit perfectly.

Will it work without the wheels? Shoot me a photo once you have it set up. I’m excited to see it!

How wide is the opening with the one panel folded back?
