Things are moving along. The Tailgate insert is drying and almost complete. The front and rear diff covers are on, and the front suspension is about to be cut out.

Looking good! Those are some really beefy looking arms

Thank you. I am really impressed so far with the quality of the EVO components.

You bet! It's all about getting to those remote trout waters! Life is better than good, especially with a flyrod in your hand.

I couldn’t agree more (Central PA).

Still using my 12 JKR to get to those spots!

Just waiting for my 22 JT Willys to arrive so I can explore my favorite trout location(s) in that as well!!!

Nice! I'm heading to penns creek for (hopefully) the green drake hatch in April and some other good spots in Eastern pa.

Hope to see you there!!!

What was the lead time on the Black Sheep Tailgate mod/cost? Interested in seeing a longterm review on it when you have the time.

Thanks

I use my gladiator to get out to some unpressured trout. Here is a couple of pics of my trip to Colorado and Wyoming. I am leaving today for a trip to Arizona and New Mexico.

The lead time was just a couple of weeks. They were real good with communication and answered all questions quickly. I have to say when this arrived I was pretty impressed. This thing is built well and all metal. Even the latches and bins have no plastic at all. This would be great for recovery equipment or camping gear, but my plan was for fishing gear. Extra reels fit in the bins well, fly boxes lines etc. They run around $1500, but I feel the quality is worth it. I am not a fan of low quality things, and this unit impressed me. We are installing lights in the rack system with a switch in the bed so we can see in the box in the dark.

This is what I'm talking about!! You are in some great country to hit the rivers and those are some nice pictures. That is a nice long brown with some good color. My rod rack is being painted right now and will be mounted like your profile picture. I figured I couldn't change my profile pic until the rod rack hits the roof! Have a great trip and please post up some pics when you return.

I should have kept my JK also. It's a lot of fun having different rides. My wait for my 2022 just ended a couple weeks ago, so I know the feeling. Soon baby soon!

I know I’ve looked at a few in the past, but ideas on the rod holders/tubes?
