Early Birthday present

Lookin good. Based on some other members' experiences, you might want to put a screw or rivet on the front of the snorkel cap. Seen a couple of pictures after it flies off on the highway

Thanks for the tip.

Fedex found my other two packages, so I installed the rack. Did have to make a trip to the hardware store, Rebel shorted me 10 washers. Seems pretty quality though, hope it doesn't rust out in a year.

Waiting on some adhesion promoter and heavier weather seal to show up on Friday to do the tonneau cover

There have been a few posting on this, but wanted to add some callouts.
Added the Xtreme Recon Flare extenders.

Some owners with the factory Xtreme package have said they didn’t do much, but I have seen a good improvement especially in the snow.

Like some others, I went with the front extenders also on the rear.
This extends the Xtreme flare down to the bottom of the fender.
I trimmed the bottom to align flush with the bottom of the rear fender.

The fronts fit perfectly since the fenders are the same as the JL.
The rears fit, but they need a little persuading.

I added 1/16 foam weather stripping to the rears to help with a better overall fit.
Before adding the stripping, you could see very slight daylight between the fender and the extenders in a few places. *You didn't see this on the fronts.

I'm still running the stock 285's, but the RIMs have a +10 offset. Once I go to a bigger tire, I think this will be even more beneficial.

You don’t see the weather stripping.

It’s huge. Wife and I and two 80lb dogs sleep in there without touching (well, not always ) with plenty of room to spare.

What’s the weight capacity?

How do the dogs get up there?

Overhead press currently.

Future plans are to add rubber mats or something like this.

 

[BLK HOLE]

What’s the weight capacity?

Tent - 1100lbs
Rack - 700lbs, static (would be 900lbs without the bed cover brackets I added).

Wife/me and the dogs and awning are well under that.

I added a vermin screen to the upper air intake. made from gutter screen from the HD - easily formed to fit around the intake. It is just friction fit for now. seems pretty solid but will keep an eye on it to determine if a more permanent attachment method is required. Still need to do the same to the grill intake.

Completed the screens for the air intake - grill removes easily with 6 push pins, tilted the grill toward the front then disconnect the camera spray, then the camera connector at the lower right. Pull forward to disengage the 6 clips at the bottom And set the grill aside. Use a T-27 to loosen the cross brace to access the intake port.
I was going to place the screen over the intake port attached with the T-20 bolts at top and bottom, but then realized that only those 2 T-20’s and 2 Christmas tree plugs were holding the rubber radiator surround in place. So I pulled that off and sandwiched the screen between the port and the surround for a cleaner look. There is just enough of a lip on the port for the screen to fit without falling in.

Didn’t even know this intake was there! So there’s the on top and this one. Is there another behind the passenger fender?
