Where'd you get the one in the first pic? Someone was looking for a place to put their phone and that looks ideal.

I just found one on Amazon and ordered it for that very reason.

Finally finished the Coverking install and put the top back on, I’ll see tomorrow if the Kilmat makes a big difference on the Sound….

Did my first oil change in my JT in my garage. I’ve had the dealership do it but since they decided to leave off my radiator overflow cap last time… I decided enough was enough for them being lazy.

So, I had this Yakima rack and the big ol’ luggage carrier thingy that attaches sitting under my house that I had planned on mounting to my JT when I got it.

However, I quickly learned that I should have bought a cab height rack.

(Let that be a cautionary tale to all who buy a bunch of accessories the day the buy their rig. Drive it for a while until you figure out what you actually want/need for YOU!)

So I took a trip down to my local fabricator in Columbia, SC whom I have used before when I bent the hell out of a step on my Tundra (a work truck lease BTW). Dude is awesome and fixed it better than new for cheap.

I thought I could have him make some brackets, and he said he could buuuuuuut it’d Be like $300.

Although my name is Italian l, I’m actually Scottish, AKA I’m cheap.

long story short he had a 32” piece of 4” tube lying around he gave me and this is what’s left.

Swapped the Nitto Ridge Grapplers that vibrated like mad at 25MPH to a smooth running Geolander G003!

Did you have to do any trimming / cutting to get that 37" underneath?

Two things I see are the heat shield is gone and the exhaust has been relocated...

 

[HooliganActual]

I have the same tires. Did you remove the heat shield for the spare?

I have not, and it is wedged in there barely. One guy at Discount on his back pressing up while another was cranking it into place.

Did you try airing it down? I have a 37" Toyo R/T in the spare tire hole. If I air it down to about 20#, it slides in and out fairly easily. I have onboard air so I can press it up when needed.

Heat shield is still there and it's a diesel on exhaust.

It's super tight mostly because of the heat shield. Aired down to 20 psi it went in with assistance pushing up and someone cranking.

Replaced my rear shocks yesterday. Lost a seal on the passenger rear. Went ahead and upgraded both rears to the newer Icon 27727CP adjustable version and will have the old ones rebuilt for another time.

How many miles were on the first set of Icons? Is there any warranty on them?

Finally swapped tops for the summer. This is the first time having the soft top with the steelies and I'm liking the nod to the Kaiser. Funny how different the truck looks just by changing the roof line.

Finally got a chance to test out the Epic Kraken. Worked perfectly!
