    PS JKU Frame Mounted Ricochet Rockers

    I found a better pic of the EVO sliders. They are back on the list!! I do have a question about welding the sliders on, since it's rather permanent. Would there be any reason to take them off to perform any maintenance or interfere with future mods, I.e. Skids or a belly pan?

    PS JKU Frame Mounted Ricochet Rockers

    Does anyone here have any experience or opinions on these rockers? I think they are relatively new. I'm rocket shopping and need something strong, but with a functional step without "looking" like a step. I like the boat side styles, but am afraid that I won't be able to wash all of the South...

    Harbor Freight 440lb Electric Hoist - Leaving Hardtop up

    Nice!! I forgot to mention that I used heavy duty lag bolts instead of the bolts included with the kit. You had a lot of little issues that I didn't. Strange, I wonder if I got lucky for once!! :) in going to change out the eye bolts with a shorter set to gain a little more height, I think...

    Harbor Freight 440lb Electric Hoist - Leaving Hardtop up

    I cut two 1x2's to length. I then cut a couple pieces of carpet pad and glued them to the 1x2's. I wrapped the two 1x2's with microfiber and screwed them to the rack. I can post some pics tomorrow. My upholstery skills are pretty bad, but they do the trick.

    Harbor Freight 440lb Electric Hoist - Leaving Hardtop up

    If you have any questions, let me know. Here's a couple of things I did differently. I had the rack portion of my lift welded together rather than using their hardware. It used a bunch of "J" bolts to hold the floor of the cage to the framework. I then sprayed the whole thing down with...

    Front Bumper advice

    I'm in the market for a front bumper, too. I'm down to deciding between the FMF and the Artec NightHawk. Does anyone have experience with the Artec?

    If you look at the pic of my hoist, notice the red part. That is the lock that swings down into the crank to lock it. It is actually UNLOCKED in that pic!! Oops!

    Harbor Freight 440lb Electric Hoist - Leaving Hardtop up

    "Is that a drive thru garage? I was going to joke about not having a garage door opener than I saw the other side which has one. Awesome!" Yes, it's a drive-through. The previous owner had a boat and he would store it behind the 3rd stall. It seems like a good idea, but that door...

    Harbor Freight 440lb Electric Hoist - Leaving Hardtop up

    Thanks!! It needs a little tweaking, but it works pretty good. That's my third stall and it has doors on both ends, so it's a drive thru. That lift system is nice as you can hang the top underneath and store the freedom panels above.
