Looks strong, ATH! The only suggestion I have is to see if you can get a hitch pin through the hole in the receiver. It looks like maybe close clearance, but maybe it's just the angle of the pic. |

I actually found some bushing ends (thanks LF) that fit and drove it today for the first time with them installed. Noise is gone.

Helped out a nice old man who bought some lights for his JK not realizing they were designed to be mounted to a surface and not a stud. They're remote controlled and on servos to rotate up/down/left/right. He seemed pretty stoked on how they came out

Custom work for a customer from Utah who is driving out to pick up 'one of everything'. The ladder will also have a bracket added to it to double as a mount for a small outboard motor. He will be modifying one of my racks to accommodate a small aluminum boat too.  Kick up sliders done. First order I've actually had for them since I started offering them a year ago haha. Everybody gets the flat sliders with the full length dimpled fillers.

Myke wrote: What do you charge for the bumper with the ladder & tire carrier I think the shipping cost might be a deal breaker on the ladder part, but I can measure and check for you. That was more of a 'one off' for a customer who is picking up locally. If you're really interested shoot me a pm with your address and I can run the shipping cost/build cost with you. Here is a link to the rear bumpers for info on them: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=84379 |
