Some of you may have seen my post in the Gen forum about needing to head of out town. I've been putting in a lot of hours trying to get some stuff caught up before leaving Friday. I haven't been able to answer a lot of calls, emails or PM's lately with all the fabrication I've been doing, so if you think I have ignored or overlooked you, I apologize.

OK here are the updates. Liberty owners are my only concern now. I have listed the rest of my Cherokee inventory up for sale, along with all of my Cherokee designs. I'm done with the XJ business for good. I was already done with that product line, but it was a tough decision to put the designs up for sale as well as I though maybe some day I would start them up again.

Troy has been working part time when he can, but will be full time real soon when he is done with the Army. I have some new tools to help production quality and speed, but need to get a few more. I hope to be getting into a bigger shop the beginning of November. Have some new products to work on, need more room for Troy and I to work several projects at the same time without getting in each other's way, several SFA swaps to do before Moab, front bumpers to work on, etc. So, here's the deal, I need a bigger shop and another welder, top priorities for the business right now to make thing move more efficiently. I need your help. Here is the incentive, and the FREE part. All the slider orders that are currently on my desk and you are just waiting for us to finish them, your shipping is FREE. If you order a set of sliders by October 26, your shipping is FREE. Gecko HD roof rails, shipping is FREE. FREE shipping is for continental US only. If you are outside the Continental US, I will deduct $50 from your shipping costs on the sliders, and $30 on the HD rails.

Rear bumper orders. I finally got the parts in from my manufacturer. I am still waiting on a few other little parts so I can get started on them. I changed the carrier spindle design a little, which required some custom machine work, which is going to be really cool.

New stuff. Troy and I worked a couple of really late nights to squeeze in a few things that needed to get done a long time ago. One of them was the rear jerry can carrier for the bumper that many have been waiting to see. I had some ideas for it, then Troy had to go and throw another idea in the mix by saying I should make a highlift carrier for his as he didn't want/need a jerry can carrier, then we brainstormed some more and I got to thinking I could have a jerry can carrier, and a highlift/ammo can carrier, and we came up with a highlift/jerry can carrier, but it can be used to carry other things as well if a jerry can isn't used.

Sorry about the dark pictures, like I said, we worked late.

Image
Image

Ammo can
Image

Other uses:
CO2 tank
Image

Handyman's vice
Image

Need some backup lights?
Image

Long drive and tired of the kids' noisy toys?
Image
Image

Need somewhere to put a muddy pomeranian because the wife thought it would make a good trail dog?
Image

OK, it was late, and we got a little silly, but we had a few other good ones to add to the list.

Many of you have seen the Gecko HD replacement roof rails and the sport rack. We threw together the basket rack a few weekends ago. Still needs a few little things like light tabs and the rear catch bar, but pictures and prices are on the website now. Here are a couple:

That's pretty much it right now.

You guys crack me up. Man, the things we would have seen if you'd worked another hour that night..........

Great addition to product that was already super well made. And taking care of your customers. you're good people.

Hmmm.....I think if they had another hour of work, they would have put the wife or kids on the back of that thing.

Two thumbs up for Marty.

That rack and tire carrier are sweet. If I wasnt building a a XJ trail rig I would get one. Maybe when I am done building the XJ up, I'll sell it and focus back on my KJ. I am keeping the KJ till the wheels fall off as it will be paid for within the next 18 months.

The though did cross our minds :wink: .



As far as the Hi-lift/Jerry can carrier are concerned,it turned out,well,way beyond my expectations.It works really well,the Hi-lift does move at all when on.I didn't know what it would look like when I suggested it to Marty but it looks really good and I like it alot.Having both the Hi-lift and Jerry can on the same carrier worked out really great and with both carriers on really changes the look of the KJ,makes nonbelievers stop and think that the KJ may well be a tough little offroad machine(which we all now it already is).Lots of long(late night) hours to get it done,there is just so much little things on them that take so long,but the end result is amazing.

Marty and I will be hitting everything that is already ordered will full force after he gets back,just don't want to rush to fast and not send out a quility product.Marty is a perfectionist and his products show it,well built and will take alot of abuse without failing.

No Marty does not need a KJ, if he did then he would have to make stuff for his own and Troys and would hold up stuff for the rest of us! :lol: Can you imagine if he had the time and his own KJ what he could do with one seeing what he has already came up with

I will admit, I told Marty to go wake Stacey up and put her on there.... I didn't say to tell her what for though...

Hope you enjoy your time with your family.
You do great work. And that Gecko rack one sweet looking thing, but the front bumper has been in prototype mode for a while any updates on it?

Wow. Just wow. That whole concept has got to be just about the most complete bumper setup I've ever seen on anything. Marty, you're gonna make a LOT of money off me over the next few years, as long as you stick with the Liberty aftermarket anyway.

Marty,

I know my sliders are coming and I understand why you have not been able to contact us individually (I did prod a bit via email) but I am cool with what you are doing. Free shipping is great --- but we still want you to make enough to stay in business!

Enjoy your time off!!!

Ed
