Love the prox locks, remote start, tow package, and the heated seats and steering wheel. The heater itself is amazingā¦within 60 seconds of ignition it is an absolute blast furnace. My wife told me to figure out how to install ambient heat on the passenger dash grab bar - let me know if any of...
Finally found time to complete the wiring and get these things operational!

Only took 4 months to finally find time to complete the electrical work on this side mirror project, but got it done this weekend (wiring was a tedious pain in the ass, but Iām happy with the result). Courtesy light underneath (operates in-sync with the dome light at unlock), turn signals, Baja...
Is not the nuthouse @obwahn is always welcoming people to, but these folks have some sweet trailers (pricey, but sweet).

Well done - looks great so far! I like that it spreads the load by seating the rail within the 5ā length of each gutter (unique vs other options on the market I think) as well as the vertical supports connecting to the rear bumper. I may have missed it in the pics but are there any clamp...
Out for a cruise around town today and came across this old rust-colored CJ5. Not sure about the seat covers or radio setup, but gotta love the hoola girl, billiard ball shift knobs, black powder crate for storage, and especially the scrap wood tailgate with router cut insigniaā¦great details!
Cheap leds from Amazon: Partsam 3/4ā smoked lens white led marker grommet light for the puddles (same light but in amber for the front-facing markers that will tie in with the fog lights). Theyāre not super bright like a set of rock lights, but good enough to see the side steps and any puddles...
Unfortunately not sure on the exact size. SInce the signal lights annoyingly didnāt come with screws, I had to just rummage through my workbench ājunk drawerā to find 4 random small (maybe 3/8ā or 1/2ā long) pan-head philips wood screws that worked.
Finally got the new caps and turn signals on, and expanded the project a bit with some Baja S2s, amber marker lights below the Bajas, and white markers under the mirror as a puddle/courtesy light. Hardware installed today, still need to wire it all up.
Swapped out the side mirror caps with the OEM export version to add signal lamps, and may have gotten a little carried away with the additional lighting. Hardware installed today, wiring still to be done. Baja S2 combos to light up the side blind spots will be controlled by aux3, 3/4ā smoked...
Yep, JLU. For sure, extra bar(s) would work well with the hardtop to increase stability of the boat. I mostly run my soft top during the parts of the year when Iād have the canoe out. The 2 bar Exposed Racks is the only soft-top option Iāve come across so far that does what I need, short of...
Agreed, no concerns at all about the rack or gutters supporting the weight. I just prefer (with my 17ā canoe) to have additional tie-down points at both the bow and stern as a little added insurance to keep the boat from wanting to twist or shimmy at highway speed.
I run this same setup to carry my canoe, except I use a hitch mount Reese canoe loader. The pivoting top crossbar on the loader makes it easier to load (I would think) than the fixed crossbar of a bed extender. Iāve got a set of Exposed Racks that are gutter mount with the hard top, and Iāve...
