I agree. Looks odd, but I've haven't run into any issues (that I can see from the driver's seat). The issue I have with my headlights is that I replaced them with LEDs and the increased height of the Jeep and the brighter LEDs annoys oncoming drivers and I constantly get flashed by them...
Installed the Fab Fours bumper but didn’t like seeing the steering components and those two bolt holes on the frame. Couldn’t decide on a skid plate option. So I dremeled a couple of notches in the old cover plate, painted it dull black and put it back on.
Fab Fours stubby bumper. Fit was perfect, but Jeep’s inconsistent front bumper holes made me have to drill one out. Some have complained that the packaging didn’t hold up to the shipping. I used the ship to store from 4wheelparts in case that happened. But, the bumper was in great...
I looked for a long time at various muffler options, but couldn’t really see a lot of benefits. So I spent $10 on spray paint and at least made it disappear.
I did this today. Pretty easy. You can easily put cardboard on the top of the muffler and work around with an 1x1 over spray piece in your non spray hand. You get a lot better at it. I cleaned the muffler and then took some high grit sandpaper to it. Then cleaned again. Then hug heat primer...
Added the Metalcloak spare tire carrier. Good product, solid and tire does not rattle or move. Good welds. All parts were included and fit exactly like it was designed. No third brake light solution. But I added the Oracle spare tire brake light at the same time. Instructions were really...
I emailed several dealerships looking for a black Honda Pilot with a beige interior. One emailed back with a list of options and the price that was fair.
We show up at the dealership. I see the closing statement. Not the price we had seen before. Added some BS dealer options. Protection...
It’s a lot of work. Some hidden screws. Good videos out there. Crutchfield will send instructions. So will Metra if you buy the boxes. They are slightly different. It’s a few hour process.
By far the best bang for the buck is replacing the speakers on the top of the dash.
Rain today so I had to put my top back on. So will measure when it comes off. But, it's as high as it will go because I don't want the ties to go into the anchor wheel on the corners of the hoist.
As an aside, when I put the top back on today it operated just like I thought it would - I got...
I didn’t have enough room to really maneuver around they Jeep when pulling or putting on the top or around the top when it was up in the air. So, I moved my hoist diagonally 15 inches. That meant I had to use 2x4s because I was not directly on the studs. I also moved the hoist mechanism to...
Has anyone installed this system with the hoisting mechanism to the side instead of the back? Seems like it would work fine.
I'm finding that the spare gets in the way of efficiently twirling the bar and I also cannot have the back window open and twirl the bar. Mine has to fit too close...
I looked for both of those in the secondary market, but couldn't find either one close to me. My first choice of the two was the blue because it was a little more mainstream, but still unusual.
I installed mine this weekend. I have not used it to take off the top yet because of rain. But, I put some heavy stuff on it as a test.
I would say it's pretty easy to install. Not quick, just complicated. There's a good amount of "play" in the components to make for an easy...
I really like the look of the Metalcloak carrier. I have their lift and it's completely solid. Great reputation in the industry.
I looked at this a while back and narrowed it to Rusty's and CavFab, but was waiting on some type of sale from Rusty's to pull the trigger.
This may be my new...
