Haha, it's an Internet forum it has no chance of not happening. That being said, Hollywood feel free to delete this and my previous post if it needs to stay tidy.

No, just having fun with Capt Kirk, he complained about threads being hijacked. Every thread eventually goes sideways, like you said it's an internet forum. Document away Kirk, good luck with all your mods.
If you can please post a video of you backing up into your pickup. Thinking about it but for my 1500 ram. Thanks in advance
The Capt. has a long ways to go to catch Steveareno…..let the battle begin. Maybe there should be a thread where everyone documents their stuff…a sticky…sure would cut down on the sigs…lol.
luka 67; will do next time i load er up.
hollywood; i hear your phone ringing. i hear the TSA is looking for highjacker lol

The wife want wind protection so the next item will be the AC wind deflector then maybe a homemade windshield to add to that with ECM windshield mounting kit. I need a source for hard coated lexan.
then will be AJ fender extensions and roof and maybe a back window.
I will need a winch before spring.
A full array of lights for summer night running. nothing more fun than blasting through the desert at night while its still 95 degrees outside.
I found Hyundai wheels are 4 x 115mm I am going to the junk yard soon and get a set of wheels and tires so the wife can run down all the senior citizens on their golf carts on her was to the store. that way i can save the dirt tires for the fun and not wear them out on the street.
Lighted license plate bolts and mounting my old motorcycle horns to add to the mirror to keep the fuzz off my tail.
Then will be 2" spacers, better studs, 14" bead locks and 30" tires for the rocks.
Something has to be done about the weak ass front sway bar it is kinda useless and has too much slack. My jeep had a sweet torsion setup with quick disconnects.
Maybe some full doors or filler panel. out last stip out my wife got sticker and thorns in her hip.
I want to make a bigger cargo bed so the dogs can ride back there without falling out. and I want something like the AC down bars but bolting them to plastic seems dumb. I want to build my own bumpers and add to the roll cage to be more square in the back.

Thats all i can thing of so far.
highjack away

and Merry Christmas.

looking good!

Let me know if u find any good sources for hard coated/abrasion resistant lexan!
i like the hinged/wide bi-fold ramps to avoid the tilting of the separate ramps if slightly off...especially when backing up...my old neck doesn't like that far of a neck turn...haaaaa

I agree, a support between the 2 ramps would be nice, or a spotter who would say STOP!

hey, i resemble that! haaaaaaa
the convoluted sig make the search feature just about useless
I got rid of my sig because the site told me it was too big. Funny thing was it was smaller than some other sigs i see these days. Oh well, makes me more mysterious haha.
I find the signature a usefull tool for directing questions to the members with the gear your interested in.
