Haven’t driven anywhere yet. But they look like they will be able to handle whatever I can throw at em. Curious about how the super duty spec valving will play out.

Just send it and find out

@revitupmoto33 question for you.
Did you weld a bracket in your rear driver control arm for the parking brake cable, or did you use something else to attach it to the arm ?

I forgot to weld a bracket on. Nothing fancy I have a zip tie holding it with a standoff.

I may look into upgrading the arms for a 3rd time. I'm just waiting to hear back from mevotech and see if they can refund me or send me new ones. Then I'll sell those, sell the Feedom ones and buy a set of Clayton or Metalcloack for the JT

Started on version 2 of the rear seat storage platform. This time I wanted the option to add bucket seats if needed and be able to interchange them with a platform that will hold a dog bed. Also wanted a platform with tie down points for the dometic.
This is what I came up with. Platform/bucket seat will work on either side.
Made a temporary electronics board to get me by till I come up with something else.

Thank you good sir

Your work is amazing. What bucket seats did you get for the rear?

 

[revitupmoto33]

@Truck Fun
It’s the smittybilt oem replacement for a Jeep. It’s the one closest to the dimensions I needed.

Made a hinged bracket and latch mechanism to allow the rear bucket seat to pivot forward

I just get all these ideas that pop in my head. Then try and figure out how to make it happen.

This one started out as, sure would be cool if the seat tilted forward.

Definitely optimized the bed space. Still A TON of room for things, albeit they fit under the tent. I like the ball thrower for the dog is a primary piece of gear as well.

Mounts look awesome. Did you use backing plates under the feet of the spare mount?
