And I wouldn't trust a tire carrier in the hitch without the upgrade mounts, I've seen too many pictures of those bolts ripping out because a spare tire bouncing around. I was the person who convinced him to even start making the custom mounts that tie in down the frame rail. I was the Guinea pig. They didn't fit perfect and I had to do some modifications, but it was worth it. Grabs the holes for the hitch, and all the holes on the back.

Haven't updated in a while, but heres the recent projects.

Roof rack is almost done. I'm mounting 1 3x3 LED cube on each corner. Used the JCR fab roof rack mounts and they work great so far!




Also got crafty and made my own ashtray switch panel. Took all of 15 minutes to cut out a piece of plastic and drill some holes. I'm mounting a blue seas fuse panel in the engine bay and wiring everything to it also.

Roof rack is finally done! Coated with rattle can bed liner. Was able to spend just about $100 for everything. Haven't wired the lights up yet. Does anyone have any tricks of how to run the wiring into the engine bay?

Mine has a hole drilled in the roof with a rubber grommet. I have never had any issues leaking so i can personally say it works great!
