That was my prognosis. Owning a 98+ I have short rails, so I guess I'm still up that certain creek without a means of propulsion.

Omc is similar to a set I thought about making except I'd have it a little higher.

DOHH shoot! I was under the misguided impression that you were an Olympic 4x4 employee (a completely differant company) I did not realize you worked for Olympus, my bad. You all make a seriously nice product, love my zeus headlamps. lol I was referring to the pos on amazon as a kinda template per-say so if you drop it mid build and she sputters her last dying breath to you on the shop floor no biggie (they are fairly heavy I've heard.)

While were on the subject. Whats the deal with manufacturing, are they in house,or contracted in china. Any info?



On a totally unrelated thought it would also be serendipitous to come inside the cab on this thread and confer about the opposite side of the A pillar and how they are relatively bland. Any two bit JK owner has a factory grade plastic panel the replace the one on the pillar and houses like five rocker switches. Anyone have expertise here on existing/ making one.

We use generic Chinese housings but us internals, if you Google xj switch panel it should come up with good results. I know that a couple companies offer one that goes where the ashtray is.
