Screw that im over that fj in the back

 

He's in and out of service right now but Monday he came up to my place and said there wasn't very much noticeable difference in drivability or gas mileage. He also never really keeps track either lol. I'm interested to see what he says after putting some milage on them

 

Also before he lost service he told me about some pretty awesome stuff that went down today but I'll let him tell you guys about that

 

Yea they good, no complaints.

 

What cap are you using?
And, how's it holding up with the RTT and storage up top?
I'm thinking of going this route for more and dryer storage in the bed.

 

Sorry for the lack of return PMs if you have messaged me.
I've been in and out of phone service for four days and just rushed home to deal with some heavy stuff.
I'll be replying shortly.

Its a Leer 100r. Holding up well with RTT in my opinion. I have some cracking on the inside the rear back corner of the cap just above driver taillight. I believe its not due to the overall weight but due to a couple bad moves I have made thinking I was doing good. Before RTT I had an aluminum roof basket made that ended up being heavy because of the steel flooring on it. Prior to that I picked up some thick camper foam tape to absorb the weight. I floor jacked the cap and swapped thin foam tape for the thicker tape. Set cap down and went about my day. A while later I realized the cap was not seated well, the areas one the taillights seem to be 1/2-3/4" off the bed rail. I thick when I jacked it, it sprung out and when I reset the cap the thicker foam made the cap close a side on the bed rail and they went outwards. This has been bothering me for a while now. Need to jack it up again, go back to a flatter foam tape, and have two people push on driver and passenger sides as I set it back down. The crack I found after my Canada trip, which was several days of 20-40mph on trail. So I believe the offset of the cap created a crack at a weak point. I still use it as is with no further issues. But the crack may get worse if I don't correct it soon. I personally love my cap, I always say their are way more pros to cons.

 

Thanks brother. One more question. The rack is Prinsu?

 

I have Prinsu over the cab and DIY bars over the cap.

 

That's right I remember now.
Thank you sir

 

New Hampshire Bound!

 

Safe travels my friend.

 

Thankyou.

Forgot to skewp swap for driving in the snow. Set it a touch more than 90*.

 

Could you show me some of your setup for GPS/Nav? I am thinking of a tablet setup to go along with my TechDeck.

Also, I might be copying your CB setup! mine is currently in my arm rest, and I cant hear it that well.
