    Installed the Pop and Lock handle for the tailgate. The install took 30 minutes but I added three coats of clear coat before install. The painted version from the factory appear to be a minimal layer of base coat.

    I just installed the ARB twin compressor using the awesome Slee off-road bracket. There are holes in the bracket behind the windshield washer reservoir to mount the ARB manifold too.

    Very nice kit.

    i dont have a write up, but its really really simple. I got the brackets that go with the panel and just attached those to the panel and then set it up on the roof on the aluminum angle where i wanted it. Mark the holes, drill it out and use some bolts and nylon lock nuts to tighten them down and that secures the panel to the pieces of angle. then i just marked the angle for the u-bolts near the cross bars and drilled those out as well.

    Here are a few more pics that might help explain it better than i can through writing.

    This one shows how the brackets attach to the angle

    shot of the underside of the panel showing how the brackets attach to it

    Heres one of the angle attached to the crossbars

    helped my dad moved some furniture and a TV. I'm hauling more often than I thought I would with it, so I think I'll do a transmission flush and change the diff oil at 50k (at 37k now).
