North East CraigsList finds

awesome. thanks!

 

Lol. I got a great deal on mine. It was color matched, carpeted and had roof racks. I picked it up in Indiana.

 

Those flip up windows are the best!!!!!! Love mine!!

 

Pros and cons to both, I honestly wish I could have both.

 

What are the cons? I have zero knowledge. Thanks.

 

I had a silver cap that matched my truck w/o racks. I bought thule racks and bars on Amazon for like $400 or something. Then found this MGM cap for $500 w/ racks. Returned the stuff to amazon and sold my cap for $600. I got paid to have the racks..only thing is I have an MGM cap on silver truck which doesn't look horrendous. Point being, yes..it's usually cheaper to find the cap w/ racks on it.

 

I think it depends. I've been searching and posting caps on for idk how many years now, but the avg price I'd say for a cap with racks is around $600 in good condition. If you can score a cap for $200 or under, and add the racks yourself, you can come in under that $600. Rhino makes a whole rack system for like $350, Thule is a bit more, or you can buy a used system.

I will say, best deal I saw so far (years ago) was a reinforced cap with racks and windoors, front folding window, all for $400. I think it was for a long bed, or else it'd by on my truck right now haha

 

Anyone able to pick this up for me a hold it till I get back to east coast on the 25th. I am current out in NM doing training before deployment...

 

Hmm post in the NE classifieds!? I don’t have time to get it or a place to store it, but I’m sure someone can help!

 

They have a higher chance of breaking due to fatigue, won't last as long unless properly maintained.
Much more maintenance, cleaning inspection.
Protecting the line when it's out on the ground, cuts can happen on rocks and trees.
Less travel off of the whinch, need at least 8 wraps at least where as cable is only 4.
There are probably more you should look it up.
I run synthetic line for the weight and manuverability.

 

We've got lots of folks around that can assist. Have you contacted the seller?

Shit - if worst comes to worst I'll pull my flippac and go get it for you myself.

 

Thanks Rick. Weight would be my biggest concern. I am only running 6112s up front and those coils are only 600lb or thereabouts. I wish they were 700lbs. Once I add an armored bumper and a winch something may have to change up front.

 

Pretty sure you can have the coils swapped, if I'm not mistaken @Subway4X4 is/was running 6112s with 700lb coils.

 

Thanks SEB! It's a long way down the road but nice to know I have options.

 

im in Bethlehem I could

 

Possibley. Where are you located?

 

You can run King coils. Wheelers offers them

 

do the 6112 require pigtail bottom springs if so, no the kings wont work they are flat bottom springs

 

Thank you Jason, kinda might be the direction since I might also upgrade to their bumps.

 

No. I don't believe so.
