    Its been on my short list of mods for a while. I'm only concerned about some of the people who have said their windshield cracked from having something like that...

    “Something like that” is the key point. The imitators added RAM balls and other fix points to theirs to spice it up and they caused the failure. I bought mine when it was the first gen and he sent me the second gen model at no cost. About then the copycats turned up and windshields started busting.

    If you buy it and hate it, I’ll buy it off of you.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    So far... It looks the same as it has since I bought the truck . It needs replaced because it’s ugly (but 100% functional) as you can see in the pic. The coating is peeling, but no more after installing the EZ down and tweaking the cable.

    Good to hear. Maybe it's time to see if I can make a similar adjustment and see if I can get it to work without tearing up the cable. Thanks!

    The same shit everyone else has.
    It took a ton of tweaking to finally get the cable to sit tight and not bind. But if you bend the eyelets like I did, it helps a ton

    I'm 6'4" 250lbs and have no problems with the seat as it is from the factory. I also drive about 25000 miles a year. So a good bit of seat time. Like was said though, "every body is different" and maybe I'm just used to ducking!

    Built a frame cross bar to mount limit straps to. That’ll get burned in Friday when the adjustable clevis mounts arrive.

    Lots of threads on here about it. Pretty much just need some headlights, and what ever retrofit you want. A lot of people do the morimoto d2s, but I'm doing a mini h1 for cost reasons. i might be building my other lair of headlights up to sell.

    I will! I just painted the amber corner reflector and the turn signal plastic piece in night shade by VHT so its black looking and will still let enough light through. Shouldnt be a problem with my LED turn signals
