    Yeah, not cheap. But inline with what high end 2” receiver racks cost. The product execution, ease of use and load/unload speed is second to none. I like to buy once and cry once, these are awesome.

    Home-built roof rack for spotting platform and/or kayaks & bikes & stuff. Home built bed drawers Firestone Ride-Rite airbags on the rear for level camp trailer towing
    Couple years ago I ran the lines for the Firestone Ride-Rite suspension bags up under the gas cover. The sheet metal bracket I'd bent to fit finally fatigued, so I whittled* away on a chunk of 3/4 square aluminum with my mill. Here's the result.

    * I say "whittle" rather than "machine" because I'm no machinist, more like a metal butcher. (I worked for a guy building houses that called himself a "Wood Butcher" - the name seemed fitting)

    Really depends on what you were shooting. Rifle ammo in a semi-auto with a large magazine will burn a hole in your pocket real quick.

    I ordered 5’x75’ (3 rolls). I have wrapped my motorcycle 3 times...this is by far the biggest “wrap” project I have done. Learning a lot. Made a few mistakes...but no one will notice unless looking for them. The 106* temps in Vegas are making it difficult because the film wants to set in as soon as I lay it down.

    I haven’t had a sway bar in a year and a half and I love it.... but then I also have tuned coils. Did the end links end up being your problem?

    If you have coilovers with adjusters, just turn them up when you get on the highway. That’s what I do and it kills nearly all the body roll and it feels less squirly
