    Looking for the little cubby’s above the wheel wells inside the bed. Possibly the glove box too.

    I present to you, the first steel roof rack on a reg cab! I bought a Hooke Road double cab roof rack, cut it up, drilled some holes, and bolted it together. I drilled 8 holes in my roof, put in some rivet-nuts with sealant on both sides and bolted it down. I love it!

    Rigged up some limb risers! Still not sure what I think about them but they’re functional at the very least.

    I was busy catching up on the whole build. Just got here. So far I've learned about your third brake light :)thumbsup:), demolition derby :)fistbump:) and jeep headlights :)hattip:). You can insert the "expanding mind" meme here.

    Rack looks awesome! Looks perfect on the RC. I'm always impressed with RC mods. You guys have to DIY a lot of it due to limited aftermarket support. Kinda makes me wish I had a RC near me to take some measurements from. I'm slowly breaking into the 1st gen market because it seems a lot of companies have abandoned them.

    Well it’s different front and back actually. Where do you need measurements?

    It helped but it’s not completely gone. It probably doesn’t help that I have a bad bearing in the diff.
