You betcha'! I can't imagine someone not wanting you on the team!

 

I really like RCI racks. I like the multi purpose mounting options of it, but at the same time i like the camper protection and security.

 

I think trail gear makes that diff cover

 

What are the odds of the actual axle being punctured by a rock as opposed to just a diff cover

 

It depends on your needs.

I started with a Softopper to experience camper life, but I didn't like the reduced blind spots.

I then went to bed bars and mounted a rooftop tent and i love it.

I realised that off-road, like rock crawling, the added weight up top kinda sucks, but not that bad. I also realised I like the protection for my camping gear that the Softopper provided, but I liked the RTT.

My ideal setup would be a Softopper, running safari-mode 90% of the time, with a bed bar setup that good over it and allows for it to all be folded. I'm already stuck in my setup, because of budget.

 

It's not like a Chevy, man. When your diff gets punctured, is game over for the rear axle.

 

That's actually what i had been thinking about my perfect world set up. Either a shell or softopper with a bed rack around it I haven't been able to find an exact set up nor a bedrack that could fit over one. Maybe i haven't searched hard enough.

 

I am designing a rack to go ver my camper. I can send you pics when I get into the office in the morning

 

Man that would be awesome! I take it you weld quite a bit?

 

I guess when you lose your diff fluid then all it is is metal against metal a lot of bump and grind lovemaking going on in there

 

A little

 

Haha. I would definitely be interested in what you are designing.

 

Less replaceable exterior axle parts on the rear. Once a hole is punched, generally it's game over for that entire axle.

He's basically a custom fabricator that does amazing work, but takes care of his bros lol. Maner is a wonderful person with amazing fabrication skills.

 

Nice! I wish i knew how to weld, i feel it could be very helpful lol

 

It really is, but there's a lot of guys here that can help you with it. (I'm not one of them lol)

 

Ha ha! @Acabsurf - the correct answer is "a lot". And like out of this world too. Check this,


Homemade, son!

 

Cashing in both of my chips folks!

 

Morning
