    Right now it's a little up in the air... I'm having thoughts of prototyping a whole new rack body that will accept all the stock parts, spool valve, rack bar, etc.

    Any updates on what came of your endeavors? R&D always takes A LOT more time and energy than we think it will lol.

    I know plenty of people are still interested!

    Count me in as well. There is still not a single solid option out there. The stuff Marlin Crawler is doing only works for LT.

    Yes and no, every time I look at it, well, I just don't see a way to keep the price where it needs to be.

    Hopefully you revive this at some point!

    I know there is another rack option on the market now cheaper than Solo and it’s bolt in.
    But always interested to see what else comes out.

    I really love @CGoss steering setup and need to figure out how to do the same on mine.

    My second gen with Lt and soon to be 37’s can barely steer in the street let alone the rocks
