Let's get this thread started:

 

I installed the nerf bars today. I'm having some trouble with the passenger side being slightly higher in the back for some reason. I'm not sure what is going on. I'm going to completely reset it sometime soon and see if I can get it into a better position. It could be bent from shipping or something and I just didn't notice it before.

I also received the curt receiver in the mail so that should go on soon.

 

Receiver came in and they included a hitch pin and a cover.

 

Husky X-Acts came in so I "installed them". Dunno why the pictures came out weird but the seats are black and the mats are black.

 

Needs more bullshit:

 

I have been thinking about buying those steps. How do you like them?

 

Those Husky mats look nice. Had any issues with the passenger side sliding like the OEM floor mats?

 

I love them. I did have the issue with the passenger side not setting right and haven't been able to adjust it yet. I'll report back when I do but other than that they have been great. The build quality is impressive for the price range.

 

Thanks! No issues yet. It's only been a few days but they are snug. They do come with the clip you can screw into your carpet. I chose not to unless they become an issue. I hear it's a small hole too that can be massaged back to cover it if you ever remove them.

 

Installed the @salex organizer. Great product! Can't wait to order the tray to go with it.

 

Welp trying to figure a way to haul the kayaks etc. without doing a roof rack. Trying to decide between bed bars or a bed rack. Narrowed it down to these so far, unless I decide to wait it out for a full height bed bar offering if it ever comes from any of the vendors.

1. KB Voodoo Bed Rack w/ adapters for the tonneau cover use.




2. KB Voodoo Bed Bars




3. Mobtown Bed Bars

 

I like the looks of the KB Voodoo bed rack. I've seen some favorable reviews on TW and YouTube. I'm thinking of adding to support a RTT and other trail supplies

Anyways, I think the rack offers more options for you down the line. More attachment points for other accessories and supplies vs the bed bars. But, I have purchased items from Mobtown and found their products are top notch, and customer service is amazingly good.

 

I agree. And honestly the only thing holding me back from the rack is the price. It would be around $760 shipped versus the bars are around $360 shipped.

Well I guess two things because the fact it's a 4x2 4cyl I'll never wheel is a factor too. The rack would look badass but I'm never going overlanding in this thing. At most it is just for the bikes and kayaks. And the bed bars could accommodate those or I could add a hitch for the bikes.

The $400 would get me quite a few extra mods. But then again the rack is so badass looking.

The turmoil continues lol.

 

Hey....Wallbright....got a pic of that receiver step mounted?

 

Unfortunately not yet. I'll post a picture when I do. I haven't installed the hitch receiver yet. I went to do it this weekend and it was raining.

 

When you do....post up.

Been thinking about a step/bumper-like thing to stick in my hitch.

 

Will do! Im eager to install it all.

 

Installed the tonneau and did the front air dam delete.

Some time in the next few days I hope to have time to install the hitch receiver.

 

Installed the hitch receiver and the beaver step. The hitch tightener did not fit the step as it does not stick out enough in the shaft part to hook on. That was a bummer. I rigged it up with some electrical tape and it is still slightly wobbly but only when I'm stepping on it. Only time will tell.

I also bought some hose washers to put onto the hitch lock. Looks goofy, works great though.
