Thanks for the link. It confirmed my suspicions of having to go through the interior. It's all coming out this week (Spring Break fun) to repair the sunroof mechanism and route a hot water line. I have an idea to create a rack using the existing rails that I'll fabricate over the break as well...

+1 on what's been said, with an endorsement on the Gen III. Being an avid follower back in the day of the Paris/Dakar when it actually went there, I became a fan of the Gen III, and, granted what remains factory in that competition is minimal, the performance and durability of the Gen III's...

Thank you. Great tip on inflating the spare.

No question on the shovel, though the one I had did the job. The sledge was indispensable. I've considered drag chain and straps as an alternative... one of many thoughts crossing my mind that night, but I'm going for a winch. A question for you, how did you remove your factory rack?

There's a space we occupy as adventurers nestled between won't-it-be-great-when and this-is-it. It's an active tense of real versus ideal, a place we spent some time in over last weekend on what started out as a three-hour tour to The Barracks that turned into an overnighter in the steep canyon...

Some reading that talks about how solid.

For my ordering with RR, ARB was part of the issue. RR shipped the sliders in a timely way, two weeks, and the product is stout and crafted. Then ordered the bull bar and OME HD which got caught up in shipping and a billing fiasco, so I cancelled the bull bar and re-ordered the OME, waited three...

My RTT is more compact, an Oasis II, but it allows room on both sides of the Thule load bars for Hull-a-Port racks. One is shown here with an awning on the other side. I could drop the awning below the bar and add another pair of racks. The Oasis is only 39 lbs, giving me some weight real estate...

Will do. Thank you.

In the meantime, an interior mod. We use a topo map application loaded on an iPad on our trips and have wanted to mount it. I use the iPad everyday so I needed a way to be able to install and remove it easily, which won't be often since we'll just be using it on the trail. The other criteria to...

Yeah, me, too. Life and four kids in college have a way of back-burnering this project. I ordered the OME kit last year and after SIX MONTHS of waiting I cancelled the order. I'll try again this May and am open to suggestions on where to order. Rocky Road left me hanging on the ARB bull bar as...

Thank you for your great build thread. You've inspired and taught me.

This relates more to the "on" part versus the "in" part of this thread. We camp and sleep comfortably in this Oasis II RTT. At 39 pounds, it's no burden, deploys in moments and warm and cozy. It's small enough to accommodate additonal loads on the Thule racks. We've configured it a...

Try as I might, I can't find dimension specs for a Smittybilt 2801 winch plate. Length? Thanks.

ImNoSaint's thread. Been away for a bit, but back to the build soon.

Love my '03 Limited, shortcomings not withstanding such as poorly engineered middle seat release and collapse mechanism (easily fowled), a failed sun roof mechanism, and poor mileage. It's virtues outweigh the vices for us in that it's never failed us in precarious traction and control...

Buffalo burger? Thanks for the views.

I'd appreciate seeing this. I was going the ARB route but after seeing a custom winch application done by a local shop in a 4X magazine, I'm thinking to keep things on the stealth side and build an application within the stock front facia.

Sorry to hear. I did read your offer and were we closer I'd be taking you up on it. I'm looking to do the same.

Curios what you replaced the Gen 3 OE wheels with.
