It was basicaly 2 post, 1 bolted to the front bumper and one bolted to the rear one. Basically, the kayak was...

    2005 Rubicon LJ

    For me, major draw back is that it is a pain to play with the soft top with a roof rack. As to be emptied before lifting to place or remove top. I'm a soft top kind of guy because I can easly remove it. But would like to have a simple system cause awning support and canoe/kayak hauling made...

    A Decision on Heavy Duty Sliders and Slide-Out Drawer Options

    The locking and non locking are exactly the same lenght and strenght. They might not open like a house high end silent drawer slide, but they are very sturdy. The locking system is a small lever at the tip of the slide. In my case, I place the tip or the lever flush with the drawer so it...

    The Reality of Handling Trailers in the Back Woods

    Kitchen Kit/Chuck Box

    I do agree with all the up rated estimate. You might have a big surprise with just an hour in planing. Of course he can make it happen at 120,00$ / hour, but i dought that the hours are accurate. I think I would ask him for a max price. Cause once he begin, you might not like the final price.
