I was inspired to start this build by this forum after countless hours of reading and forming my own opinion. My initial intent was going with an LS but I just couldn’t convince myself that is the route I needed to go. My intent behind this thread is document some design decisions, mistakes...

You are not alone, I purchased my hi-lift before I ever read up on them, saw all the jeeps in my area with them, and automatically concluded I needed one, so I gifted it to myself since a winch was out of budget at the time. Now I have a winch, but my jack still sits on the driver's side...

Hello, woodmaster, I have done it many times and in many different vehicles and areas along OBX, most recently in my TJ a few weeks ago, on Carova Beach(free off-season). I like going off-season due to it being mostly dead and easy to find hug spans of beach just for you. In the summer, be...

You can add me to round 3 as well. Don't care about the timing as this falls into the don't need but why wtf not category.

I did the same thing you did. Was upfront about the error, at the end I sold it and it didn’t cause me any issues. I think your are fortunate the market is what it is right now otherwise it would probably be a bigger issue.

You can file a claim with CARFAX. I had the issue happen last year just as I was about the sell my car. Car fax responded and assigned someone to investigate within days… 8 months later I still haven’t heard anything back, although I did sell the car and not sure if that played a part.

I agree, this is the one thing I wasn't expecting, I matted the rocker panels thinking that area would be concealed by the Bedtred and was surprised it didn't cover that area. Doesn't bother me much, but it was something that surprised me when I first installed it.

I don’t have a comparison experience like you but I was looking for a something that didn’t hide dirt( it was my concern with bedrug) and allowed for easy cleanup of beach sand and other misc crap. I actually like it a lot and don’t regret it, it met my expectations.

I did similar. Took care of my rust issues and matted it. Instead of bedrug I used BedTred since I wasn’t looking for the rug look.

Wow…

Finally fixed my SRS light. Passenger airbag switch “Off” light was burnt. Didn’t have a bulb so ended up soldering a resistor to test it and it worked. It’s staying that way until I come across the appropriate bulb.

Posting this simply because it's my screensaver. Love the memories from that day....and yes that is baby emergency gear equipment in the back.. a stroller and car seat. The backside of Daniel at Uwharrie

It's possible, it will require fab-work and money, not sure it's cheaper to sell and buy a new one with prices the way they are right now but it's worth taking stock of how much work you are willing to put into it and how much downtime you are willing to deal with. I came across the same issue...

Edit. I actually run this run.. my mistake... https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500ILX407/Alpine-iLX-407.html
