Appreciate all the input. I have no idea what to expect which is why I bought a second top so if it all goes to hell then I’m only out a few hundred bucks. Sleeving the bolt is a good idea, any links to something like that? I can picture it but…
Moab is amazing. Been going annually for nearly a decade, spent more time in Ouray area last year but would love to move out there one day.
Appreciate the motel suggestion, we usually camp remotely but grab a hotel a couple times per trip and always look for local places instead of chains and...
Wow, 800lbs of cargo, impressive! Was it gold bars? LOL
Yeah I’m aware of the weight limitations but don’t see me ever having 100lbs up there, but who knows. I also plan to use backing plates on the interior to spread the weight out of an abundance of caution due to the material make up of the...
Understand the thought process, but there’s a few turn offs for me with that idea. Cost, weight, noise and functionality. I’m also impressed you managed to get 300lbs up there without noticeable squat! Trip pics look great too. I typically follow the keep it simple, stupid mentality and like...
I picked up a second hard top with plans to bolt a custom roof rack setup for carrying gear on. Before I just drill some holes and go to town I figured I’d get some input from the collective mind here as I didn’t have any luck searching. Thanks in advance!
That’s the factory rack with J-hooks for the kayaks, works great. And that’s exactly what I do with it, it’s a nice weather toy and hauls my homebuilt camper great. Main reason I went with the 2.7 and it still gets 13-15 towing with kayaks on top. Camper weighs about 1500lbs.
Reach out to me when that time comes…my dad is retired in Florida and has talked about getting one just like mine, sounds like yours might be perfect for him.
bummer. Do the braces and clearance kit not work together or do one or both of them not work with this winch mount?
I’m this close to ordering the metal tech braces so now I’m doubting that decision…
I haven’t installed it yet but got a ceiling joist from Tie Boss for Christmas I’m looking forward to using. We have them for our kayaks too and I love that none of it takes any floor space in the garage.
Interested as I just bought winch and am deciding on what mount for my modular bumper. Would like to see test pull videos. Also willing to be a guinea pig for a discount.
Has anyone installed this on a bronco that did NOT come with the modular bumper from the factory? I ask because the ford website says will only fit ones that came from factory, and mine did not.
