Judging solely on the pictures provided it almost looks like I could get away with only using half of the cart for my 2 door. The front doors would fit in the one opening, with the front hardtop panels stored on the outside, and the rear cap laying on top as pictured... :unsure:
I've been looking for a way to store the doors and roof panels this summer when not in use. I was initially thinking about building a DIY cart from wood as I've seen a couple of people here on the forums do. But I just ran across this option from Hooke Road and am now thinking this might be...
This looks like a winner for me! I have been searching jeep forums and found a few threads where people made similar carts out of 2x4s and casters. But for $600 I think I might just buy this instead. Thanks for sharing!
IMO, this seems like the best roof rack out there for the 2 door: Full rack that transitions to rear rack only, ability to remove tops with rack installed, and it seems extra sturdy compared to some others (double plates on front half of rack, and 2 mounts per side on rear cap). Nice work...
@illverado What is the distance between the holes on the plug mount? I am looking at purchasing the same Draw-Tite hitch and was hoping to mount this 7/4 Pin Plug on the bracket that comes on the Draw-Tite Hitch. The 2 screw holes on the top are dimensioned at 2 3/8" apart per the etrailer...
I was thinking the same thing. It would be ideal if the front feet and lightbar could stay attached to the front of the windshield. And then have the rear portion which is attached to the rear main cap also stay stationary (looks like this one does). Then the middle bars that attach between...
Ah, that makes more sense now seeing that image. That's definitely a very cool design, I might have to look into getting one of these if they decide to make a 2 door version... Thanks for clarifying!
Just saw this the other day, looks like it could be an interesting option compared to the current offerings. I'm not sure but it seems as if the back half can just be installed on the rear cap... Not sure what they mean by folding system for easy top removal...
The curt hitch doesn't have a place to mount the plug/connector on the back, you'd need something like this to mount it

Also looks like Mabett sells a copy of the oem Ford hitch that includes a mounting bracket for $100.00...
Correct, you would not get the reverse light wire feed using the curt 4 wire. My guess is that the Tekonsha wiring harness gets this from the tail light wiring somehow.
It looks like the current kit offered by Tekonsha for the 7-pin wiring is only designed for use with the LED tail lights... This could be remedied by using the Curt 4-pin wiring for the halogen lights...
This install does not provide the sway control or disable the BLIS like the factory tow option. To gain these feaures you would have to install the trailer tow module and reprogram the ECU with Forscan to remove the error codes generated. But it's been done before by @RoverDude and others as...
Good question! The mounting location for the draw-tite hitch seems to require the mounting direction generated by the bracket supplied with the Hopkins plug (bracket hanging down). If I was going to use the ford oem hitch, then I would go with the ford one (M2DZ-14A666-B)
I've been researching this a lot and this thread has been the easiest solution I've found so far to add an almost factory 7/4 pin tow package to the bronco, without having to use Forscan to reprogram things or remove all the interior trim panels. Based on everything I've read my plan is to buy...
I've been looking at the RakAttach 2.0, but you are the first person I've seen on the forum with one. It looks to be reversible to open either way, which I think is handy. Did you get the medium or large version?
