There’s no defect in the powder coat (to my knowledge) or functionality of the knob.
It’s mainly aesthetic things that may be typical of a “handmade” item like this. I’m no expert.
The logo is crooked and the etching(?) is misaligned (I’m assuming they do it twice). Makes me think I’m seeing...
I now realize that it was probably just a coincidence that I got a reply from AR. It wasn’t a direct email from a person, just confirmation that my knob was shipping (which is what I asked for in my communication through the website.) Maybe it was my request that triggered AR to ship of few of...
If you haven’t been getting responses via direct email, try sending a ticket through their website’s “contact us” link. I’m sure it goes to the same inbox, but might flag it higher priority. I got a response that way today. Make sure to include your order number. Good luck everyone!
I emailed pit crew on Sunday and got this response on Monday about my white bread order.
“We are still waiting for the reverse lockout. The machine has been tied up. Once they are machined we will have them cerakoted and then shipped out at the end of this month or early July.”
Plywood is a great option. Could even make it 2 pieces for easy installation and modularity. I just roll a thick rubber utility mat when I’m not using the dog bed or need to transport stuff from the hardware store.

It’s about 35” from the roof, but you’d lose another 6” directly under the roll bar. I can’t say for sure the case is better than a custom wood platform. I have considered building one, but for now I’m happy knowing that I can convert to original. I also like the ruggedness...
I don’t have actual specs for that, but these cases are made out of heavy duty Polypropylene. Extremely rugged in my experience. I’ve thrown cinder blocks and bags of gravel on it without any problems. It’s a semi-permanent part of my vehicle as I have it strapped down and locked to the mounting...
The exterior dimensions are 38.47 x 16.42 x 6.14 in. So, I think it’s about 1.5 in. taller than the seats with those seat back protectors I have on. Here’s the link to my tonneau cover build https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/diy-tonneau-cover.82174/post-2059280
@LastDeadLast one of my favorite additions to date. I chose the 1700 Protector Long Case because it sits a little more flush with the back seats, but it’s more expensive. I just throw down a rubber mat when I need more grip.
I’d be surprised if you could only use the lockout one way with the tab. I actually think @EIGHTLUG said you could engage it a few different ways earlier on in the thread.
There are the 3 car seat mounting points on each seat, headrest posts, and, of course, the hardtop bolts. I add soft tie down loops to each one for easier access.
Can someone show me what “cheap interior plastic” looks like compared to the expensive stuff?
I’m not concerned about scratches; I throw cinder blocks and 2x4s in the back, so I expect scratches.
Does it sound different while driving? Easily crack? Fall apart?
