In Hot Pursuit

looking good! i like thethirdtwin, but thecopcar with white hood made people hit the brakes when they saw you

Rolling the back windows down so the Mollie bars are visible doesn’t hurt either.

Eureka!

Third time’s the charm for ditch light brackets for thethirdtwin. Third vendor’s product actually is correct for this rig. A little bit of travel rash, but THEY FIT.

I’m not sure what that last picture is looks like some kind of radio equipment and some long poles but it definitely looks like a project. I look forward to seeing it in person I’ll be out on the trail starting Friday if all timing goes correctly getting the new off-road trailer either heading to Overland Expo west or the high desert get together with @coyoteWorks and @adventureswithRoscoe. Then I’m heading south along the Heading to Northern California area.

Lol. There’s at least 3 projects in the photo. Main item is the unassembled roof rack.

 

[UgotWheelz]

Oh OK I can see that now yeah I finally got my roof rack installed on my jeep only to find out that no commercially available hardware fits it which means I can’t mount anything on it I also went to every single over landing shop in Oregon and none of them wanted to help me because I don’t drive a jeep wrangler Subaru cross track Toyota Tacoma or jeep gladiator. Hopefully your rack project is more fruitful then my disaster.

That roofrack is going to be sweet. The build is really coming along.

 

[Sparksalot]

Yay, this is fun. Getting ready to fondle some airbags.

The camera captured more light than my eyes did. I finished the last two bolts by flashlight.

I’m really interested in this roof rack but not interested in removing the headliner and drilling holes.

Depends on your vehicle about the headliner. Thecopcar is all from above using nutserts. GM changed the mounting to nuts from below for the K2 generation. Grrr.

Better pic. I ventured an entire 200 yards out of the driveway.

I also mounted some maxtrax to the rack so I can say im a “real” overlander now.

Drove some yesterday, the wind noise at 60 was really noticeable. I slid the deflector closer to the roof, plus added the trim piece.

Got out in it today. That slight position change also made a positive difference in XM radio reception. Plus much less wind noise.

 

[Sparksalot]

Wired up the rear lights today. Hopefully I’m done removing interior pieces for a while.

 

[Sparksalot]

Yesterday was chase lights. So today must be Rome. Er, ditch lights.

 

[Sparksalot]

Headlights only, then both.

and some demon thing.
