  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I'd also scored a cheapie tailgate tent that hangs off the liftgate. I'll take my daughters to the beach on my weekends and we'll just pop the tent up and chill in the back. It's really fun.

The tent didn't ship with guywires or pegs, so that's why it looks so deflated here.

My most recent mod:
I've roughed in some jerrycan holders for a JK using L-tracks and rivnuts. They still need some adjustment, and I want at least two through-bolts per track that goes through all layers of sheet metal and are braced with washers and locknuts. The proof of concept definitely works, though. I also need to trim the horizontal brackets where I bent them out, repaint, and kerjigger some standoffs, because the plates do tough the glass occasionally.
