Well, I hadn’t seen Baja Designs reply on here with their new instructions, but I just looked at them. They are almost laughable. You can do it their way if you like doing things the extremely hard way or just do it per my instructions and you’ll save yourself an hour or two. I have to remove...

Yeah I’ve seen that too. I would consider it if it were an inch or two shorter. That’s going to obstruct my view.

Just ordered a set for my SuperCrew in textured black powder coat. Thanks for the info, Hoosier!

That photo was taken after I removed a heavy strap in the front limiting forward travel. The LineX on top also generates a lot of grip when the load is tied down to it. I’ve seen their headache racks, not a fan. All I need is a short lip not a full rack.

Looking to improve front struts while keeping front lift the same, I’m very happy with the 2” lift in the front. I started out installed by installing the BDS 2” leveling kit, which gave me strut tower rebuild spacers for the front and some BDS NX2 nitrogen shock absorbers in the back. That...

I’m ordering the Shrockworks, with the step plates, same as HoosierT. I can’t imagine a better look/fit/functionality for what I want to use them for. I need something with step-up assistance for kiddos, but also doesn’t hang down lower than the frame, and mounts to the frame to provide real...

Just to round out this write-up, I thought I’d better finish describing the fix for the positive camber issue. I had to order aftermarket upper control arms to remedy the issue; I tried a couple professional (and locally recommended) alignment shops but we were unable to get the positive camber...

I can’t comment on a full ICON set-up, as I only installed the ICON tubular Upper Control Arms to primarily correct alignment issues after the installing the BDS 2” leveling kit (which consists of disassembling each strut, adding a spacer under the spring, reassembly, then add another thin...

Took a while for me to line-up a day off from work and an appointment with my alignment shop but I finally got the ICON tubular UCAs installed on the truck. My alignment shop was able to get the truck exactly where they’d like to see the caster/camber/toe. They were expensive ($750), but they...

Mine came in last week but I haven’t had time to install them, but probably after this weekend. I’ve been playing with a new toy the last couple weeks.

My tubular UCAs are “shipping at the end of June.” Maybe I’ll have them by the 2nd week of July if the snowpack on the mountain passes has melted enough to let the donkey-back freight to hit their scheduled delivery window (which is -1 day to +1month).

I have the new cover now, but I haven’t had a chance to remove and replace it. I took off the safety catch entirely so the front left locking rod would function as designed. The a good section weatherstripping was also damaged by ABF freight during delivery so replacing the cover entirely was...

Well, it sounds like I don’t have a problem to solve. Thanks!

I have the Diamondback HD cover. Love it! Every time I’ve driven it lately it has been in hard rain. Everything in the back is dry as a bone, even after leaving it in downpours at the airport for several days. And talk about secure, it would be far easier to break into the cab now rather than...

How did you pop out those markers? A trim tool from the front or releasing it from behind?

I still haven’t heard a peep from ICON regarding delivery of my tubular UCAs. How about you?

They work extremely well. I had ice tacking onto the wipers fast this morning and it popped into my head “I think I have heated wipers on this truck.” All you have to do is manually press the rear defroster button on the climate control panel. That heats the lower windshield with a heating...

I got the cross bin 13. It is an excellent size and leaves about 8 inches underneath to slide long items to the front of the bed.It’s excellent the way it is but I intend on putting a liner in the bottom to keep items from sliding as easy. I already covered the underside of the bin in dynamat...

I did, the locking rod wouldn’t mount properly because of interference with the safety catch. I had to completely remove the safety catch. It functions just fine without it, but I really don’t want to see what happens when the front panel accidentally opens into the wind going down the highway...

So what exactly did the Gladiator do better during the comparison off-road? They found a way to bury the nose of the Ranger by purposely picking a bad line and putting the rear axle at the apex of the hill and the front end at the bottom of the hill; whereas the Gladiator has a longer wheelbase...
