I had rats crawl in my scion and chew through the cabin filter to get in. There was a fresh air intake along the cowl on that car- i had to make myself mesh cover with rabbit wire and it worked well keeping those pests away. Also, put mesh over your engine air intake because they nest in there...
The first scratches on a new vehicle always hurts most, no mater how small it seems to people that didn’t buy it. My dog put the first scratches on the bedside and the tailgate when she got so excited about the new ride!
My dog is latched in too but she always finds a way to get her paws on the console. Usually she rides tethered in the bed but itf there is too much stuff back there, like when we are camping, she rides in the front.
I’m going to be the oddball I guess and say that if you get a quality set and install correctly you will be fine, even in offroad situations. I had one for years on my XJ until I could afford offset rims and I used those spacers offroad. Not XXXtreme offroad, but lots of fun nonetheless.

I have a bak revolver tonneau cover. I really like it, but also want a rack. Would there be a way to include both your rack and the tonneau? Also, I’ve always been curious why overland racks don’t cover the whole bed. What is the benefit of them being so short?
No, I was able to insert part of it under the plastic cover And work my way around. It’s is recommended you use a heat gun or hair dryer to make the flat sheeting conform to a rounded surface.
I used laminex film- clear for my headlights and amber for my fogs. I like the look. I bought it because i want my headlights to be protected from debris.
I am averaging 23 mpg- just about 5,000 miles on it. I do about 80/20 hwy/city driving, but my hwy driving involves a lot of incline (sea level to 3,000 ft average but up to 6,000). I would get better if I lived in a flatter area. I don’t use cruise control and turn off the autostop/start and...
Were you ever able to work with the elevate rails? Were you able to get it level? Are you enjoying them?
I was able to find a used BAK Revolver- it was broken but I was able to fix it. Now, I want to see the (seemingly few) options for adding a rack with it. I really like the revolver, so I...
Great job! I already took my truck twice for an alignment because the steering wheel was crooked and it’s still not fixed. I did my own alignment on my straight axle XJ but didn’t have a clue how to do it on an independent suspension. Now I do! Thanks!
The Bronco sport does not look as capable as the Ranger for off road. The Ranger also rides really well and often times I feel like I’m in an SUV. And there are options for hauling lumber- like a bed rack. I’ve hauled several pieces of 8 ft lumber in my 5’ box. I think you should test drive the...
I have this same problem! Get out with the engine running to grab something from the Bed or passenger seat and it’s still locked. It’s more annoying than an undampened tailgate for sure!
I agree! If it’s going in for a warranty issue, they should supply you a loaner (not sure of that’s part of the normal warranty or not but it should be!). If they don’t have a car for you, they should be able to get you a rental from another company and it shouldn’t be on you to get that rental...
Maybe they need to do a seance!!! Probably as useful as a third injector swap... unless, of course, they didn’t actually replace all 4 the last two times?
Good luck and I am very interested in the outcome.
