What rock rails are those? Or are those the Tremor steps rails with the step removed?
They are the factory rails with the step hoops removed. 4 bolts in each one. I added the 3M grip tape to cover the holes and the slight scuffs left by the step touching the rail.

I love it! How easy is it to remove the back seat? Is it something that can be easily swapped out if I went this route? Sometimes I have human passengers. Sometimes I might want to bring my buddy!

Thanks! The backseat is held in with 4 bolts (which I'm re-using to hold the platform down) and you'll have to release the middle seatbelt temporarily.

I'm confident I can have the platform out and seats back in in about 15-20 minutes without much fuss.

Cool! Any issues on the dash with a seatbelt message being displayed? When I have rear seat passengers I get a display about who is wearing a seatbelt. LOL

Comes with the wiring harness and plugs to connect directly to the side marker lights. So they are plug and play. With some custom wire rigging you could always hook it up to one of your auxiliary switches if you so chose. I'm okay with it coming on when the side markers come on and didn't want to have to change anything.

Wait, the US ranger comes with aux switches from the factory?

Does suck, no? I try to pay off loans ASAP, but after a few years it doesn't really make sense. I'm close to paying off the mortgage, but it's no longer smart I guess.

First test of the new rack, I will soon drive it, so far it feels very solid and ergonomic. I might not use anymore my diyed hitch bike carrier.
