Damn, the combo of the top, corners, vent cover, lights and even the Nitto decal really makes it all look so bad ass. Great job on the install and build, very well done :thumb:

Thanks a lot, I'm really liking it being a little different then the standard black skins and corners. Not that I don't like that. Just wanted to change it up. I almost powdercoated my carrier white but I personally thought it might be too much.

Coming along nicely. I like the 10a rubicon decals, but you already know how I feel.

In case you didnt know it, there are shorter 10a bump stops for that hood for the low profile look.

Trailer pulled like crap so I moved the axle back 8 inches where it should have been. Now I have a much better tongue weight ratio!

Was it flighty or just weight distribution?

It was swaying so I ended up doing this to pull it 300 miles.
I needed to get more tongue weight on it and add more air pressure to the tires. The tires are only C rated and a flex really bad in between the rim and the side wall with about 800 lbs in the trailer.

I made it about 50 miles and I had to figure something out. I had to let a bunch of air out of the tires because I had all of the glass dishes and stuff bringing it to the new house. I need a soft ride but I think now I'll be able to put the bike rack on the back and it will be perfect. I'm putting a 150lbs rooftop tent on top of it. When you're in a pinch you gotta figure something out fast.

I ordered my top today! I went the non "wayalife" trend on this one, just seems to fit our lifestyle better!
Supertop nx black diamond.
Wanted the twill but then I remember how I wheel! Figure I'll be buying another one soon.
