I have my stock carrier if you're looking for something more concealed. Willing to trade.

Mike, congrats on the new EVO kit for the jeep. I know you are chomping at the bit to get that gear installed :thumb:

Sweet! I heard those labels can be pretty hard to get off.:thinking:

Haha, yes they are... Got them off as best I could on the skins for test fit, then let the powder coater blast off the rest.

I am. Unfortunately, I talked to my paint guy yesterday and he said with all the recent repair work (insurance work from the storms) he is at least a month out.

Would like it done by Moab though.

That will give you plenty of time to test fit!

I would test the treads withe the johnny joints, If they bind, DO NOT force them in!!! take it to a machine shop and have them chase the threads. both me and prime8 had to have this done.

Yup, I second that emotion.

So hammering them in with a 10 pound sledge last night was the wrong move? :idontknow: :doh:


Thanks, keep the tips coming boys! :thumb:

Take LOTS of time measuring your skins locations before drilling. Both of mine are level, but one is mounted about 1/4"-1/2" higher than the other.

No need to measure, drink a couple beers use one ratchet strap and don't be scared.

Worked for me anyhow

That's about how my skins went too....needed a drink to keep the hands from shaking with the drill. :crazyeyes::cheesy:

Maybe the sides would be equal if you did? :idontknow:

Maybe huh! Haha. Or maybe they'd be crooked. One beer makes my face go numb...

Believe it or not I'm allergic to beer. One beer gives me the worst headache and just a couple gives me a killer hangover. However whiskey on the rocks I can go for days.
