Probably worth mentioning that on the XJ, the bumper blocks you from installing the large yellow zinc bolt directly from below - you have to drop the pin down onto it and then fight to get at the bolt to tighten it. Also, with my carrier, the pin was out of spec by a couple thousandths and would not insert into the hole at all, let alone as smoothly as shown here. I had to get it machined down to get a proper fit.
My 22 2 door, the driver side rear mount I could only use 1 of the long bolts through the frame. The forward position has a crossmember on the backside with no access so I drilled/tapped the center hole.
Easy install guys, just remove the top, sound bar, bolt some stuff, drill holes, prove taylor series, create a graphical model of optimal fuel efficiency using only matlab. Super easy guys.
I went to Jiffy Lube to have an oil change… It was taking a long time. I noticed when it looked like it was finished. The hood was down the one mechanic had a bolt in his hand. I asked him is everything OK? And mechanic said yes, they dread broncos because there’s 40 bolts they have to undo Doesn’t look like 40 only about 13 bolts I asked him if the bolt the mechanic was holding in his hand was to my car and they didn’t answer me… I don’t know why they would lie to me like this… But I’m gonna go back to Ford in two weeks for them to make sure all the bolts are back on that skid plate…
Hearing the driver door close made me cringe as it reminded me I still need to install the 50mil Kilmat noise decoupler and 4mm Siless insulation in my front doors. I already did the roof, back quarters, rear doors, cargo area and under the rear seats. Under the rear seats is close to where the leaf springs and shocks are mounted. Wheel well area's are extremely solid, so I did not do those area's. Additional 5mm foam was installed on the trans/drive line tunnel as well. Floors and cargo area received 12mm foam matting topped off with floor liners and the carpeting and all that has been removed. From the rear cargo area to the lower firewall the floor was cleaned and had Herculiner bedliner as a base protection. As with most the backer board was removed and new headliner material was installed in my 4 liter powered '87 Pioneer.
I finally got my panel installed today. Had a slight delay because I fell at KOA Pigeon Forge (they are NOT ADA compliant, by the way) and crushed my rib cage at Jeep Invasion last August. Throw in three broken legs into the mix ... Now, I am ready to install my CB & switch panel and hit the trails. Better prepared. BOTTOM LINE MY FAVORITE INSTALL OF MY 60+ YEARS OF JEEPING.
Assembling and attaching the rack is the easiest part! Getting to it is wild though. Thank you for showing me all of that. I think I like this size and shape more than the prinsu, this came at a perfect time!
Big fan of you guys but for this product on my JTR i had to choose another manufacturer due to not really having much storage room with these ones compared to ones i went with & i didn't want to remove my for panel or drill holes in it , i definitely understand the better securement of the nuts & bolts but using the factory bottom screws along with the metal clip/ bracket the others have & them seating down into the nets surround they are very secure and solid & are ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY mounted stronger than the others !!!Again i love my JCR products & your install videos , i still learned from this Video & it helped me in several ways so please keep it up your fan base is continuously growing !!!!
