no it was under Bra hill--- not pantie hill but bra hill--- guess what was hanging all over? Let just say one was able to carry a 30 gallon drum on each side .

I didn't do anything to the truck today, but I did change oil in the wife's SUV(Highlander) and the front brakes on her Miata. I wish all my vehicles were as easy to do the brakes on as that thing. Less than an hour for the front and that included finding tools and a couple of other goofs on my part.

I broke mine does that count as doing something to my truck?

I took mine through the car wash over lunch. Otherwise nothing, because my whole evening was spent staining the fence.

a couple of nights ago, I took out the rear carpet in the Jeep. they made that fairly easy. however it seems you have to take out the front seats in order to remove the front carpet.. That doesn't make sense to me I think I will have to research it to see if I am correct.

I am still running a humidifier in it. turns out the carpet in a Jeep is fairly thick. nearly 3/4 inch. so it can hold a lot of water. I have poured an estimated 4 gallons of water out of the dehumidifier since I started running it.

Don't run it like that for long, or there will be more damage. (I don't have to tell ya that. you know..)

Personally I would consider going with full widths with limit straps just for the stability, so I would feel more secure at going to steep side angles and not having the fear of rolling to the side. If I build one personally, that will be the direction I will go. Something that I could go up ledges sideways if I want.

Sean, you are lucky it wasn't bigger. Did it do damage to the vehicle?

Got a little dent, no big deal. Happy to save the rear glass, it’s expensive.
