Woohoo, finally got the new Cage Installed yesterday. Big shout out to Moses Guillen of Brick City Fabs for their great work. Added a color matched Roof Rack for long ride and camp excursions. Some before and after picks.
I bought the spare tire rack separately. Had to bang and bend a little to get the pins in. Which is a good thing, it bounced and rattled on the stock cage and drove me nuts. It’s wedged tight now, no more rattling and bouncing
I need to cut the 90 deg bend out and re-welded as a straight piece. I can squeeze into the trunk as it is right now. With the desert getting in the triple digits right now, you want that spare with you at all times. You’ll die trying to hike 10 miles out. So while it’s inconvenient, it’s smart to carry the spare. At some point I’ll get it reworked
