Wow, that's the best price I've seen, by far. Thank you. Is this your company or a company you've purchased from before?

I need a new full set of wheel (lug) nuts because my originals were in pretty rough shape, and the stripping and refinishing job I tried two years ago didn't last. They're now rusty red, and I'm not ok with that. The problem is, OEM wheel (lug) nuts are now about $7 each. The absolute cheapest...

That's a brush guard, not bull bar. Often referred to as a damage multiplier. Simply put, they're thin walled garbage and worse than not having anything at all. Nobody here will recommend them and anybody who has one has likely trashed it, though there are a few still around in circulation...

Thank you both. Yes that helps.

Yes, I agree. The body shop was great and I trusted that their subcontracted glass shop would be as good. I've read the FSM instructions that I found on mud. Unfortunately they start at installation not removal. The end of the instructions indicate that you reinstall the cowl, but the...

Bump, awaiting a response.

18 months ago I had some minor rust repair done above my windshield and the body shop subcontracted the glass replacement out to a third party. I provided the OEM glass & gasket along with the FSM instructions for windshield replacement. The guy didn't follow them and I got water through the...

I looked at sliders too, but prices are a bit high. Better off just buying slee or white knuckle.

Your description of the load warrior vs mega warrior is incorrect. The mega warrior is not simply a load warrior with an extension. In their standard form the mega warrior is wider and longer than the load warrior. Yakima sells extensions for both models, so either one can be made longer. I...

I have mine mounted a bit further forward so that the front fairing is just behind the leading edge of my sunroof. I can confirm that the sunroof is fully functional without interference from the rack.

I have a Megawarrior with extension and have my spare mounted up top with the Yakima spare tire mount. I do not find the Megawarrior to be too large. It may be so if attached to the factory rack, but with 1A towers and load bars the megawarrior looks right at home atop an 80. More importantly...

Of the three, the job I did on my own truck at 230k was the most thorough. It included new birfield joints, new wheel and trunnion bearings, new pads and rotors, and all new gaskets, seals, lock rings, etc. Everything was OEM except for the Birfield joints. I sourced those from Nitro through...

Cruiser Outfitters is good to go for parts. I say plan on two days, even if each is only 5 hours. If you wanna tackle it all at once so be it. I've done three, and in every case it was nice to spend day one disassembling and cleaning so on the morning of day two you are ready to begin reassembly.

Yakima 1A raingutter feet can be had inexpensively on the second hand market and will work perfectly well with whatever length yakima bars you'd like to use. You can buy a lot more rack, but if the tent is going to cover most of it anyway then I'm not sure it makes sense.

Looks like the Kuat is made to carry a couple of bikes or skis or something. Your spare and a mounting bracket is going to be heavier than a pair of bikes. How much heavier, and if it'll matter, I don't know. My suspicion is that the Kuat isn't up to the task of carrying a spare Cruiser tire...
