Hep designs molle panel for the back window.
This thing rocks to keep the little stuff in reach.
That's pretty cool, I've not seen that before

How are you liking that line X thus far? I would like to do that to my rocker panels too. They have been taking a beating.

Only thing I dislike is the articulation, or lack there of. Oh and the IFO on the white paint. Im going to have to break out the clay bar soon and spend like two days rubbing.
The rockers were taking a beating here in MT with the rocks-not gravel- that they drop on the highways. Line x fixed that issue though. Now I want to do the grill and fenders around the wheels.
Im using all the fancy tech more than I thought I would. Running Pandora right from the steering wheel and listening/talking to texts is awsome.

Little more kit added to the Xterra. Picked up a set of TREDs for cheap off summit. tried them out in the yard a little and seem like they will work just fine for loss of traction recovery.
Ordered a dephep rack and received it in a month. Solid rack,not too heavy, nice powder coating, good tie down points and mounting hardware. The rack will allow me to get some lighter stuff out of the back to give the dog some more room.
Oh, and on the way to work Sunday some lady decided not to stop at the line of traffic waiting for the light.
She smacked my rear end at like 20 or so.
Ended up scratching some powder coating off my hitch and looks like she scraped my exhaust.
And I Spilled My Coffee! !!
Trucks got less than 10k on it. Err this has Pissed me off. I'm glad everyone is OK and whatnot but am scared the insurance won't want to cover aftermarket stuff.
Anyone deal with this before?
Hitch welds could be compromised.
Exhaust could have been pushed forward causing all sorts of issues down the line.
Think they will replace it for me?

Got the insurance check yesterday.
Had to go to dealership to get the quote for the exhaust.
Then to a powder coat guy to get a price to sandblast and re coat the bumper.
Then back to the dealership for a quote on labor to remove and reinstall the bumper.
Went to 3 body shops that didn't want to deal with it. Was a whole ordeal.
BUT now have a new MagnaFlow muffler and tip coming and am going to redo the exhaust from the cats back to get rid of the restrictive y pipe.
Plus have a lot left over to put into the suspension.

Yeah for new exhaust! No more restrictive Y pipe.
MagnaFlow muffler sounds a little bit louder but not much. I'll give it a couple hundred miles and see then.
Also retired my medium size cooler.
To storage with you old Coleman.
Hello Yeti45
big improvement and footprint. fits perfectly and lines right up with the tiedowns.

Ha, don't know yet just got it a few days ago. I would say just by the feel and how thick the sides are, yes worth it. I do have a big Coleman extreme, think it's a 70? It works great if you have it covered in blankets and don't open it. This fits for me in the medium cooler range. As in I have a smaller one and a bigger one. I got a really good deal using REI 20% off and my dividend.
