this thing is pretty cool (for girls). I got to check it out in person when I went to Colorado this past summer. (note: they took off the rack)
I made my mom drive us about 1 1/2 hours away to check out the shop, after going to the original shop they told me they had moved. Another half hour drive. Found it! with all the jeeps out in front. Too bad they were "still under construction" and wouldn't give me the time of day. Wouldn't even let me buy a T-shirt or anything. what nice people huh? and I think it was the chick (Cliftons wife/GF) that I talked to.
(OFF TOPIC I KNOW)

and Brian, reguardless of whether it was driven to the trail (which in no doubt it probably could have been) it is still running the rack on some pretty gnarly looking trails.
and do me a favor Erik, try not to get into the name calling. I dont really appreciate that. This is a discussion not a 3rd grade name calling contest... Thanks.

you implied that installing a rack doesn't mean using it for its intended purpose. who in their right mind would put a rack on their rig with no intention of putting junk in it.
i implied that you thinking this way is stupid if you indeed were saying that it was to be a show piece, and would not have things loaded onto it.
kind of like having a tire carrier bumper and not having a tire on it... or some KC lights that aren't wired up to use, or 37" tires on a dana 35.
some stuff makes no sense, and this is one of those things.
if one is going to mount a rack onto their rig, they will likely put junk into it. this is not a good idea for rigs wheeling in off camber situations, as it outs weight too high.
this point has been said a number of times, and you seem not to take it in as you visualize this rack being empty. change that vision to a rack with stuff on it.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
