Interesting Jeep products

Happened upon these a while back when looking at genrights website. I have been looking to do something similar, I dont think I would pay full price, but I'm interested in making something similar.

For $70, I don't think I could justify the time to make those. Pretty cool idea though.

yea, it got me looking into other similar options. I like that those also protect the top of the tub rail from throwing stuff in the back and sliding it accross the rail.

Didn't you have some kind of fold flat hook on your TJ tub? I know you don't have a hardtop, but why not do something under the rail?

Just ordered a 4x4 Plasma table for work... i don't see why this couldn't be a test cut or 6.

Those that I had never worked very well for what I wanted. I want to do something different this time around.

Can you do aluminum?

I was also looking at a few other options for the tub, but haven't actually gotten a chance to see where the tie points would need to be. I like the Genright, but googled Jeep tie down points to see what the other options were.

I realized that I had a number of 3/8" bolts exposed on the inside of the tub side that have a huge corner guard sized backing plate on the outside of the tub that I could utilize.
you can see the bolts and the existing inside backing plates in this photo.

@Twilliamson have you tried out the CNC Plasma yet?

matth_85 · Jun 3, 2020

@Twilliamson has a plasma???

Twilliamson · Jun 3, 2020

Its on order should have it by the end of the month.

Its not "Mine" the company bought it.. but...Im the only one with a clue how to run it, and i have keys... Shouldnt be a problem to use it whenever. 4x4 with a 65 amp hypertherm on it.

Very nice.

@Twilliamson We need to nest a couple hundred of these in when you cut the first thing.

Man! If shipping wasn't $8....

he says additional sets ship free with the first set. but I'm thinking we can tuck and nest these into other cuts he may be making on the cnc table.

matth_85 · Jun 10, 2020

I'm in for several.
