Paramaniac,

Can you post a photo of your left rear post? I have a 4-door version and mine doesn't have it and I had to take off the plate holder to tilt the rack back. Also did you get prop rods with yours?

Thanks

next weekend at the JK fest will be the first time i use the tent, but since getting it, setting it up for practice i think its awesome!

as for the kargo master.... my only complaint is the wind noise i get between 40 and 55 mph.

i love that thing. where did you purchase it? i was looking at the dimensions last night - do you think it would fit on the 2 door? the closed dimensions are smaller than one of the racks that kargo master offers, so i assume it would.

i got it through Quadratec, it drop ships from ARB, be prepared for a tractor trailer to pull up and leave it on the curb!

if you go to the ARB site and look it up, you will see it on tons of different vehicles, so i am guessing it will fit on the 2 door.
