Great vid you put together, it's amazing how what's seems like the "easy" final step can become such a hassle for some bodies. These tips should help a lot of guys out who had issues figuring out a good way to do it.... --Dan |

nice looking shop I sandwiched the rockers on my honcho body between the sliders and a piece of HDPE. the HDPE makes a nice slick surface on the outside while safely keeping my body attached to the metal rock slider underneath. the honcho has a full internal cage, so the body is well protected in case of a hard roll over.

Thanks, that's another great idea. I also have some others, like I bolted a velcro strap (like a battery strap), each end, to the bottom of my JK brute box, and simply wrapped it around the frame above the rear driveshaft, and that was it. The exocage on the truck held in the body very well, and it was a 3 second body removal. Easy. Keep them coming! |
