My brackets are 27 1/2" apart. Has anyone tried using the Cobalt wing? I did a test fit with mine early on to see if I wanted to keep it. I decided I would rather have an aluminum wing instead (which I have yet to purchase). The wing is made of plastic and is not really that stiff. Across...

I'm a Washington resident and had a Nevada LLC for years, so it's no problem getting an LLC in another state. You will need to pay a resident agent (unless you know someone that lives there), and I don't know what Montana requires for llc licensing - sometimes it's yearly, some states are less...

I used 'Rustoleum Truck Bed Coating Spray' on both sides of my floor. I've had good luck with that stuff on car luggage racks, motorcycle fenders, and a few other things that are outside all the time. It's not as thick or rough as typical truck bed liner, more like a rough powder-coat. They...

I tried the trimmer line/mini paint roller/tire wet thing, and also heated up the hose as much as my shop heater would do (hanged it in front of the heater for about an hour). The furthest I ever got was to the first bend, so I just bought the silicone hose instead. Easily pulled 7/8" ID...

There may be hope - my door opening is 69", or 72" if I remove the doors. If I just measured the offset on my wheels correctly (from the doner), then I will be at 65.15". So I may be good until I get different wheels/tires. Thanks for the info JSATX, Sasqwatch, Ross and Jeff - you made my day.

I picked up my frame on November 13th in Spokane. I wanted to mention to anyone hauling their extended frame crate with a Lowes 5' x 10' trailer, it will fit with about an inch in width to spare, and will stick out the back about 2 inches. You'll need to fold the ramp all the way forward to...

Has anyone tried a slightly smaller hose? I'm going to be doing this in a couple of days to mine, and after reading about your difficulties I'm thinking that I might just try something different. I found this 1" ID silicone hose that has a smaller OD (1.33" vs 1.44" for the supplied hose)...

I was thinking about trying VHT roll bar and chassis paint on my frame for the same reasons you've mentioned - I know I'm going to want to change things all the time, which means repainting. I painted a small section of my Fj crusier's frame with the stuff about 2 years ago and it's held up...

I had a set of these on my FJ Cruiser and had to replace them because they were ridiculously bright (but will try them on the Goblin if they fit)...

Hello all, I got the word today that my frame will be #160, probably sent out in July. I've had the doner a few weeks now and have been driving it. It's an 06 supercharged SS. The cobalt seems to be in good shape mechanically. There's a bunch of exhaust leaks, but I don't care as I don't...
