No sorry I don’t. I think I got them at Walmart. Any 1” rings should work. But I would try and find some with a low profile outer ring.

Here are a couple updated pictures of my DIY dashboard showing my current configuration for two iPhones and an iPad.

I made a riser that was threaded on both ends - one that screwed onto the metric threads in the dash, and the other so I could screw the scope mount rings into it. The bar mount itself is 1" scope rings, with a recessed hole drilled though the bottom that uses a cap screw to thread into the...

The wife and I use these in our roof top tent at night: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_20?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=carebag+medical+grade+male+urinal+bag&sprefix=carebag+medical+male%2Caps%2C390&crid=QKWD3IHYVR1J The wife simply uses a "GoGirl" apparatus and she can go...

I used 1” OD steel tubing. I don’t remember the wall thickness, but it wasn’t very thick.

I made my own too. I had already purchased the 67 Designs mount for the middle dash storage well area, and I was not keen on spending the money they were asking for the Vector mount, so I too made one. I used 1" scope mounts to mount it to the dash, and I bent the bar slightly to conform with...

After several weeks of deliberation, I mounted ours here. (Edit - I don't know how to turn my picture upright).

After spending the better part of last year equipping ourselves with gear, and upgrading the Jeep for some overlanding, we are planning to take a trip to New Mexico during spring break to run a portion of the "Enchanted Rockies Trail" that Lifestyle Overland mapped out a couple years ago. We...

For those of you with roof racks, and/or RTTs on your Jeep JKU, this mod is probably something you’ll need to consider. I know that after I installed my RTT, my XM radio reception was crap. I tried one of those brackets that mounts it right in front of the passenger sun visor, but the...

Greetings fellow Kansans! I recently joined OB, but have been a member of the Flint Hills Jeep Club for the past six years. I also joined the Konza Overland FB group, as well. We (the wife and I) started out with a 2000 TJ, but after five years of wheeling and "evolving", we decided that...

Here are some close up pictures of the pulleys. I slotted the end of the square tube on one side, and used a bolt with washers to help center it. The pulleys are 2" in diameter.

That's weird - I posted 8 pictures. You only see 3? Ok - so here is a picture that shows the receiver portion of the hoist.

That deer hoist was my inspiration! I knew that I would have to modify it to make it work, so I priced out the materials and decided to just make my own. So did you end up getting the deer hoist modified after all?

Probably not - but I made the receiver portion of the hoist as short as I could to minimize the load on it. I think it would be ok if you made it long enough to clear the spare - I just chose not to.

Thanks for your response! The hoist doesn't use the garage door/frame at all. It simply plugs into the receiver hitch on the Jeep. I made the hoist frame in two parts so I can install it by myself since it's kind of awkward fully assembled. Just for SA. I spent about $60 on the metal, $25 on...
