    Took advantage of a somewhat warm 44 degree winter day. Springtail solutions tailgate table installation was simple to do despite my decision to use substitute rivet nuts for the supplied plastic blind inserts and shifting the tailgate table towards the tailgate hinge. Marked and drilled four 23/64" holes for the rivet nuts, enlarged the metal backing plate holes a bit to 1/4", touched up all the holes, insert the four rivet nuts and bolt the metal backing plate loosely to the tailgate. Use the 4 supplied plastic blind inserts + screws for the bottom holes of the metal backing plate. Next carefully tighten the index plungers then the two shoulder bolts plus nylon washers. The most frustrating task was threading the paracord through tiny holes. Overall I'm very happy with the high quality build, great finish and simple installation. Tailgate table functions as described and will definitely add to the JK's utility. The optional Springtail bags install with molle-type straps and have a quick removal feature.

    Added a JK phone mount from 67 designs in my JK. Overall quality is great with top notch carbon fiber and plastic. No drill install using the original bolt. Another great choice is the magnet mount for quick access but the magnet seems to affect my phone...ymmv

    The TeraFlex HD hinge is an easy upgrade to the factory hinges. The one-piece aluminum design reinforces the two separate factory hinge attachment points on the body for more tire weight capacity as well as adding more utility. I used the oem tire carrier along with the TeraFlex HD hinge.

    I added a back up camera over the weekend, and will be installing a Warn Elite front bumper next weekend. I'll get some pics up.

    Got the Carolina Metal Masters grab handles installed today! Ditched the ball-mount despite the potential for ball-mount accessories to minimize blocking full visor movement.

    Heres a pic of my install:attachment_da45889d9327d03f0528a81d9f11c140d91fd9b6.jpg

    Ordered an aftermarket computer programmer so I can adjust speedo to report correct speeds. Has anyone done that before here?

    Yesterday I loaded my 2014 computer programmer and successfully updated the speedometer. MY 2014 has 35" tires and was off at least 10 MPH at 50. Now its right on !! Verified by my GPS with speed indicator. It was easy.:D

    Ive used Fishing line and some water/soap mix to cut thru the double sided tape. Your left with residue, but WD40 works to help remove that. Or PB Blaster
