I put one on from a junkyard and use it from time to time. I don't think it would take much time to design a copy for a 3D printer, but then you'd have to monkey with the cord and screw too. Much easier to just use a bungee cord.

March 2019: Fender mod by @AlbatrossCafe so I can run my Spidertrax spacers with 285s. We'll see if I keep these on here.. I know it isn't doing the wheel bearings any favors.

March 2019: I finally got around to a few things that have been on my list for a while. I installed the Bilstein 6112s set at 1" lift with a 1/2" thick (1" lift) Nisstec spacer on top. I installed longer studs in new OEM top hats and used some aftermarket isolators (see posts above). I also...

March 2019: The rear bumpstop retrofit continues... I sent files and measurements for the extensions/adapters to a few local machine shops, but they were wanting $120 just in labor for drilling and counterboring 4 holes and drilling/tapping 4 holes in 3/4" aluminum I would provide them. I have...

March 2019: Fuse/relay box and lights project is finally done. For now. The relay box is overbuilt in the hopes of making future upgrades a bit less difficult. It is only pulling about 20A max now across all the lights on 5 circuits, but should be good for up to 180A across six circuits if need...

March 2019: Last weekend I installed the rear Bilstein 5100s, removed the rear sway bar, and made an aluminum bracket to re-orient the rear brake lines so I have more slack at full droop. I still haven't even assembled the 6112s yet, so the front has to wait a while. I've been working on some...

February 2019: I worked on the top hats for the 6112s I have waiting to install. 6112s don't come with top hats or isolators (they re-use OEM), but I figured I'd assemble them with new parts while I was at it. It should cut down on install time and then I'll have complete Pro-4X coilovers to...

January 2019: New pile of parts is here. Bilstein 6112s, 1" Nisstec top spacers, Mevotech UCAs, and Bilstein 5100s for the rear. I ordered from four different suppliers on Tuesday and it was all here by Saturday morning. The Mevotechs from Rock Auto are definitely still rebranded SPCs, so I'm...

November 2018: I had some time over the holiday to work on my lighting project. Front bar, rear bar, and backup light pods all from an Auxbeam sale a while back. They've been gathering dust for too long. I mounted the front bar the same way many on here have. After removing the front bumper, I...

October 2017: Mounted my hi lift on Friday and it hasn't fallen off yet. I had kept it under my rear seats but I needed the space back and it can't go on my bumper. I need to pick up a gun lock for it since the hi lift locking knobs are a joke. Probably should get a sleeve for the delicate bits...

October 2017: It's been a good weekend. Yesterday I drove over to Utah and met Maxterra (Dave) and got my rear bumper installed. Between him and his friend James it took less than an hour, but I probably could have stayed there all day talking to both of them. Nice guys, and Dave has a very...

September 2017: Small update. I added a set of wheel locks and tried to upgrade the interior lighting a bit. The lug locks are from McGard, who I've had pretty good experiences with in the past. The locks are about 1/4" longer than the OEM lug nuts, so they do stick out a bit. It was the same...

September 2017: Finally put a dent in the (small) pile of parts I've had sitting. BF M226 cover, Nisstec shock skids, Nisstec u-bolt flip kit, and PRG billet shims. I like to rant, so feel free to skim or skip. Honestly, just skip it and stick to the pictures. BF Cover Nice product. Welds...

August 2017: Finally painted the Ballistic Fab M226 cover I bought over summer. I polished out the skull a while back, but didn't spend much time on it since it's just going to get dirty and dinged up anyway. I followed the lead from some others on here and used some Rustoleum hammered finish I...

August 2017: Worked on a few little things before going up to Wyoming to see the eclipse. It was our first time sleeping in the X so I made some shades out of Reflectix for the windows. It's pretty easy to work with and they fit in all the windows great. I didn't do one for the windshield since...

July 2017: Installed my TYT TH-9800 quad band ham radio. I am not thrilled with how it mounted, so I plan on moving it a little forward and angling it up a bit down the line. Tearing out the dash is a bit of a chore though, so it's staying put for now. Antenna coax is an Opek 207C NMO, ran to a...

Day One: Crooked pinstripes were driving me crazy, so they had to go. Also gave her a bath. While installing aftermarket heated seats: All from spring/summer 2017: Gobi ladder installed, parked next to a fellow X: Morimoto HID retrofit: Full cargo rug: Starting to get into ham: DIY...
