    I came back and watched the video again, I kind of missed something the first time about the shims. Someone told me you have to take the tail lights out to take the bedcaps off, I said “naaa……wait….lets see what Epic Adventures did”. I’m glad I came back. Because I don’t wanna break any of the clips either, thanks for an excellent install video!
    If I break any clips, where do I get more?
    Thanks

    On my Mojave I got the Diamondback HD in the diamond plate style thinking it would have more grip for hauling up top.Easy install. Doesn't leak a drop and it makes a military look. Well worth the price.

    Thanks for the video. I just received a Diamondback HD and am excited to install on my Gladiator. I am looking for guidance on how to remove the bed cap clips and am searching the web and UA-cam but coming up empty. Any advice on how you were able to remove the clips without breaking them?

    That’s a pretty sweet set up. It be kinda neat if the front half was 2 split doors that opened the other way for easier access. But man that DB stuff sure is nice 👍🏻

    Why did the tail lights have to come off? I don't have bed rails. Do I need to get the Mopar bedrails first, or are they available as part of a kit.

    • @TheEPICBeardedGinger
      @TheEPICBeardedGinger 3 роки тому

      Removing the tail lights gave us access to start removing the bed rail caps, and I think you can order the cover to work without the mopar rails

    If I don’t plan on putting weight on my cover do I still need to put the shims in under the bed rail liner?

    • @EPIC-4WD
      @EPIC-4WD  2 роки тому

      Yes you should. When you clamp it down, the shims make sure you don't destroy the bed rail plastic.

    So I’m confused as to why you say you had to remove the taillights? I get possibly removing the rail caps for the shim installs but don’t get the need for taillight removal all for a cover. Enlighten me please as I am looking to get one of these

    Love what you’re doing! I’m wanting to overland mine. Looking at an ARE camper top and RTT combo, what do you think? Also, I have a 12’ tandem axle enclosed tool trailer I use for my business that I tow about once a week. Any suggestions to improve towing? Wish y’all were in the USA I like your perspective on what to do with the Mojave!

    • @TheEPICBeardedGinger
      @TheEPICBeardedGinger 3 роки тому +1

      I would pick the RSI Smartcap over the ARE canopy 100% much better suited to off road and keeping out dust, and for towing, people like in coil airbags from Airlift.

    • @cglehmanone
      @cglehmanone 3 роки тому

      In coil air bags won’t mess up my Mojave’s sweet suspension performance when I’m not towing will it? I’m a newb sorry.

    I have a JTR the Mopar 2" kit and upgrades with 35s. I have a Smart cap and added the upgraded rear sway bar. I drive almost exclusively mountain roads....Any other ideas to reduce the body roll? Perhaps adding a stiffer shock such as Falcon? Any thoughts would be appreciated....

    • @EPIC-4WD
      @EPIC-4WD  3 роки тому

      Well... you have the Mopar lift. So you'll need new shocks, new coils and some front drop brackets to add some extra caster just to start. Give us a call if you have any questions, we'd be happy to steer you in the right direction.

      @@EPIC-4WD Thanks for your video of the Diamondback HD! I am just about sold on this cover as being one
      of the most secure. I do see a potential flaw that looks like it could easily be explioted. It looks as if all someone would need to do is remove 4 hinge screws and a cover could be removed with a slight twist from the hinge side. It would be cool if someone could verify this as it looks like this would be pretty easy to do. The alternative cover I am looking at is the Renegade cover which is similar but does not have hinge screws that can be removed. What is your opinion on this? Thx.
