The table or the GOBI ladder? Interested in a GOBI ladder :-)

BTW - Bumper setup looks great

If you have a Gobi ladder (I do), the swingarm will work. although mine only clears by about 1/4". However, when I tried to add the fold-down camp table, it adds another ~1/2"-3/4" to the inner face of the swingarm, which makes it contact my ladder... So if you want to run the ladder or camp table, you'll (most likely) have to choose between the two.

I believe [MENTION=51030]joneseyyy[/MENTION] has/had issues with his swingarm contacting his ladder. Not sure if he has the table or not.

I wonder if [MENTION=64712]CBI OffRoad Fab[/MENTION] can move the spindle on the swing arm further out to give another 1/4 of clearance and allow both? I use my ladder a good bit, but would also want the fold down table for my Coleman Dual Fuel stove when camping.

Or maybe the rotopax carrier can be moved out 0.5 inch and the fold down table have an elevation change to more "wrap" around the ladder? thoughts?

I ground out the bottom "lip" of the table a little bit with a combination of angle grinder/dremel and repainted the edge to provide about 1/2" of clearance between the table and the ladder. I can take a pic later.

If you could get a pic that would be great... I'll wait on sending it back until I can see what you did to fit yours. Without the table it's already close --- about 1/4" from contacting the ladder. Not sure I'll be able to work it out but I'll give it a shot!

Thanks Ben.
 
Installed the HD rear springs today. MUCH easier if you undo the upper links.

Here's a quick pic.. L to R is 35/12.5/17 MT/R's, 285/70/17 (33") MT/R's, and 35/12.5/18 Nitto's



Quick snap of the work... wish I had a lift.


We mounted his new 35 MT/R's in the back when we were done and drove around for a little while. I think they might work... some trimming will definitely be involved. I'll try to get pics of them while stuffed/drooped. Didn't mount any on front and that's where I'd have to trim the fender and cut back my pinch weld as well as re-do the BMC. At least I'm already geared for it...

We appreciate the info about the fitment of the fold down table. We can make both the fold down table and the ladder work for future models as we can adjust the fitment of the swing arm to compensate.
