Next week I will be relocating mirrors, hooking up the tail gate peg boards try to figure out how the hell im going to get by big ol dog into my Jeep, I have to lift his entire hind quarters to even get him in the back seat. Once I get this thing lifted I may have to mount a damn wheelchair ramp to get him in.
Anyone have any ideas for a low cost way to make my current and future ride more pooch accessible?

You could fab up a ramp that you can store in your trunk or on your roof

It's super easy to do. Seems intimidating, but it really isn't. All you need is a saws all and some tape to tape your lines. Cut as straight as possible and go to the local parts store and buy some plastic trim. Plus there are tons of write ups on fender trim. Take a stab at it!

I plan on it. Was going to use a jigsaw and a metal blade so the cut is slow. Patience is key from what I've seen.

Love the green shock boots. I plan on doing some funky color when mine become visible.

I used an osolating saw/tool and went slow worked good and used flex seal and duck tape to keep the inner fenders on and then the trim

Just did mine last weekend. First cut is nerve racking, then you are good to go. Tons of great write ups.
