Diabolical Slipstream Security Enclosure Review and Installation

[Coldsmoke]

It works with a tailgate table. No issues on my set up.

Outstanding! Thanks for the feedback on that. It's definitely in my future then.

I know you would have figured something if it “could” work. I’m trying to do the same thing.
I’m just wondering if the small corner security tabs could be made to be larger and shaped to cover the folded top corners that I am proposing to cut?
However, then we would have a larger security tab that would probably be able to easily be bent out of the way….and not too strong/secure.?

What about a different speaker placement/option?

What size quick release pin did you get?

 

[PC Austin]

Just a hair over 20". Diabolical does offer addons that add another 4" and 8" of clearance if needed.

Going back to this. I ordered the slipstream. But the addon 4"/8 don't seem to be available for the Bronco.

Has anyone tried to install the builtright industries rear molle panels with their slipstream?

Great post and review. Thanks everyone for all the information on the slipstream. Got a build date and this may be one of my first big aftermarket purchases. Approximately how long did it take to receive the slipstream after ordering for those that did?

Does anyone know if Diabolical runs any periodic sales / promotions or if they offer a discount to forum members? This is probably my next major update now that I'm running topless through the summer and early fall and need the extra security. But willing to time my purchase a bit...

 

[sutherland55555]

Around the holidays they have sales varied from 10-15% off. I believe they have 10% off until the end of July.

@Dirty Bronco

Almost 2 years later, are you still enjoying the enclosure? Has it patinaed any?

(And steel is really expensive now. )

Thank you,
David

I’ve had the Slipstream for about 2 years. Its always creaked and rattled. A couple of weeks ago I finally got around to completely dismantling it, put rubber washers everywhere that metal touches metal, applied FlexSeal to the square part of the bolts, and FlexSeal to the pins. Completely silent now.

I love it. I plan to get the Diabolical pull out tray this year.

I have had my Slipstream a little over two years and absolutely love it. I recently added the slide floor v2 and added the retro levers (highly recommend) to the top lids to make them easier to fold instead of the pins. It also eliminated the need for bungees between pins to prevent the occasional rattling/squeaking. Now I only have 2 bungees installed for the back panel pins only and no rattles. Allan currently has a promo for free foam pads or molle panel with a purchase of a Slipstream or slide floor.

Did you use spray or liquid FlexSeal, or the glue? I’ve got a SlipStream on order and am thinking about doing your suggestions out of the gate. Thanks for the feedback

I used the spray flexseal.

Straight Forward, time consuming install, very functional and great quality! @Diabolical Inc
Some minor fabrication to the JCR molle panels and all works well together!

What kind of modification are we looking at? I gave up my Ford enclosure awhile ago to put in the jcr system, and missing the security when back windows are off. Did you add the lower jcr panels, or the upper cargo divider? I'm running the whole set.

I might do this to reduce my jcr molle creaking. Thanks for the idea.
