Eric Garside Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Very creative on the mounting of those flaps! Need to get them coated so they dont rust :thumbup: In Idaho they would have stopped you ages ago for no flares too! Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 When you find a flair soulution ( without cutting the tin ) let me know. 2eDeYe . Merry Christmas man. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Got the brackets coated and made some longer sleeves to take up the gap inside the truck cross member tube. The sleeves are a leftover piece of plumbing from my new bathroom sink install, cut to size and split to fit over the 1.5 od bracket tube. Fit nice and snug. Cut down a ratchet strap for permanent retention duty, if it ever becomes a hassle or breaks I have some capture pins I can use but for now this is super quick release/install. Shot from my Sunday drive. 1 Quote Link to comment

Boxcar Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Had it out in the woods lately? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nope, hopefully I will get it out next weekend. :) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Got a little work done on the front bumper this weekend. I've lost track of how many times it's been on and off the truck :lol: Pretty terrible picture of the front mount plates. The bumper will have a total of 12 bolts holding it on, should stay mounted with even the toughest yanking. And a front shot, still have to trim the corners and plate them. Haven't finalized the blinkers/marker lights, I have some trucker lights but I am still debating frenching the stockers. 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hopefully soon, I don't like to go out by myself in case something happens and my buddies are all broke or broken at the moment. Nuff did throw down a birthday deadline for those fuckers though, so the 22nd we will be hitting the woods for sure. :) Quote Link to comment

SandyMush620 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hey Redeye, I have a set of stock front bumper mounts if you really wanna go overkill. Never yank it off then. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm having the opposite problem, I have like 2 feet of snow...but no truck yet <_< Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Jealous of the 4" and would love 2 feet, that kicks ass :D Hey Redeye, I have a set of stock front bumper mounts if you really wanna go overkill. Never yank it off then. The bumper I'm building also bolts to the stock location on the frame already, but thanks :) Quote Link to comment
SandyMush620 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The bumper I'm building also bolts to the stock location on the frame already, but thanks :) Lol, I keed, I keed. Stock mounts are lightweights. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah should have caught the sarcasm :lol: All the mounts for this one are 1/4" plate. :) Quote Link to comment

ratsun73 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 so what leaf springs are you running front and rear? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 They are custom packs I had built years ago for my 63 wagoneer. 2" lift for that application. They are a little stiff, I'll be removing a leaf at some point to soften it up a bit. Quote Link to comment
