Cardinal Grammeter Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Anyone find a modern part that fits w/o much modding? There are Jeep stops that look pretty close. Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I used Energy 6094, and some large diameter washers. Been on the truck for over 10 years without issue. 2 Quote Link to comment
Cardinal Grammeter Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thanks for the pics! Those 6094's: are they as tall as the OE ones? Are you running tailpipes - I don't want to give up "tailpipe routing space." NOTE: I like your "half washer" "jacks" to keep the clamping washers from tilting! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Something's wrong if the snubber is in the way of a tailpipe. Stock routing is just inside the left frame rail and exits out the back. Quote Link to comment
Cardinal Grammeter Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 No, the bumper does not interfere with the tailpipe. TAILPIPE MUST CLEAR AXLE TUBE: The tailpipe must go over the axle tube. The bumper height determines the min space above the axle tube for tailpipe routing. The stock bumper is very tall - using a shorter one would reduce this space for the tailpipe. NOTE: What's worse for me is that one bumper came off the base plate and I think I left it out intending to replace it. I hauled 1000# of dirt and I think I (I hope) I only pulled the tailpipe out of the muffler. NOTE ON RUST OUT: The stock bumper has a base plate that lays on the bottom surface of the frame. This can cause the frame to rot out - I had a lot of rust scale on mine but the frame was intact. When I replaced it, there was now a gap due to missing metal - the scale bends the remaining metal away too. So I totally filled the gap with the grease-like amber rust proofing (KendCoat 60 or Chevron Marine Rust Proof Compound L - NOTE: Chevron quit selling L in the USA, but Michigan Petroleum Technologies formulated PetroTech Rust Proof Compound L for customers that needed the Chevron.) 1 Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I run 2-1/2" pipe all the way to the back, and I think they may be about the same height as originals, if not a little taller, they were installed a long time ago, and I forget what the originals were like.... But Urethane cuts easily. 1 Quote Link to comment
