Pelfreybilt Off-Road

$120

 

But if you have winch and steel skids it is worth it

 

Yes sir! We will be there!!

 

Got my fuse panel


AWESOME!!! Thank you!!

 

Through DSM as well?

 

Got it. I'll have to make that decision before I pull the trigger.

 

Yea but that was about a year ago

 

Easy enough. Thanks man.

 

Okay thanks.

 

I'd be curious to know as well, up here in AK i live on my block heater lol

 

YAY!! Have FUN! Email us with any questions!

 

How much drop on the stock coils for the steel front plate? Do the 700# springs account for steel plate and full skid plates?

Also I was looking into possibly the OME heavy duty 2.5" lift. Adequate?

 

Well I will be trying to figure it out shortly, front and rear bumpers are in Blaine WA, one more leg of travel up here. I'll post when I'm done.

 

Still curious of how much drop on stock coils but I did get a response from ARB on the heavy duty specs.

The OME Heavy Coils are rated for up to 220lbs. added accessory weight. Specs are below:



2886- Bar Dia.17.5 mm, Free Height 402mm, No. of turns 10.6, Coil wt. 5.9 kg, Spring Rate 660 lbft/in..



Pelfrey thoughts?

 

700# coilovers are the best option for running our steel bumper with wing and skids yes

 

I would expect about 3/4" drop for a steel bumper on stock suspension, that will increase with skids, winch etc. You will also feel it when braking as the nose end will duck some. Many people add the bumpers and then suspension but it is pretty important to get the suspension upgraded to carry the weight in a timely manner. Those who choose to do the suspension first and set it up for the added weight just have to deal with a little rougher ride until they add the armor.

The OME heavy duty will work well. The spring weight is very close to 700#. We recommenced 700# coils for steel bumpers but 650# coils work well also. The main thing with the Icon 650# coils is the length, they are a 13" tall coil versus the 700# coils that are 14" tall coils. When you load weight on the 650# coils it is hard to get enough preload to carry the weight without violating Icons recommended adjustment limits of 2" of thread showing on the coil-over. The OME coils are not adjustable, rather they use shims so this is not an issue.

We really like the King C/O's because you can select the coil weight and valving rather than purchasing the C/O with the preset valving and coil weight and then having to pay to upgrade the coils and maybe even re-valving.

Hopefully this helps

 

Any insight with regards to OME coils? 885s vs 886s for steel plate and winch? Also will have sliders on there.

 

Thanks Duck Slayer.
I will look into the Kings

 

Hey Brian.
Does your Pelfreybilt fuse panel bracket fit your 2013?
It seems like my master cylinder/brake fluid reservoir is different than others I have seen.
My bracket won't work unless I modify it to remove the second breaker hole, or cover the OEM fuse box.
Which would require removing the bracket to replace OEM fuses... (not an option)



EDIT: Modified to fit...



If it don't fit, force it.
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

 

How funny. I'm installing mine as well! I just emailed Satin about it.

In which holes are you mounting yours? Mine sits way higher
