Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Damn van has more offroad parts than my truck did.

 

Did I mention its powered by an Audi 2.0L inline 4 that has about half again more HP and torque than the original VW boxer ? hahahaha.

 

The popular replacement was a Subaru motor. That Audi must be da bomb!

 

If i never touch a Jeep long arm lift again, ill be 100% ok with it.

2 full days spent on this thing, still not done. It fought me every step of the way. Seized bolts, snapping bolts, drilling and tapping and removing studs. I cant wait to be done.

TL;DR F Jeeps

 

Been looking around for a free/cheap means of mounting a couple of rear-facing lights on my bedrails. Came across a quantity of these 1/4" steel brackets (1.5" x 3" x 6") at work in the pile destined for the metal recycler. Anybody else want a pair for a project? Free.

 

Those might make good bumper supports. Depending on the size.

 

Whenever I come across shit like this, my head explodes with creativity and possibility. When I should be doing other things.

 

ADD?

Are you now, or have you ever been, gluten-intolerant?

 

Holy shit, I just noticed the image has the same ribbons as the emoji! FTMFW!

 

If you are talking about the non-threaded stud sticking out of the short side, it is roughly 3/8" x 1" long.

 

Ah, I did not notice it was not threaded.

Also, it looks like one of the gussets is not sitting flush with the edge of the bracket. Is that just the image, or are we dealing with some variances in craftsmanship?

 

Remember they were from the garbage..
