Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

When you say "Ben Lomond" I wonder where there are trails...lol. The town of Ben Lomond is off of Hwy 9 in Santa Cruz Hwy.

 

I was thinking the same thing, but I think the trail they’re talking about* is up by Chico (based on my 5 minutes of googling)

 

I finally got that. Sounds amazing.

 

Can anyone tell me why the receiver for my DIY bumper would be cut like this?

 

Umm, that looks kinda fucky.. must've been a 4 beer lunch before dude cut it..

 

@2BeersPlease if you dont use it i will take it for my front bumper build.

 

Didn't want to name names because they're a popular name on here.

 

Does the rear plate face at an angle, mine was.

 

I'd measure the hole from the edge and have a local metal shop cut one. Or @jqueener could break out the bandsaw and go after it.

 

Looks like both sides are angled. You would want the front flush and square I would think.just easier to install a hitch.so it doesn't bounce around and rattle

 

If the face is at an angle, then possible cut at final angle. But yes back side would want to be at a 90 to the support side.

Then again, I used a stick welder on them pieces on mine.
FYI... I also have a runner, so design is difrent.

 

@2BeersPlease When doing them DIY kits, take your hitch slide in piece and make sure the holes are a good match with the pin before welding in.

May or may not had the same problem on mine!

 

This is for a hitch behind the license plate, so I would think at least one end needs to be 90°.

 

Spotted @tyfoon11 in the eddo garage today. Huge thanks to the man for the assist with my leaf spring swap.

 

I'll take it away from your backyard

 

Relentless? The outer tip points up, angle with the departure angle. On application s where it is under the bumper, this would help prevwnt digging in a bit, I guess.

Here's the backside of Don's, which I was testing for spare clearance, to give you the idea, sorta.

 

Not familiar with what you have. But the face end should be cut at whatever the final face plate degree of angle it slides in
usually.

 

Whats the final product?
I would think whom ever the maker is would be willing to chime in and give you the correct info/ or say shit thats wrong let me send you the right part. DIY or not if its wrong or not they should be willing to help answer your questions.

 

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I guess I need to get out more.

 

FML!!! Literally one caliper left to bleed and I was done working on my truck that been trying to finish for the last week and a half. Well my dumbass had to snap the passenger off in the caliper. So pissed right now and now have to either get an extractor kit tomorrow or bring the caliper somewhere.
