KORE Frame reinforcement plates

Happy to help man, I've been looking for a reason to tear into some t4r projects!

 

@Texoma, they are different, ripping the front of the 4r off right now. I'll post up pics of the reinforcement plates as soon as they're ready.

 

@Texoma


3/16" steel.
Shown using the stock hardware, but holes are sized to allow a half inch grade 8 bolt

 

Noland, your order has been received and will be shipped tomorrow.

Will your brackets work if my paper-thin brackets look like this on both sides?

 

I honestly don't see how these brackets help at all
Bigger grade 8 bolts are nice but as your picture shows the factory bolts aren't the problem. Unless these are supposed to be welded in but if you can weld you can cut these yourself too...

 

It laminates the thin factory metal so your pulling against 3/16th thick steel instead of 1/16th. If you've ever used your aftermarket bumper in a hard recovery you've likely bent these areas then the bumper will rub the body and squeek like hell.

 

@TwistedTLM4 as long as there is still enough to weld the reinforcement plates to, which there looks to be.

 

I should be able to cut the bolt tabs off where they are mangled and then weld the plates in there somehow.

 

Plates ordered over a week ago, funds sent, still no word on a ship date.....

 

Plates arrived today! As advertised. Will put plates on as soon as dealership gives me my truck back. Pics to follow.

 

Worked like a charm! Bumper is rock solid!

Thanks @Skell !

 

@Skell will these work on a third gen?

 

will these work with a MOB TOWN front recovery bar?? Would the MOB TOWN bar need to be drilled out for the grade 8 hard wear??

 

@timinNC
The font recovery bar will need drilled out, same drill bit that's needed for the reinforcement plates should work, or a die grinder and burr bit, whoever is installing the plates should be able to handle it easily.

 

@the.sight.picture I don't think so

 

damn shipping to oregon is expensive

 

Oh what the hell, my shipping settings are jacked up. I it's 7.20 to ship anywhere in the lower 48!

 

let us know once you get this shipping fixed. waiting to order.
