The Insane Asylum DCLB build and XJ insanity

He asked about the gmc canyon hybrid release date

 

Never. Those things are harder to make pretty than the Colorado

 

It is, but no full hoop option.

The only thing I don’t like about the Mobtown is downward angle of the shackle mounts and winch opening.

 

Get a flat top then take it to your buddy and have him make some hoops. All you need is some 1.75x.120 HREW and then go to town.

 

Is it just aesthetics you don’t like about the shackles?

 

Damn, those lead times are up there with CBI.

 

Hmmm, true dat.

 

Assuming the bumper is wide enough to host the headlight hoops. It’d have to poke out a bit at the flare to fit the tube plus have room to account for frame/body flex to it doesn’t rub the body.

 

Yeah and it isn’t ideal to have them so low. What if you end up face down like Skip tends to do, then winch and shackles become unaccessible - especially if you have no option for a tug from the rear.

 

I can’t really think of a scenario where that’d be an issue. Only time it’d be inaccessible it’d be in mud, and then just reach into the mud lol

 

Technically I had to dig B's winch out when he ended up face down too in that one hole. Only way to avoid that would be to have the winch mounted in the grill or hood.

Oh and I slam my recovery points all the time they are getting recessed into the bumper.

 

Here is a top side view of the Victory 4x4. There is enough room for hoops, I believe. What I don’t like is the square opening for fogs.

 

Or have to dig it out no fun. Spent 45 min digging B's out

 

My Snapchat is messing up hard AF right now btw. I dunno whats going on.

 

I reset my phone and it helped some your messages are coming through. It's acting really weird IDK what the hell is going on.

 

Well that’s another reason, on obstacles where there is a big approach angle, the downward facing recovery points are going to get beat up and drug across rocks or into the dirt constantly.

 

You got some room there for hoops.

 

Having the shackles lower puts them right in line with the frame mounts. Putting them up higher adds to the bending moment and tweaks the frame more. Trade offs I guess.

 

Most pods you’ll use for fogs are square so Square cut outs should look good I would think. I cut my SOS fog light holes and made them suare

 

Seems you are tasting the merchandise at the new job already....lol
