Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Going to have to try it out! thanks bro

 

Thanks for the link. I am going to check them out. Worst case scenario, I am going to chop the resi mounts and tack weld them in couple of spots so they don't flop around. Let me know when you get them. I will appreciate if you can take some pictures and put them up so that way I can see if they are worth the money.

Anyone in here using Jerry's front bumper reinforcement brackets? What about people that has Brute Force bumper. Are you guys having any issues with resi mounts flopping around after chopping them up?

 

I’ve had my brute force bumper with kings for over a year now. When I installed the King’s and had to cut the mounts I was worried they would be flimsy. They have held good, but I am doing this just to be sure. Tack welding the resi mounts to the frame would be difficult due to the resi mounts being aluminum and the frame steel.

 

Need help with installing tracks onto my shell. Can anyone with tracks on their shell tell me if the racks run parallel or do the taper a bit towards the rear of the shell? Can you possibly get me measurements front and rear width?

Ive read tracks being i stalled both ways. I was always under the thought that they should run parallel width all the way front to back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

 

I was going to bend little steel strip and make a hole in the resi mount and screw the resi mount to metal strip and weld the other end of the strip to the frame. Not sure if that will work good enough. Main reason I don't want to cut the resi mounts is because when tires are deflated I still rub on the resi mounts a little bit on full lock.

 

I can’t speak about king resi mounts but my ads mounts are flat so i was able to just sandwich the mount between the frame and the brute force reinforcement

 

Thanks Rob! You always come through! That actually sounds like a great idea! Got any pictures?

 

Same. If you look closely, they just sandwich the mounting plates. Has worked like a charm. Also just finished the Pacific Crest Overland Route (PCOR) from truckee to el centro and Billy’s Brute Force Fab front hybrid bumper has been awesome along the 1,200+ mile trip with a few winching events to boot.

 

You can kind of see it here.

 

I want thise breaks

 

Thanks!

 

Anybody have their

$40 baofeng UV-5r ham radio long range handheld UV5R dual band 3800mah rechargeable two way radio walkie talkies for adults with earpiece,speaker mic and programming cable full kit (black-1pack)

baofeng UV-5r mounted in their rigs? Trying to find a good mount for it to keep it from just floating around the center console/shifter area

 

I think @thebaker cut and flattened his resi mounts to sandwich it similar to how i did it.

 

lol...that is exactly what I was thinking about doing. I think I am going to stick with Brute Force brackets and make these suckers work

 

Almost done!

 

Git Sum Karan!

 

Getting ready for Rubicon!

Will try, but not sure yet. I was suppose to go in September with some Jeep friends but we will what happens as we get closer

 

Life is good at the moment. First night ever away from my kiddos. Ocean and harbor horn going to sooth us to sleep tonight in a king sized bed. Will find out tomorrow if grandma survived watching the kiddos.
