Ontario BS Thread

Probably the same with any aftermarket skid. The OEM plastic tray on TRD Off Road models has a lot of drain holes for this reason. If it happens often, I'll stuff a bulb seal around the perimeter of the tank like commonly done on JLs between the fender and the flare.

 

I did.

 

Highlights of the RAP (Round Algonquin Park) 2020 trip with @ODSC1, a fellow Jeeper, an Xterra for the the first day and myself.
Started in Bancroft > Petawawa > Mattawa > North Bay > Huntsville > Home.
about 1000km round trip or so over 4 days.






































@tacoma16 add this to the front since both @ODSC1 and myself were on this trip
@ODSC1 Where are the photos you snapped of my wheel lift?

 

The guy just bought the bumper, maybe it wasn't bolted up correctly....

 

Rally like this. To bad I was not there.
Next time hopefully.

 

oh, were you the 5th guy that was suppose to join us?
we plan to do it next year or so but in reverse (clockwise around Algonquin)

 

Is there an FB post on this somewhere? ARB is pretty outspoken for omitting recovery points on the bumper, so no good spots to attach a snatch strap.

 

Did not.even know.about.this...
Must have missed it somehow.
The summer is young......

 

It wasn't bolted up correctly, he's friends with a buddy of mine. I'm guessing he's pretty new to the scene....

 

Well, you technically not supposed to even pull by that bumper even if it's bolted correctly....
That's why you got frame tow point.

Hopefully it's a quick repair for him

 

I guess that's one of the downfalls to an ARB...have to spend more money on the appropriate tow hook.

the last one is interesting as the 2 brackets bolt onto the little wing stubs. https://youtu.be/pOORyMPzTN0?t=101

 

I was more thinking like the ARB one...

 

Incompatible with most coilover remote resi mounts except the BP51's. Good marketing strategy

 

oh boy that's beefy...

 

They bolt to the same location on the crossmember as the OE TRD OR recovery hook, but cradle and gusset the crossmember. Good design as long as you kept the OE braces that connect the front crossmember to the jacking point crossmember.

 

oh a tiny hook welded up can do the job, does the job every time

 

Done. If more photos turn up, tag me

 

If it was Marlin Perkins voice the camera crew would have put the bumper there just before taking the photo... (I got the reference... )
