New England B.S. Thread

there is no way that is worth 125 bucks...

 

Maybe not but that seems to be the going rate. All the ones I looked at were from 90-130 more for bolt on.

 

How much do you think it would be to have them welded on? Im not saying your wrong but i think 125 is pretty realistic. I would think it would be 125 or more to have them welded on. Jerry charges $100 bucks to install these and he can probably install them twice as fast them any other fabrication shop. Also think about his overhead, c&c machines are crazy expensive, he has to work that into the price. Well all i know is if i am buying these, i am going to get bolt on. i don't weld and the only guy i know that is a really good fabricator and welder usually charges $100 a hour.

 

^X2

 

I would guess that it's $125 because of the extra holes he has to drill so there's the CNC time, the plate washers and then all the grade 8 hardware that comes with it. I think the double cabs have 20 grade 8 hardware bolts.

 

I PMed Jerry this am with some of my questions. Once he gets back to me I am set to order next week. Mike did he mention the shipping going to a place of business or a house and did it matter

 

He metioned it to me when I called. It is cheaper to go to a business. A good friend of mine owns a business in N Attleboro ight on RT1 they can go there if you guys want.

 

Thanks Rob that would be fine by me.

 

Jerry got back to me about questions and said he could do the 10degree like Robs no problem

 

I had mine welded on for $100.
It took about 3 hours,the legs,plates and gussets had to be welded seperately.

 

Seems worth it to get the bolt-ons. Easily removable if necessary. As long as the bolts can take the stress.

 

Each 1/2" Grade 8 bolt has a load rate of 17,000lbs each and their tensile strength is 21,300lbs. There is 10 per side. I think they can hold up the truck.

 

will 31x10.5 rub on my truck stock?

 

I agree if you want to remove for touch up or resale alot easier. All the checking I have done shows the bolt ons are just as strong as weld ons. You get grade hardware and plenty of them, you use factory hole as well as drill a few yourself. All the pics and videos show the bolt ons are very strong and capable

 

I don't think I have any tools capable of drilling through my frame at the moment. Maybe an excuse to buy a new drill.

 

Hey this isn't New England.

 

Or an excuse for a Mod Day. Get the sliders painted up or whatever you are useing and then a beer drinking tool using funfest

 

That looks very relaxing !
Hope you 2 are having a great time .

 

We are having a blast. I told Mary we could get massages or a cabana for the days she picked the cabana. It comes with a cooler stocked with soda, beer, and water as well as an agent who we call on a cell phone and she will bring us anything we need.

 

Nice! looks like you guys are having a great time! enjoy!
