Keystone State Thread

I'm new to the 4x4 world, are you guys saying that Fabfour products are no good?

 

My comment was in regard to the orange hook isolator on the winch. The hook is supposed to be in the isolator, not just hanging around.

As far as fab fours go, I can't comment on their quality. I will say their approach angle is horrible. The bumper hangs down way to far. How much do they weigh?

 

I dont know how much they weigh I haven't really looked into them, I just saw someone else post the picture from the show and i wanted to see what it really looked like live, because you cant really tell from pics.

 

Well, if you're in the market for a new bumper I would suggest that you look at the tried and true vendors that support us here on TW.

Good is relative. It'd make a great boat anchor.

Good advise, I did just install demello sliders and I really like them.

Good call! Did I miss anyone else?

 

I hate everything about that fab four crap bumper.

 

Haha just had to shamelessly throw them in as I have all their gear. Btw you send stickers with that skid?? I need stickers to slap on right beside my cbi ones. Haha can't wait for tomorrow.

 

I thought the fabfour bumper looks much better in person opposed to pictures. They are quite heavy though , I believe just shy of 200 lbs

 

Yup, there's a decal in the hardware box. You should have two tracking numbers. The skids take a bit longer to get where they're going usually.

 

Bumper alone no way!

 

I bought this fall of 2015 for work then the company was sold. I have no use for it now it's like new! Will deliver with 75 miles of Richlandtown, PA or ship in US ! $999.00 Please I mean no harm posting in here you all live closest to me.

 

Hey anybody familiar with... I want to get a sos shackle flip. And new rear 12" shocks. But I'm also thinking of doing the bamf Shock relocate too. But the shackle flip would be easier. If I'm gonna do the shackle flip how much will the shock relocate help/add (droop/flex) if any? Is the shock relocate worth the extra work?

 

Shock relocate gets 2" or so of travel, as I recall, which you'll need to take advantage of your shackle flip.

 

Haha see your not helping me save any money. O well. Gotta spend it on something.

 

Unless you have stock rear suspension now doing a shock relocate and longer shocks will almost certainly improve rear travel.

Doing a shackle flip on stock leafs is probably questionable anyway.

 

No it's not - ran stock leafs with a wheelers AAL and an ATO shackle flip for quite a while. Nice gains.
