South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Adjusting the screws doesn't do anything?

 

the rubber bumpers only make the hood sit taller. if I lower them, I get real bad hood flutter

 

Cool...I was wondering if there were many people on here from around Greenwood.

 

this is the thread I found, that made me think I had a solution

yup, that link I just posted

 

Ahh gotcha. Maybe try a rubber spacer with double sided outdoor 3M tape between the hood and the rubber bumpers before you cut into your hood?

 

yeah, i am not a fan of cutting, but considering......

 

yep, rides better for sure

 

Talk about taking a pounding....I'd be walking with a gimp for several weeks

 

May the Schwartz be with you

 

No man or hood would stick up after that punishment

 

Interesting. I'd want to look at other body panel alignment for a reason it's off. Has it always been off? That's a cool fix though. I've been noticing my hood flapping at ++interstate speeds++

 

@JimboAnz Did you use the

$34 Energy Suspension 9.4101G UNIVERSAL MOUNT

Energy Suspension 9.4101G or did you use the

$151 8.4109G Body Mount Set-Reg, Access & Dbl Cab

8.4109G full body mount set?

 

$34 9.4101G UNIVERSAL MOUNT

9.4101G is what I did. only the front 2

 

Any one here with a gen 2 long bed be interested in a bak flip cover? I might part with mine or trade for bed rack.

 

Ok, I am gonna say it- this is the first time I have seen "like 420 high" and "i am pretty anal AF" in consecutive sentences! Well done!






As for the hood- I wonder if it has anything to do with the ditch lights, combined with your mileage? I do not recall seeing anywhere that ditch lights/brackets helped to caused this, but I also know you do lots of interstate driving...

 

yeah, IDK about the ditch lights. no misalignment up at the windshield.

 

Of course not- just wondering if the wind resistance from the ditch lights-near the windshield, has somehow help to lift the front outer edges of your hood??? IE- pushing down on the back, lifting up the front...?

Again, only say this since you drive. Lots of freeway miles.

 

And you put the thicker ones on top?

 

a definite possiblity
