DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

1/8" aluminum, same as the other mounts i sell.

 

I feel like it should have two bolt holes on the top instead of two for better weight distribution on the rails?

I will say... that on the ones I have from someone else are built kinda like that, and to help with noise I take some fuel line and cut it and slice it down the middle and use it like a cushion against the side of the bed. No idea if that makes sense or not.

 

That was my first thought. Take a section of rubber tubing and place it on the back end to cut down on the chatter while off road.

 

I know what you are talking about. I have to say that i have not heard my mounts making any noise at all. If these rattle then i have a solution, i just dont want to have to do any additional work to these to sell them...

For your enjoyment!

I would think you leave it up to the purchaser to solve their own rattle. Looks like a solid product to me. I'll be getting a set for sure.

 

did that with mine and no more noise at all from my Hi-Lift... so much better on and off road!

 

Also as far as weight distribution, the jack is only ~40lbs which is ~20lbs on each bracket, i think it will be ok. But that is why i need to test them before i sell them...

 

What is your testing process like?

 

Free test samples?

Jambo sounds like a good place to test....

I mean if you are not taking your truck on trails or anything how can you really test them unless you go on some really nice trails?

 

I like your thinking

Well be Beta Tester for free sample

 

I'll beta test for half price.

 

Mhmmm how about 1/2 of 1/2?

 

I'll test for you, just provided mounts and hi-lift jack(since I dont own one yet) and I have plenty of locks. I may want a set once I get a Hi-Lift... I also may or may not remember to return them upon completion of testing.

As for locking the jack to the truck I think it may be more of a deterrent to use a cable lock to a tie down in the bed. Its atleast 1 more step to get the jack off the truck, either 2 more bolts that have to be undone or cutting the cable lock.

 

I should give one to @danbow to test out when he goes out to bridgeport! That dude will put them to the test for sure! Haha

No i just need to mount them and make sure they mount well and the jack sits below the rails. And i need to test the durability... which is where Dan comes in....

 

I'd be all over testing these if I didn't already have quickfist and hi-lift mounts. Looks like a good product.

 

We can throw a set on your truck to test them out at Jambo. I should have my truck back Wednesday.

Locking them down is really just a deterrent, if someone wants it bad enough then can get it. I would just like to prevent people from doing a "grab and go"

 

Well i may need you to mount mine up for a trip and i would like to see how they hold up after a trip in the back of your truck.

I also fully expect you to climb up insane hills and almost roll down them in order to get a "full test" on these! haha

 

If I can't break them, there is a good chance they can't be broken.

 

Not a fan of the logo. It looks nice and all but its still a logo.

 

all feedback is appreciated!
