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

My buddy just fab'd this up for me to test out! Made out of 1/8" aluminum, i am going to mount a hilift jack on them and see how they hold up! If they are good i am going to work out a way to sell them to fellow TW members!

 

Nice! Let us know how it works. I am wanting to get a hilift soon.

 

Yes sir!

 

I would want a set for double quick fist mounts.

 

They would be the same, i may work with him on the shape of them to spice things up a bit. I am having him cut and bend them, i will drill holes for quick fists or hi lifts as necessary. He has another job so i want to keep his production time down as best as possible!

 

Price will be $20 for a set of quick fist mounts. I havent seen a set for any cheaper, i have seen a couple used sets go for $20 but you have to be quick to get them! These will be brand new made from aluminum so they will be lighter and will not rust!

Also still in test phase as this was just made this morning! I will probably be picking them up in the next couple weeks or so.

 

Looking for some big tractor tires (rears). Enough sidewall for sledgehammering and heavy enough (~200lbs) for flipping. Free or virtually free is appreciated. Figured some of you may know someone out in the country that has something they want off their land. DFW area please.

 

crossfit?

 

Do I do crossfit? No, but I do calisthenics 99% of the time and 1% to do cardio because I hate running.

 

Probably be limited to xbox saturday evening. I work till 4 and im going to the range Sunday.

 

That's a fair price. I think Relentless has been cheapest I've found so far at $29 for the bare metal dual quick fist mounts. They include the T-Nuts that slide in the rails but most people should be able to find something for less than $9, making yours cheaper still.

 

On the Hilift, I would recommend that you have them out farther from the bed, so will need some angle to them.

 

Call bridgeport OHV. I see them laying around everywhere out there!

 

I didnt realize they came with the T-nuts. Maybe i can find a bulk deal on some that can save me some money...

Yeah i may have him put a bend on the hi-lift mounts, but for now i plan to use a long bolt, 2 nuts and a wing nut. I use the 2 nuts to space the lift and the wing nut to hold it all on the mount.

 

Pelfrey called, bumper and sliders are ready!

 

Sweet! when are you going to get them?

 

They should ship out tomorrow, im not sure how freight shipping works but im going to plan the install for the weekend of the 10th.

 

Nice, they should be here with plenty of time for the 10th. My bumper hasnt started being made and I'm about to order the winch for when I do get it.

 

Ahh yes, i need to figure out wiring a winch also.

 

I've got a nice flat garage and plenty of tools.
