Your angle looks very similar to mine. How much lift does the shackle give you?

 

Well that was a bitch to do alone.

 

Why? Now imagine if they were steel lol, but using a jack helps if you didn't do that.

 

If they were steel you'd def. need a jack. I used my legs to hold it in place. New Ryobi drill came in handy too..

 

Nice, that's the first thing I'd try with steel or aluminum lol. Don't feel like dragging the jack out. Had to for bolt-on sliders though

 

Those are on the way. I'll try them myself but will probably recruit some help. I installed them on my Xterra by myself when I had the flu but was also younger then.

 

I used my floor jack and a longer piece of wood inbetween jack and slider in order to distribute the weight and balance point. Once I got it balanced good enough it took a little finagling and fine adjustment to get the slider to line up with frame holes. Not too bad, but another person would help for sure.

 

Okay guys, just going through the channel guide looking for something to watch and found "The Toyota TRD Challenge, Vietnam". Who ever has cablevision it's on Velocity, ch150, at 8:30.

Good call. Channel 631 on fios. I'm bed ridden for the rest of the night. I can't move my shoulders after installing those skids.

 

Time to start again

 

Keeping my fingers crossed. Going to fazzios steel monday morning hopefully ill have my rebuild bumper tacked up. And weld on my sliders. Since i have access to a mig/tig welder

 

Definitely, nice meeting you too Joe

 

So im thinking 1/4" for the plate for the front bumper that should be good right?

 

That too. But I need rotator cuff surgery and I'm too big of a pussy to get it.

 

Yea that sucks

 

¿Que?

 

Im going to be building a new front bumper. Is 1/4" too heavy is my question

 

Ohh gotcha. You can do the whole thing out of 1/4. I'd atleast use 1/4" for the main structure like where it bolts to the truck and the cradle for the winch. Then the rest can be 3/16" or tubing depending what style your going for.

 

Gotcha
