NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Nice, nice.
I'm hoping to join the party next week or so. I dropped off the front remote reservoir mounts at the local welding shop to have them cut them up a bit to fit with my bumper reinforcements - at $35, can't complain.
As for the rear mounts, I'm in contact with Rebel/King to convince them that the mounts don't fit my truck and I'm not installing them wrong. Gotta shoot a video tonight but here's an idea of what's going on

 

This is what I got for my rear resi mounts. Ask JDAM though he has the same for you.

How do they attach?

 

Weld them on, takes 10 minutes to do if you have a shop do it plus this way you can put the resi exactly where you want it.

Let me know what you end up doing with your front resi mounts to modify them, ill have to do mine when I put the frame reinforcements on.

 

The stock fuse box can still be opened. Not quite as easy as without the plate in the way but still easy enough. I personally like the drivers side cause it means less wire to run everywhere. From the battery to the aux fuse and everything. Plus right next to where i have it mounted is the firewall gromet so getting wires into the cab is pretty easy.

 

so can i cut off the extension that i have circled on both sides?

 

Don't cut there is a bolt under them that you take out and then they slide out

 

Thanks! good thing i asked...

 

They are held on with red loctite so may need some force to get out

 

Are any of you running the Relentless Fab hood hinge Cb mounts? I got mine installed and went to install the cable but with there isnt enough clearence for the cable. I tried a "90" adapter and it worked but when the hood was closed it didnt let the hood sit flat.

 

oh noes! don't tell me that, i am having some made for me. have you tried something like this? that's probaly what i'm gonna be doing, or something similar.

 

I have the room for it, but I don't have the need for it yet.

 

I'll take a picture soon of there isn't one in my build already. I'm munching some panda express right now.

 

My ARB didn't come with the bolt plate so I did cut that section since you need something there to bolt to.

 

@northwesttaco , Rebel Offroad got back to me. King made a new bracket and they will be shipping me the new ones within 3 days.
@velillen , here's that picture. It wasn't a FireRing, but something similar. FireRings work fine, though.

 

Mmmm panda.

I just got done with surgery today. I'll be out of the game a few weeks. I've got some things I need to install too... like my lca skids. And reinstall my bed rack

 

How much are the new brackets? Ill be needing those

 

I'm not sure, I think they are just shipping me them for my troubles since the current ones can't be used for much.

 

Still waiting on parts here...

 

When I recover better, you guys are welcome over here to do some work.
