Sure, itd be easier to liftmate the wheel and stick something under it.

 

Liftmate = lift the truck and then lift the drooping wheel with another jack???

#LearningToOffRoad

 

Liftmate is a strap that goes on the wheel so you lift the "wheel" with the jack.

 

They’re the same tubing. So yes.

 

Ahh cool, thanks! Makes more sense.

 

DOUBLE BAM!

 

Been a long time coming waiting for the time and the weather to cooperate. Best mod to date. Haven't gone for a test drive yet but I'm sure it's good for at least 10 hp. Maybe 20.



Thanks Randall!

 

It's not in the middle!

 

@Mobtown Offroad discontinued those rear bumper side hoops. Said Joe in a previous post somewhere.



*** I suggest an upwards angle to match the slider angle.

 

He discontinued another style. These ones are still very much alive and kicking. I do know what post you’re referring to though.

 

What do you think of my angled upwards to match the slider angle idea?

 

I think angled would be awesome, but I think it’d be hard to achieve. You’d need a serious miter cut to be able to mount it to the side of the bumper but have it still protect the bedside, yet remain nice and tight to the body.

 

Oh, I was going to but there are two reasons I didn't.
1) I was afraid the sliding window would harm it. Because I use it all the time. 2) Because I use the sliding window all the time it would be hidden!

Now it's never going to be harmed or hidden

I even thought about in the middle down on the window moulding like the TW decal at the top but two reasons I didn't.

1) it didn't fit all the way and I didn't want to chance fucking it up trimming it. 2) Way too fucking low. I wanted it up top for all to see.

I had it taped in a bunch of places for test fits. One was on the front windshield but then I thought what if I get a crack and am forced to replace it. Side windows go up and down. So I figured top back next to the world as close possible. Left side of my back window is Taco decals. Right side (for now) is everything else.

So yea, me being me, I kinda overthought the Fuck outta it.

 

Holy shit that’s a very thorough thought process! I approve! That decal should last for many years.

 

Well, there's no limit to how far it can stick out. Just add a center bar for support. I mean within reason. I'm envisioning all kinds of crazy shit!

 

Lol! You’d want it as close to the truck within reason. Some of these trails get pretty tight and you want to stay as narrow as possible.

 

You say thorough, because you're kind. The doctors have another term.

 

Fuck that, I want to leave a path of destruction in my wake! Hehehehe. Naturally I jest about all of this because once again, I have no knowledge or experience.

Why I always hope for and count on ya'll for a good ol' honest to straighten me out. Otherwise who knows where I'd wind up.

Like I'm already envisioning in my mind the same kinda setup in the front. LOLOLOLOL

 

It sounds like you need an exo skeleton on your truck!

 

Exactly! Like everwhere! Or a removable tank skin. Especially if I try to hang with ya'll!
