What have you done to your ride lately?

[Oswego]

No other Philly guys in here yet? Damn I figured we would pick up a couple. I'm all over the city with my TOR sticker.

I'm getting ready to adjust my front bumper and pull my winch to re pack the grease in it. Im debating between skids or snorkel....or a new pistol.

Well, what do the new shackle hangers look like? I heard kevin was revamping them. BTW an air chisel makes quick work of those rivits, granted your neighbors won't like you very much, but much easier than grinding them down.

 

[Pd3]

Was not so much the grinding as it was the cold! The shackles turned out great but was dark by the time we were done so no pics of the finished product. I will snap a couple tomorrow.

 

[AlienXtx]

You putting on a shackle flip Chad?

 

[AlienXtx]

Never mind...

 

[Pd3]

Yep got er done today. Now I just need to swap out the shocks seeing how I forgot to bring them with me. Oh well as long as I get all this done before Moab I will be happy. So much more to do in the next 3 months.

Badass man, can't wate to see some pics.

 

[drew02a]

Yeah, I think we all want to see the new design!

Hell yeah we would...

 

[Pd3]

Well, it looks pretty close to the old design. the diff is that the frame bracket has been shortend in order to help with steel deflection as time goes on. The Shackle plates are sitting at an angle of 42.5 so real close to being spot on at 45. I gained 1/4 - 1/2" of lift over what they were before with the AP springs. One side note, even if you were not going to do the flip it would not be such a bad idea to grind off the rivits and remove the stock brackets. The frame was pretty crunchy with scale but my truck has seen a ton of time on the beach so your mileage may vary?

 

[drew02a]

I was surprised by how much corrosion was on my frame under the stock brackets too.

mine was rusted to shit as well under those plates. i think they must install those hangers then paint the way mine looked when i pulled them off.
