HOw bout some pics of the new stickers

The new stickers are the same as the old stickers for now....

When will the second batch of bumpers be shipping?

Ok Secret Squirel, I have to say this:

You seem alot like the member known as NorthBayRP. (The SAS'ed silver 03 gives it away). You keep trying to sell your X but keep buying expensive mods. Not that it is any of my buisness but what up?

Jim you rock! Just recieved my stickers Fed-Ex. You are the man! I will be ordering a full set of skids as soon as Uncle Sam comes through. Thanks again for being an awesome manufacturer w/ amazing customer service!

yea it's me. I signed up with a new name, because my former girlfriend finds it necesarry to monitor this board, looking for me.

Not that she won't figure it out, but its worth a shot.

as for the X... I am living part time in S.F. and park the X outsideM on the street. I am working on buying another car, so I can leave the X at my parents house. (hopefully) But if that doesn't work out, I will need to sell the X.

But as long as I have it, I will continue to work on it, and beat the hell out of it.

Uh oh, I just blew your cover!

I doubt she will be lurking the board hard enough to find me with a new name. Going to look at cars this afternoon... Hopefully something that will allow me to keep the X too...

SO here is the Dealie.
Most know of the 1/4 inch of squeeky space there is to get the lift gate past the high lift.

The 3 dollar answer hangs in an auto store near you. I went to advanced auto and bought some door trim. Little thin black piece of plastic to protect the edge of the door!! I applied the strip to the affected side of the lift gate. There is still enough breathing room AND the probability of dinging up that side of the lift gate is greatly reduced.

Enjoy!

Okay, can't wait to get my rear bumper, but since I have the front mounted with a winch now...


Had to send this picture in...

By the way Jim... when is the rear bumper and rest of the skids going to be shipped?

your fairlead's dirty Rob, wanna' buy a new one?

Well once I get my synthetic line do you need a winch cable?

Got one of them for sale too :p
Think I might use your hvy duty crimpers this week?

I'll see if I can get them for this weekend...

I'll pm you when I find out.

Ordered Front Bumper and engine skid last week. After dragging my hitch on Broken arrow 3 times, Bren told me to "Go ahead and order the rear bumper you want".......WHEEEEEE!

Aahhhh, the old, scrape the hitch on the red rocks.. Very niice

How many tries did it take to drag the hitch? And did DBAK have to jump up and down on your rear bumper do make it drag!

Hey, I wasn't there (I went yesterday) And like I told you, I'd help you through that trail problem free, Ty's just a rabblerouser type. A real ne'er do well..

Well after much internal debate on which rear swing arm to get, Calmini or Shrock, I have added the Shrockworks bumper to my order.
I prefer Calmini's design with the tire being centered, but Jim's Hi-lift jack mount and great customer service won me over.....well that and the discount since I had just ordered the front bumper last week.

Uggghhh...now I gotta write the check to pay my visa bill.

The centered tire blocks most of your view...a mount to one side leaves at least some view.

I got a clear fresnel sheet to mount on the rear hatch glass...the kind that gives you a wide angle view from the rearview, so I'll potentially be able to maximize the visibility out the back, despite the tire in the way.



This should work with any tire carrier option...I'll be trying it out on the Shrock, if I ever find the time to mount the bumper... :rolleyes:

...and also the kind that's great for instantaneous combustion of random things, bugs, wood, etc if you get out and play with it in direct sunlight

For anyone else that's interested, I'm talking with Jim now about a rear bumper with the hi-lift mounts set so that it's crossways/diagonal instead of straight up. I like having the extra length of my 60" hi-lift, but it would get caught on everything if it was mounted straight up and down. I'll let you guys know how it works if Jim can work his magic

goof ball.



Fresnel, not concave/convex lens.

no no no, fresnels are like 10,000 times better than concave/convex. you can focus the sunlight into an uber beam of light... I remember writing my name in some wood, moving it as quick as I would a pencil, leaving singed burn marks. Fun stuff, hehe.

cool, I'll just start storing tinder in the cargo hold...

Has anyone received word as to when the second run of rear bumpers is going out? I had been told a week ago Friday...
