Alright I'll throw a weld down it next time I have the tire off.

if nothing else its just a little extra glue. 15 mins that could save 2 hours on the trail

yup, 10 extra minutes in the garage can save a 2-3 hour trail fix.

And not a very fun one at that...

It's just a shock, if it breaks on the trail, take it off. But I still say beef is best, buy it once, build it once. If anything, it will save you money if you build it better.


Diggin the look on 35's...I kinda want a B2

You just got your ranger done! lol

Those are the same mounts that I need but with a stud top mount.

I will say though my shock is mount the other way to where the body is on the bottom, and yes mines not upside down has stamped on it that says what the bottom and whats the top.

 

[disciplerocks]

Thanks Kyle. And yeah its just a shock. When it broke I just removed it and continued on. Even drove it home no problem.

And the shocks I used were larger at the body end of them and fit the F250 mount so thats why I mounted that way. Actually my rear shocks are the same way.

 

[dangerranger83]

Mine say not to mount upside down, but I dont know if that applies for gas or fluid shocks though or both.

 

[disciplerocks]

Got a plug wired into the hinge area of the door for easier removal and install of the full door.

Now I need to find an easier way to remove and reinstall the rear window.

As for the glass could you do it like jeep door hinges? I'll try and find a pic of what I'm talking about. EDIT: found them kinda... These are for a samurai but they're the same design. ( and I wouldn't get these they're big $ but it wouldn't be hard to cut your hinges like this). http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/inde...terior-body/billet-removable-door-hinges.html

 

[disciplerocks]

Those wont work unless I drilled holes in the top of the hatch. The hinges bolt to the inner lip of the window frame. Exactly like Explorer ones. But thanks for the link.
