Designed my rack and rain gutter mounts on CAD. Made the rack from 1 inch EMT. And yes my fat butt can stand on it. My canoe is an 18 foot AL Grumman. I use it for fishing and A Lot of duck hunting! This was taken in Saginaw bay for duck opener last year.
I am very curious about this as well. I am looking into replacing my stock setup with something that is comparable that would give me a slightly higher lift than stock. I do tend to haul camping and hunting stuff on occasions so good ride and still be able to do the offroad thing is my goal.
I'm heading to Irons this afternoon for a family camping thing. Probably go to the big ox roast thing there in irons this week. But i have to be back home Saturday to work. If your around give me shout.
Love the design!
I recently designed and built my roof rack using CAD and built it out of 1.000 EMT. I did not do sides for the same reason you do not want the back on. I haul a lot of hunting stuff on top, ie. canoe, goose and duck decoys, wood, deer. So sides and or front and rear basket...
I've been dabbling about heading down there. My brother is a jeeper and he said it was a blast. Let me know next time you head there. I'd love to try my ole rust bucket on some stuff.
Thanks for all the help!! I finished everything last night! Drives great! It was just one of those projects that when ya think ya have everything ya need to dig into it ya don't because of careless work done prior. Anyway it's all done now and I am very happy i was able to learn how the...
I could of done that yes. I ended up just installing it after greasing the bearing the best I can while it was pressed in there. I do have to pick up some studs for the drive plate that I had forgotten about that the PO had over tightened and stripped as well. 4 to be exact. Hope the stealership...
Thanks for all the help gents! I received my parts yesterday. Couldn't work on the LC due to adulting with kids in sports. But after examining the parts i received i do have one question for you smart guys. The spindle i removed has a brass bushing on the inside where as the one i received...
OK thanks i plan on dabbling with it this evening. Like someone has said it's probably my inner wheel bearing not seated properly. I should be getting my parts in from cruiseroutfitters on Monday. So tonight i'm changing diff fluid and tackling a busted rear bump stop on rear axle. I love...
SO i have not yet received the parts yet, but i decided to finish the pass side rotors and what not. I am a bit gun shy of installing the spindle nuts and to seat the bearing. I am afraid to over tighten and strip the spindle on this side.
What i have found is that when i do install the nut...
Clear on that! I am waiting for Cruiser outfitters to open then placing the order. Thank you all for the help, i will advise when i get it all back together.
That's awesome!! I had to work most the weekend, but did start to wrench on mine. Ran into a hack job that someone performed on my front axles. Went to do brakes, rotors and calipers and found that someone decided that a screwdriver/chisel was the best way to put the spindle nuts on and over...
Looking for some help. I have my ride on the lift to do brakes, calipers and rotors, along with re-grease or replace wheel bearings. Well this is the first time i have done this on my LC. Short story... previous owner had work done at a shop that i would not let work on a skateboard. They...
My rig is bone stock. Other than a roof rack i built myself. I have only had it for about 3 months. But i have found a new addiction other than waterfowl hunting. The main purpose i bought it was for that but now its more than that.
I live in Allegan. If your ever in the area hit me up. Lets do a big meet up sometime. There is a pretty good local brewery in Allegan and then we have the state game area for cruising prior to the drinks.
