are they just friction fit? what keeps them from moving? like if you cranked too hard on the turn buckle wouldn't it rotate some more ?

There are rubber strips under the brackets that serves to protect the finish on the rather expensive brush bar and also creates a "slip resistant" surface. I'm sure you could crank down on the turnbuckles enough to eventually make the brackets move a little but I can't see why you would. The current tension will easily move the average limb over the light bar which was the goal. The fender mounted mirrors will fold in and tuck under the risers.

thanks for the explanation

thanks for the explanation

The goal was to add a support that didn't require welding or any other method that might damage the finish on the brush bar.

I'm trying to create the illusion that I am a serious off road guy.

Well they are still practical. You can dry your socks on them.

Not to mention that it gives the birds a cool place to sit while they crap on my hood. I'm all about doing my part for nature.

DEAD GAUGES ....
Just prior to Christmas all of my engine related instruments (oil pressure, fuel gauge, water temp. & charging) failed.
Logic says look for a blown fuse however that wasn't the case. Out comes the instrument cluster for a closer look.
To add to the mystery, everything works when powered up on the bench but once again fails when put back into the vehicle. Molded into the back of the cluster is a "super highway" of copper strips that provides power to the various instruments. Four additional copper strips power this super highway. As it turns out one of these strips had arched but the damage wasn't visible to the naked eye. Fortunately it "sparked" and revealed itself. Rob fabricated a "jumper" from copper and all is well.

Starting to look like a real Cruiser shop.......
Not included in the photo is a 71 and 80 Series.

Running a 3" exhaust to the back of a 77 Series is somewhat challenging but doable. Although there is a muffler installed, the 1HZ has a very nice rumble with the 3" exhaust.

Thanks, I have since installed some very nice rubber mats (Land Cruiser logo) front and rear. Thanks for the reply.

The beginnings of a skid plate that isn't made of plastic.
