Your BFG's went bald in less than 30,000 miles? That's unbelievable

These came in today. They look beefy. Came with five different lens covers (red,blue,yellow,clear and wavy clear). Nice quality out of the box.

 

[MScruiser]

These are the ebay ones that are better than the ARBs?

 

[InkMing]

And they came with all the lenses? Nice!

What are you putting on your Hundy to replace these?

Not mine. Just sharing

 

[Willy beamin]

Yes these are sourced on eBay. I have no idea how they compare to the ARBs. I do know I didn't break the bank with this set. And they came with five lenses. Kudos to BTUMAN for pointing them out.

Got my OE spacers from @beno yesterday. He also threw in some Nalley Toyota Swag.

Thanks, Onur.

Yea I'm hoping to rivet the whole frame for extra support tomorrow and then get some wood to cover it up

 

[arich]

Photo is foggy, are those ready made Joints and corners? No welding? Where did you get those?

Easysteelsolutions from AU?

Sort of like what you get from ez-tube but these needed trimming to fit into the tubes and had one break off in the tube when i was putting the frame in together. These dont seem so sturdy so I'm planning to rivit all the joints with L brackets and if there's enough clearance on the sides I'll add some wooden sheets for extra rigidity

Easysteelsolutions from AU?

i sourced these locally they're meant for kitchen cabinets, connectors were approx $0.10 each

Thanks for info.

Here's a quick pic if the post strut spacer install. I know it's subtle but I think it takes enough of the take away. Not enough room for two.
Ms cruiser.
Before you install can you throw your spacers on a flatbed scanner and sent me the pic.
I might try cutting them out of 1/2 or 1/4 inch derlin on my laser cutter.

 

[MScruiser]

Will do.

I'll try to do it on monday when Im back in the office.

Does that entitle me to a set of your custom spacers once they are made?

I'm interested now.

FWIW, UHMW would probably work better than derlin.

 

[arich]

MsCruiser. If I can make them they're yours.
What are those acronyms. Im not a machinist b

 

[MScruiser]

Woohoo.

UMHW is a really high density polymer. It's extremely durable. We use it in mining applications (coating the inside of 40 ton dump truck buckets). It's expensive, but I bet you can find some scraps on eBay. I have always thought it would be cool to make a steel skid plate, but put a sheet of this on the underside. Durable, but once it gets too beat up, just replace. I am not a chemist (only an engineer), but my understanding is that it is the most dense polymer available.

For those of you with ICON cdcv resi's in hard to reach and read (dial) places. Use your iPhone and reverse the camera function. This allows you to get a top view of your resi settings and dial them equally into the setting you want. My resi valve dials face the underneath of my rig so a visual is impossible without utilizing the iPhone (or a mirror) or removing the resi.
Cheers
Enjoy your Sunday

How about I 1-up you and actually send you a CAD file I just created?
