vandebogart 01-21-2009, 06:24 AM Nice pics
Drake 01-21-2009, 06:42 AM Nice pics. I wish we would get some friggin' snow. The weather here is such B.S. It's barely been above 20 degrees for the past two weeks and it hasn't done a damn thing but be unbearably cold.
S2X01 01-21-2009, 06:44 AM at least it's been 20 there!! that would be damn tropical here!!
and nice pix dude......looks good!
Drake 01-21-2009, 06:47 AM at least it's been 20 there!! that would be damn tropical here!!
lol Yeah I talked to my cousins in Flushing, MI and you guys can keep that single digit/ sub-zero crap up there. I'm thin-blooded... if it drops below 60, I'm cold.
:kalt-big:
S2X01 01-21-2009, 06:53 AM yeah....it's ridiculous. all my cleaning stuff in the garage is frozen solid!!
sucks.
it was 13 when i woke up this morning....took the trash out in shorts.....not too bad.
crazy how 13 seems warm when it's been -10 for 2 weeks
skoobysx 01-21-2009, 07:59 AM Nice pics!
tameroflions 01-21-2009, 08:10 AM nice pics, wheres your spare? didnt look like it was mounted underneath.
Broden21 01-21-2009, 08:33 AM well its been like between 7-30 here in the past week and it only snowed about 3 inches but none of it sticked on the roads cuz they put so much f***in slat down. i hate it. but off road there is snow,
and tameroflions yeah i took that out from under there a long time ago. i had it on the roof but then i was really top heavy and it was annoying me. and i put on my hi-jack and my tire was in the way. i want to put a swing bumper on it but don't have the cash for it right now. so its been in trunk just laying down
dezurtrat 01-21-2009, 01:59 PM Nice pics!!!
Xterra Mike 01-21-2009, 05:12 PM you gotta stop havin all that fun without me.

why don't you get Richard over on NOAS build you a tire carrier? He did mine for $225
He is in High Point, NC He can also build you a rear bumper too.
I highly recommend his work
Broden21 01-21-2009, 09:33 PM sorry mike it was in the middle of the day. i knew you were at work.
and yeah im mostlikely going to have someone build me bumpers, just they are at the bottom of the list of things i want to do. i want to pay her off all the way before i start putting alot of money into it while its still my DD.
how is your roof rack holding up with the hi lift on there? are the holes elongating? i picked up the grade 8 hardware to mount it up, but im not sure if i wanna drill through the rack rail....does it seem sturdy still? and do you have any kind of lock washers on it, or just the wingnuts?
Broden21 01-22-2009, 08:04 AM here i made a how to for you EZ-hi-lift holder (http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?p=99415#post99415)
i havent had any elongating and no i just use plain washers.

I would get a ratchet strap to hold your spare down in the back. If you get into an accident or even some rugged trails, it could become a 70lb. projectile inside of your vehicle. When I have my 33's on, I strap the spare in the cargo area with a ratchet strap going from the cargo loops on the backseat diagonally across the tire to the tie-down at the back.

i have one of them cages in my truck it was there when i bought my truck. so i dont really have to worry about that. but thanks good idea for others.
aznboihoy03 01-22-2009, 09:22 AM Nice! well theres nothing wrong with wondering around :D

cool, thanks bud...i picked up some 1/2" grade 8 bolts, washers, and wingnuts, and some squishy neoprene rubber washers to help dissipate some of the force...i'm probably gonna pull the passenger's side rack rail off and drill them at 90* angles to minimize the gravitational force pulling on the metal
thanks for the pics
p.s. i didnt forget about the slider pictures for you....well, ok...i did...ill take some when i get home tonight
