A buddy of mine wants to fab some up, anyone got any pics of this setup? Did you go right through your frame?
Thanks

 

I just drilled and tapped the frame with some 1/2 grade 8 bolts. 3 on each of the two mounts we made. The Jeep has been resting on them before and they didnt budge. I will try and find some pics.

 

I drilled the rails for 4 bolts per mount but only used 3. I can jump up and down on them and they dont budge. I am not little either. (200 lbs) The high lift will lift the Jeep with these. We just used some flat plate to make the mounts. P.S. dont look at the factory pizza cutters. I havent had time to get the Iroks mounted yet.

 

So you just tapped the frame and didn't use a nut/lockwasher behind the mounting plate?? How thick is the frame in that area?

 

I made some Shrockworks look-alikes but gave up on trying to make them removeable. I wanted to copt their brackets, but it was gonna be more trouble than it was worth to me. Mine are just welded to the frame. I guess they are still removeble, you'll just need a sawzall or torch!

A few pics (sorry, none of how they're mounted).

 

Yeah I just tapped the frame holes. Used red lock tite and lock washers on the bolts. The frame is I think 3/16 right there but could be thicker on the back mount. I know I went through about 12 drill bits when it was all done. I have had the Jeep resting on one side rail before and it didnt budge so I must have done something right. I wanted them welded but my buddy didnt feel comfortable welding with the plastic gas tank right by the mount.

 

Here in Canada that voids your warranty if you weld to the frame. But man those look nice.....

 

So no bolts on the other side then right? Nice....I will pass that on to him...thanks a lot

 

Jeep voids your waranty if you sneeze on the damn thing!!

 

No I dont. I have 6 bolts per rail. I was goin to still tack weld it but not after the abuse I put it through. I like the fact that I can pull them off and touch up the paint. Without the rails my body panels would have been screwed after this trip.
