I forgot who I ordered mine thru - if I recall correctly, shipping was about 3-4 days.
A buddy and I installed it in a few hours on my Mojave. I added the Mopar front LCA's to correct front castor & they were a breeze to install as well.
Ride is somewhat different because I went with a set of...
Nope. Motobilt did a reasonably good job with this design.
Would I have done some things differently, yes. For 1 example, the inner support gussets for the winch should have been welded ~1/4" further away from where they are to allow much easier access to the winch mounting hardware.
Also, if...
About 15 years ago I did a "Gear Install Basics 101" thread on another Jeep forum I'm a Moderator on.
Type my user name and topic I mentioned above in google and you should find it.
Not sure if you considered going with the MOPAR LCA's instead of brackets. For ~$62 the LCA's are hard to beat. The LCA's are ~1/4" longer which dials the castor in about perfect for a 2" spacer lift, and no low hanging brackets. Super easy to install too.
My background of building Jeeps fulltime for a living dates back to 1977 when I first started working at Rancho. After Rancho, I worked for Mickey Thompson and a number of other offroad and custom shops for decades.
I will be going into fulltime retirement soon. Several of my friends and...
I recall first talking about it in depth in the late 90's and several hundreds of times throughout the 2000's, 2010's etc on various Jeep forums.
Just google mrblaine (a longtime friend since the late 1990's and Jeep co-builder when I lived in SoCal and worked at his shop).
We use to hangout...
The install is about as easy as you'll ever get.
A good 1/2" or 3/4" drive impact gun will help, as well as a good torque wrench, some tall jack stands and a good floor jack. You may need a breaker bar with extension too.
A buddy and I did mine in about 4-5 hours including taking a breakfast &...
You're most certainly welcome. :fist bump: They sure do look awesome. :rock:
Not to jinx you twice in a row - but I hope you have good luck balancing them monsters if you do balance them.
I run two sets of tires on my 1 ton YJ. 37" & 39" red label sticky Krawlers. I migrate them onto a set...
I have a bent rear Clayton "at the ready". Perhaps I'll toss it on to avoid rubbing offroad at full flex. I have a front Clayton too that I purchased but wanted to try it out prior to install to see how things went in increments. Seems to be ~1/2-5/8" to spare sitting there statically, and we...
I have an all aluminum 16' ProVGuide Bass Tracker I tow with a handfull of my trucks. It's ~1090# dry and the Merc 60 weighs ~250#. The fishbox is ~23 gallons with a seperate live well, and troll motor is a Minn Kota w/remote deep cell battery. It's generally parked below my Hellcat out of the...
Have fun mounting them 40's on beadlocks. :giggle:
I use to build some crazy custom 1-off Jeeps fulltime for a living and it seemed I was often "chosen" to mount customers' tires on beadlocks. I've lost count as to how many I've done over the years.
As you know - not all beadlocks are...
