Aside from a piece of compression rubber for the latch area that is on it's way (thank you Goliath!), my bumper is officially done as of today! Since I no longer have a big project to work on, can anyone suggest some other heap of rusty metal that I could rebuild? :)

BTW, bring it on Calmini! :D

Now you guys won't have to listen to my whining anymore!

Not done yet!

I found a new use for one of the wheel straps from my bike rack. Works great for holding the hi-lift handle. I might need to get more of them for holding my shovel and gas spout. :D

You might want to take the instructions of the handle of your hi-lift jack you poseur! :lol2:

Speaking of which...I have the jack but nothing to attach it to yet. That pretty much makes it useless! :eek:

Well you can jack from your rear bumper, but you'll probably need a 60" jack with the new leafs and such.

Too bad Rick stuck you with his tiny one. :D

Uhhh, I don't think we should go down that road! :uhoh:

Chuck wanted a 48" jack!!!! I bought a 60" and it's going on the Surco rack. What kinda jack do you have Schlud? You still want my antenna?

BTW, a 60" jack would stick up above my roofline, which is not a good thing. I'm hoping I never get in a situation where I need to jack my truck up that high, but if I'm doing something that stupid, I'll probably be with someone who has the bigger jack.

I have the 48" and will probably swap the main bar for a 60".

My jack mount runs horizontal to the roof line, so I don't have to worry about clearance.

Don't worry chuck we'll help you out. :D

He can always borrow my 60" jack! Hope my hi-lift attachment for the rack shows up on Wednesday!

If you ever have to use your jack as a winch you will want to have a 60" bar.
I have the 48" and is just makes more work :(

I sent the bushings on Friday, post a picture when you get them on.

We only have red silicone sponge, I figured you wouldn't want to see the red so I bonded some fiberglass over the sponge with some black silicone. Should match the bumper :D . There is a PSA on the back, not sure how it will hold up to environmental conditions. If the PSA doesn't hold I have a way to bond it to the bumper. :D Just let me know.


:bonghitte

The pads kick ass! :D I haven't put one on yet, but I will try and get it done tomorrow. They look awesome though and feel like they should have the right "sponginess" factor. I really appreciate you taking the time to make those for me. I'll have to think of a way to repay you! :thinkerg:

Have your people call my people ... and if I happen to see Goliath, I'll hook him up. :smoka:

I'm glad the bushing will work:)

Post a picture when you can, I'm interested to see how they look. The bushings should hold up for the life of the truck. The PSA might not:confused:

Are they thick enough to stop the bumper from rattling?

:smoka: Philosoper, you should come to the Shamokin run this weekend, if not... your loss:finger:

Argh...it's been raining something fierce tonight so I couldn't put the pad in. I did drench myself putting the new battery in, but it didn't need to stick to soemthing dry! :)

I'll post a picture when I get it done. Sorry 'bout the wait!

Working outdoors on your battery and electrical wires during a rainstorm and lightning. Good plan. :D
