Since I am RWD, I thought I should add something to aide in pulling me out should I get stuck....:laughing:

Nice color match. You gonna paint the front ones too?

Summers22 04-24-2019 07:44 PM

Probably wont paint the front. This one came blue already and since the color is close, I'll leave it for now. Its a Curt shackle hitch, Deadbolt brand lock, and some Amazon special d-rings and isolator kit.

Nice!

That's why I installed my Hi Lift jack, recovery gear, etc... I figure my 4 X 2 is going to need them sooner than a four-bee-four. :laughing:

I have one o' them thar shackle sliders. I didn't install it cuz I figger'd it'd rattle around n' stuff but now that I have my Vibra-hone tahrz! on my truck, it no matter no mind, see.

The isolator washers were too thick, so I used 2 small black zip ties to help stop rattles.

Apples 04-25-2019 12:33 AM

I see! Brilliant! :laughing:

I could probably use a portion of a smaller, thinner zip tie section to shim the slider to the i.d. of the receiver... or just wrap the slider with some vinyl tape, or...



:thumbsup:

Decided to revisit an old idea and went ahead and ordered 2 tow hooks, 4 bolts, 2 retainer nuts and 2 tow hook boots. I am going to cut the stock RWD valance instead of replace it.

I received this yesterday in the mail. @Mike from TN

Either way, I wish you a smooth operation. Simply replacing the valance on my truck is a considerable task... :laughing: :thumbsup:

The good news is, *should* (not that you will, why, you're Summers!) :D ... should you baff up your cut or something, the new tow hooks valance is available through your local Ford dealer's parts dept for a not exorbitant price.

Yeah, I am hoping the "on the cheap" method remains that way, lol
