Installing the rear Rancho Shock Skid Plate
grumpytoo 5 years ago
I had the same issue as Papa Surf with my nuts & bolts The control arm bots were fine thread and the nuts were coarse thread, might of been the other way around. I suggest you check the nuts and bolts before you begin. I went to the local Ace Hardware looking for nuts that would fit the bolts, they were out of them. So plan B get bolts that would fit the nuts, those they had at $6 each. I did complain to Northridge and in a couple of days, Rancho shipped nut and bolts that fit. Looked easy, it wasn't, took several hours. My first issue was on the left/drivers side. I don't know if the extra bracket, not mentioned in the instructions, is stock Jeep or came with my lift kit, see picture. I had to try several different ways of getting things to fit together then get all the holes to line up. I thought the right side would be easy. Wrong, but that was all on me. The passenger side shock mount, the second picture, had been tweaked/bent. Looked like a small bend but I needed 3 hands and it took forever getting the holes to line up. So by the time I finished instead of a couple of wrenches under the Jeep I had 1/2 the toolbox. Actually it's pretty straight forward assuming you haven't readjusted your mounting points. Once the work was done they look good and should beef up the mounting brackets.

• AnswerQ: Synthetic Winch Rope  grumpytoo 3 years ago

  What does the end that attaches to the winch look like? It would help to have more information to go along with your "Please verify compatibility before purchase". A few pictures would be helpful.

  
  

• AnswerQ: Head Unit?  grumpytoo 4 years ago

  OK what's a head unit? Does it replace your radio? Is it a radio?
