I think I need to get the sand ladders that Hilltopper has, I'm going to ask for them for Christmas, but otherwise...?







My wife and I are heading out to here and then out to dinner afterwards.

European Auto Restoration - Mercedes Benz, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Volvo, Volkswagen, Saab, Fiat, Lancia, Citroen...

 

LEGIT....Looks GREAT.

 

i think they cost $45. for me they were $95 shipped for two 5ft sections. i now have a $7 quick release on them because i don't have a welder or access to one to fab up mounts for the roof rack. i need to hassle one of my club members into building them for me....

 

note my truck is not even close to fitting in the garage.

 

Been meaning to ask....

When are you putting those sexy a$$ steelies on?

and...

How are your front springs holding up to the ARB?

 

They are going on soon, before snow flies. (I scored a set of snow tires in a trade OEM size)
I have to paint them again, the color I used it to white so I bought more of a off white but I need to wait to paint them until I have enough daylight to see what I'm doing, right now I go to work in the dark and get home just in time for the sun to set.

The old tired worn out OEM springs are holding up just fine.

ED-here is what I'm going to use once I get real sand ladders.
Amazon.com: SAND LADDER MOUNTING BRACKETS (Pair): Automotive

 

the only reason i wouldnt have bought those is because i would need two pairs. that is $120, that is $25 more than the ladders themselves. I don't like putting all the weight on one side of the rack so one pair wouldnt suffice. I'm sure if i ordered some plate from onlinemetals.com i could easily built a similar bracket with a drill and some hardware from mcmaster carr
