Relax Frank.......

Like "someone" told ya..... the indentations in your wrists from the "bracelets" will go away after an hour or so. Your elbows and shoulders should only be sore thru to the next day.

Sorry about the "trip" down the stairs though - totally didn't plan on that..... How's that knot on yer melon? :doh:

No more donuts for you........

Looks really nice Frank!! This may sound like a dumb question but why is the tire mounted so high?

 

[Frank Z]

Better departure angle.

 

[90xj4x4]

I figured that. It just seemed really high. I thought you may be mounting a jerrycan or Hi-lift under the tire. It is probably just the angle of the picture.

For you visual learners....... I present the infamous "Widowmaker" obstacle on Moab's Metal Masher trail........

In this pic, Alex (Handlebars) appears to have removed his spare off his carrier to attempt this obstacle.

And my old rig on one of Chinaman's obstacles.....

Clear as mud?

 

[Frank Z]

Been there, drug that......

FWIW,
There will be Aux. back-up lights mounted on/under the bumper and some form of additional turn signals as well.

My Metal Masher Video. Watch the spare tire/jerry cans.

Mo' pictures = Mo' better.

It's hard to get an idea of how steep this obstacle really is, until you see it in person. I rode up in a unbelievably built TJ, with a v8 swap and 42's, and it'll make you pucker that rear end up so quick.

i dont think you guys needed straps on the way up:guitar:

 

[MelloYello]

Holy F-Word! That is some serious "trails". I would love to drive that. Anybody got a rig I can borrow? :wierd:

 

[DutchVDub]

Hey frank, have you considered adding a mount of some sort to hook it into your roof rack? Nothing major, just to help keep the tire from bouncing around much. It looks good overall, but with the tire that high I would be a little concerned with the leverage it puts on your mount and hinge.

Good work though, not trying to sound overly critical.

Haven't touched the bumper since The HOA ragged on me.
