I totally understand and agree with addressing the issue before repairing. I just could not see from pics that it was making contact. Did the dealer refer you to their collision body shop telling you it would not be covered under warranty, or were they referring you to them to get it repaired...
I feel your pain. Too bad that the 1 in a many had to be you instead of found faulty before leaving factory. I had a bad experience with new 250 6.7 few years back, 7000 miles in and the heads and valves had to be replaced. It took them some time but they were able to get it running like new...
For what itās worth I just asked my buddy who happens to be with me right now, heās been in the tint wrap business for close to 15 years and he said ā Dont Do It!!ā . He said heās been asked this by Jeep owners as well as others with textured bumpers and front spoilers and they have done it a...
Interesting. I havenāt seen that on my MIC and it gets clobbered by AZ Sun. My suspicion is that it may be some type of dressing run off from seals or accumulation of dressing/dirt under edges of seals that is getting washed out. Would definitely like to see any follow up on this. I would...
Hereās a pic of top bolts, their position is no different than OEM pods. However the outboard corner on that angle for Mabett brackets protrudes about 3/8ā higher than roll bar. If thatās the problem, maybe just place a piece of adhesive 1/8ā foam over bolt heads???
Ok, so after looking at old ones, I think the same brackets are used for both the 2 and 4 door, only thing different is the bushing for bottom mounting bolt when used on 2 door. I also recall that if I used the supplied bushing without trimming and instead used a longer bolt the pod would not...
No problem at all with seatbelt it just swivels out of the way but like I said itās only by about 1/16ā. Mine are probably closer to 1/8ā because I placed a small piece of foam between pod and seat belt to silence any new rattle. Definitely do not need more of thoseš
Finding a bushing/spacer for bottom bolt I think would be easy to find. Let me go look thru my parts and see which brackets I used. Iāll get back to you momentarily.
The plastic seat belt loop does touch but barely, itās about 1/16ā too close, but in my honest opinion does not/would not interfere with normal operation or safety. I just snapped a couple pics. However I was just looking and Iām only able to find 4dr compatibility Mabetts.??? I bought mine on...
I have the pods on 2 dr. Came with a spacer/bushing standoff for bottom bolt that mounts pod to roll bar. However, unless they have changed something, the bushings need to have about 1/4-3/8ā shaved off or you will need to buy a longer bolt. Other 2dr owners have experienced the same thing.
Iām running 275/65r18 Toyo AT3 on non sas OBX. No tread noise, wider tire looks proportional to wheel wells. My decision to go with this size was to keep weight closer to stock and so speedometer stays same. Tire poke is still inside flares.
Oh no problem, I didnāt take it that wayšš¼ And I TOTALLY agree, lots of CNN news on the webš. Was just curious after what I had read, and was looking for some validation one way or another.
