This whole āPE FEAā thing you seem to keep bragging about is only impressive to people who donāt know anything about engineering. And pretty much anyone can buy rated shackles from every 4x4 retailer in the world.
You clearly can manufacture nice product. While I find your naming choices a...
Yeah uh that means absolutely nothing. Rated lifting devices involves way more than FEA.
The fact that this was clearly designed to look good and then analyzed after the fact says it all.
I wonāt argue that theyāre not pretty- they are- but marketing these as an actual recovery component is a...
im not talking moving the slider up vertically (farther from the ground/closer to the rocker).. Iām talking about the front edge of the rocker being forward enough that itās even with the front edge of the body so those of us that want to can close the gap with a strip of rubber or whatever...
looks to me like a dimple die from the bottom- meaning every hole has an upturned edge. Should be great for traction on the steps, as long as thereās a gap somewhere for the step cutout to drain. Iām assuming they have that covered.
Rear sway bar is a mid-cycle engineering upgrade on 4-door Sasquatch builds. Has nothing to do with the roof rack option availability change. Rear shock tuning and steering rack tuning are different. Rear shock tuning is essentially softer mid-stroke, which reduced rear roll control near normal...
PLEASE take the front taper on the signature series up close to the front edge of the body so we can easily close off that gap to the bottom of the flare and prevent rock chips on the doors
no one making sliders is doing this yet
My hope is that a wider slider, ala ARB or whatever, would be more protective than the OE ones. Obviously anything that's close to flush with the body isn't going to do much.
IE....
Looks like it would provide a reasonable amount of protection. I dunno if anyone is actually running these...
This is the info I was really after.
My hope is that there will be a slider design that 1) looks good and 2) gets close enough to the front of the pinch weld/front flare so that it blocks that opening between the flare and body and provides at least SOME protection. A tube-style rock rail...
I've seen a couple of posts and videos of guys who have gnarly levels of rock chips on the rockers (which doesn't concern me THAT much, except for future rust) and on the doors (which concerns me a lot...) from sasquatch equipped Broncos. Anyone with the factory sliders, or aftermarket sliders...
I wasn't familiar with LOD but if the signature series for the Bronco is similar to the design for the JK/JL, I'm all in. Best looking slider I've seen, and they look like they're probably bomb proof.
