Lift question 02 Liberty

[tommudd]

Mounting bracket PLUS the bumper itself is not that light weight
But then what do I know, not like I have one or anything or have ever helped install any more :laughing1::laughing1:

I just checked out the jeepinbyal site.


My god is that guy full of himself. It is one thing to be good, but quite another to tote yourself off to the world.

The pot calling the kettle black?

The pot calling the kettle black?

Ha! not even close. I'm a KJ newb for the most part, but the simple fact of the matter is that even at that, I've done more mechanically than most members have on them. That's not being big-headed or even arrogant. It's just plain true.

I'm not God's gift to jeep. JBA seems like he thinks he is. I just know my shtuff, and can back that up with facts. If that seems arrogant, so be it. He does too, but just comes across terribly in my opinion.

I would gladly buy from JBA, but over the internet..he looks talked up enough on his site that I just don't feel like talking to anyone there. As stated, I have his upper arms in mine, and it rides/handles like a dream even on 32" MT's.

When I get an arb I'm going to post a video of me attempting to put it over my head with one arm. If I can't do it, then I know you surely cant.

 

[tjkj2002]

yes, I have. Ironically, the first ARB I ever owned was a wrecked one from a KJ that I fixed up and sold. they are light.

There made out of HSS.To get the same strength from regular sheet steel it would have to be made out of 1/4" thick or thicker and weigh 4 to 5 times as much.They are designed to take kangaroo impacts,and those crush zones on the ,mounting base are designed so you only have to replace either the base plate of cover plate.The cover plate and base plate I believe are 89lbs,not that much lighter then my Rear RL bumper which is mostly 3/16" plate steel.


Like Tom I've relocated a celica's r/r tail light about a foot in,took out a cops Chargers drivers door/window,and bashed it off many rocks and trees with no damage at all besides a few light scratches.

I posted all of that about the design, for one.

for another, you sound like a terrible driver.

 

[tommudd]

Oh to be 25 again

 

[tjkj2002]

for another, you sound like a terrible driver.

The celica was a drunk driver that couldn't make up his mind if he was turning left or right,so I made it for him.The cop ran a stop sign without his emergancy lights on,he said he didn't see me(kinda hard to miss my KJ).And the bashing off rocks and trees,well some of the trails here in CO get pretty narrow.


But then again I do not need to explain because you got your mind set already and most likely will never change.

He knows his shtuff. Period. Name one other who is specializing in IFS jeeps. He can talk all he wants. There's just no other person or place to go to. You'll find nobody nicer and eager to help than him.

That's not being arrogant. It's just plain true.

 

[WickedBruce]

You may have done more work then most people...but not more than the people you are arguing with.

The amount of knowledge you have still doesn't change the weight of the Arb.....

 

[tjkj2002]

Man can I state the ARB is not light,more so when you got a winch installed.Had mine off a few times and have installed a few others.

 

[WickedBruce]

I've never held one. Only seen one in person, and can tell just by looking at it that it's no feather.
