Poor departure angle fixed!

[SouthbayTremor]

So I just said fuck it and went for it after ripping my rear bumper off at least a dozen times. So today half I the rear bumper came off and airbags on the rear whent on. Overall super happy with how it turned out! Also crawling under the truck I found one of the 4 Rdu mounts is completely sheared off. I think I broke it back in febuary when I snapped the drive shaft at king of the hammers. But I’m just gonna forget I ever say that until it gives me bigger problems

"departure angel" - is that like a nice version of the Grim Reaper?

 

[RR - All the way]

Hmmm, speaking of "king of the hammers", your post sounds a little like it is from the "king of the hammered"!!!

I guess somebody needs to come out with an aftermarket shorty bumper for off-roading. You might want to get that brace looked at.

Might want to correct the title before your Guardian Angel sees it. Like the fix, much like the late Bwicka had done to his. How serious is that RDU mount? Think it can be welded?

I plan to weld one up! I made one for my ranger when I was younger and while trimming the bumper today I found my mounting points!

I don’t know how to fix the title! But as far as the RDU I’m not to worried about it. I think I broke it back in February and it’s been fine. I would have never noticed if I didn’t crawl under there. The only thing is that im going to stop replacing the RDU fluid every 10k miles (like I have been) and when it goes out(I’m sure it won’t take long the way I drive and with no fluid changes from now on) then I’ll get a new one. Dealer quoted me $1500 so not fun but not as bad as I thought

Might even be able to source a low mileage salvage one by then for less money.

That’s the plan! Especially if they have it in one of those pick a part places I should be able to pick one up for a few hundred bucks

Looks great. How did you wire in your GFC third brake light? Cheers.
