Shackle me not

[Nomar]

Is EE still in biz?
Where is the best place to get a shackle bracket for mounting on a bumper?
I couldnt get EE to come up a bit ago and I liked the ones they used to sell.

make sure to weld it on, instead of hardware. just tack some pot welds in those thru holes. make sure you paint the area before you weld it so you dont get any rust.

Ive used these...

They're pierce through so you can weld them on the front and back side.

BAM!

Thanks,
Are those Toyoda mounts, JB?

I reloaded EE and it came up.

Mike, I'd rather not weld them; maybe some really strong epoxy??

make sure its water based epoxy, so it wont rust.

Hot glue should work. Unless you are too hot.

Rubber cement glue will help insulate it and reduce vibrations.

I have always prefered velcro.

Those are "bad ass fuck a nut and bolt recovery points"!

 

[emmodg]

Just wrap a strap around a drag link or tie rod and call it good.

Soft shackle.

Soft shackle.

Even better! Throw one of those bad boys around a shock!

All joking aside, two soft shackles will pretty much be all the recovery points you will ever need.

Jury is still out. I've used and seen some "hairy-ass" soft "shackles".....

Lucky8 has what you are looking for Jeff. I picked up two last month. Get the backing plate too if you're using on an ARB, etc. Shoot Eric or Justin a message. It's the exact item EE sold.

Soft shackles are a great supplement and quite a few of the groups we work with and train are buying them and using them quite frequently. Light weight and strong, but they won't replace a bow shackle for every use where you have sharp corners/edges.

Erik doesn't work for lucky8 any more. He works full time for Chippendale's now.

I thought Erik left and went to one of those new topless Tim Hortons out by the buffalo airport?
