I don't want to drill and put eye hooks like I did my factory brush guard. I was thinking (here's my question) could I use the ARB cb antenna brackets positioned correctly for my attachment point on the bumper? Anyone tried this? How strong are these anyways?   John Hamblin (Jhmover) New Member Username: Jhmover Post Number: 18 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:34 pm:    Well, I mount my high lift jack on the cb brackets and they haven't bent or broken yet.   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 589 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 10:57 pm:    I would think those would be to close to the center blake, I have seen people using 'conduit clips' (or whatever they are called, the things that let you hand conduit against a wall) and that appears to work well but I don't have limb risers so take that w/ a grain of salt. So did you get some brakets made up so it works w/ the body lift, or are you stuck w/ a gap??   Art Vigil (Colorover) Member Username: Colorover Post Number: 177 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 11:06 pm:    Carter beat me to it. I just purchased some open clamps from Lowes to attach my limb risers to the top of my roof rack. They look like this: http://proserveelectric.com/category.cfm?Category=128&CFID=78548&CFTOKEN=3647031 4 Total cost - < 3 bucks. ~Art Vigil   Blake Luse (Muddyrover) Senior Member Username: Muddyrover Post Number: 873 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 05, 2003 - 10:36 pm:    Yeah I got the bracket made. Looks awesome, pics will come shortly. The guy is gonna build me a rear bumper also. So the cb mounts are to small for the bigger bar towards the outside (in the normal mounting location)? Thanks for the link Art. Anyone know what size to get?   Blake Luse (Muddyrover) Senior Member Username: Muddyrover Post Number: 879 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 12:22 am:    Never mind the bars are all the same size. That idea would work, if they are strong enough. It would be expensive though. Carter I think you thought I meant (thats a tongue twister) the middle tabs that are already there, right? I mean the ones you buy from arb and put on yourself. It took me a few days to realize.   Carter Simcoe (Carter) Senior Member Username: Carter Post Number: 595 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 12:35 am:    Yeah I was confused I thought you meant the ones that are allready there, I forgot they make the other ones too.   James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 308 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 12:42 am:    Go to 4X4 connection. There is a Cb mount that fits over the ARB without drilling and is not the welded on tabs. They work well. I've seen them and the owner of the site uses them.   Roger M (Ciscowiz) Member Username: Ciscowiz Post Number: 45 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 07, 2003 - 05:30 am:    Hey Blake , Can you give out any more info on your custom rear D1 bumper? I need one.

Its not made yet but when it gets made I will give any info I can. I have another thread going looking for ideas.
