haha well this wont be going anywhere near the ice and snow, just like my 79, so there will be no need for it, thats y i bought my 92

Jr, BOA is bag over axle...meaning put the bag between the axle and the c notch...that should solve your laying frame problem in the rear...also, rockcrawlers don't usually drive on the road...yours will...

jrsmith_2010 · 01-13-2010, 10:57 PM

thats what i thought it ment. yea i kno that but he takes his on the trails and rolls them, and they still r all together

*Stitch* · 01-13-2010, 11:02 PM

well, 10 different people on here have told you it's unsafe...if you don't believe us, then you don't...if you don't get it fixed, I can say I'm glad you live in Kansas and not SC...I don't have to worry about you causing an accident around me and my family...

Amen Brother.

jrsmith_2010 · 01-13-2010, 11:07 PM

im just saying dude, the pics r from the inside of it, where it just has the one brace, the outside has been reinforced with 1/4 plates where it isnt going anywhere if it wanted to

*Stitch* · 01-13-2010, 11:10 PM

the plate on the side of the frame is only going to keep the frame from flex to the side...the engine crossmember is already going to do that...if you don't gusset on top and bottom of where the z was made, it will flex up and you will be laying frame quit quickly...there's a reason everyone is telling you to put gussets on it and plate the inside, because it's what you need to do to make it safe...just take it back and tell him to do it...easy as that...

Restrorob · 01-13-2010, 11:17 PM

Also see if he'll move the bags over the axle in the notch so you won't have to chop your bed up trying to get it lower.

jrsmith_2010 · 01-13-2010, 11:20 PM

x2...Jr, I'm not trying to be a PIA...I just know that you want it done right and that's how it needs to be done to be right...I didn't say it before, but I would love to have bags on one of my trucks, but family priorities get in the way sometimes...lol...anyways, I know the truck is going to look good and congrats on getting it bagged and for such a good price...
