I'm in the middle of trying to install a Kenwood head unit but am, at the moment, stuck trying to remove that rectangular bracket. I have some window vents that I'm waiting for warmer weather to install. I ordered an engine cover for my 2.0L early this morning. Also have some sill guards on the way.

Sounds all great and all but I think you posted it in the wrong thread :doh:

480,

I checked with UPS and the shipping charge will be beyond resonable $82 due to dimensions. I'd recommend get new ones since the shipping is darn expensive. I'll need to sell them to somebody who's local to avoid shipping.
Figured it would be a ridiculous amount. Thanks for checking though, bud! Hope you find someone to buy yours soon :)

MB, it allworks out....i'm ok with new ;) Do you enjoy your bars?
 
Next week, I'll be ordering new tires (225/75/R16. Hankook Dynapro ATMs) for my TJ Rubicon MOAB wheels :banana:

*edit; oh and I have spacers on the way too :) plus im about 75% complete with my "Raptor LEDs" mod. My Pat is slowly getting more and more bad ass every day ;)

Not sure on the brand name? I believe they are the ones you have?? They are 3" black powder coated carbon steel. Thanks for the installation advice buddy! It says no drilling required ....we'll see?
 
Well technically it isn't required but it is necessary if that makes sense. The front brackets need a hole drilled through the pinch weld where you add a bolt. This only supports the front bar from dipping when weight is added.

I decided against doing this because I didn't have the right drill bits. I think platinum bits would be required. The bars still support my weight, but I bought em for looks and not so much function.

The only other suggestion is to look over the bolts. The ones that have the plates attached are different sizes. The plates are different lengths.

Wish I could help with the install. I'm looking forward to pics!
