I don't know the specs but it's pretty capable and he's not afraid to wheel it! :gigem: Plus he likes BLS, so he's a good guy in my book!

Well, who wouldn't like the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Not really a controversial department.

I'll post up in the noob thread later when I can get to a computer. It's got a CDL (all 80's have this) but unfortunately no F/R electric lockers. I'll prolly throw an aussie in the rear at some point.

Overall I feel like it was a great newb trip.

They were all pretty hesitant but after a little peer pressure and hazing, they started to push their vehicles a little harder.

Wish there would have been a few other older members with rigs to help out, but they did great for a first trip out. We just nee to emphasize the need for proper recovery points, and tow straps next time.

I think they sign the waiver when they join the club.

as long as sam is on top of his job they have to sign the waiver when they first sign up, and then sam is supposed to keep the forms and bring them to every event

I don't think so, but we really don't yet have a policy for that. However we are working on it along with plenty of other stuff (such as turning names into Stu-Act for each trip:confused:). Let's not turn this thread into a policy discussion.

Here is an idea. Have a wrenchfest on a Saturday or weekend for the newer guys where the older members can help them get recovery points mounted.

Just got some hooks and a 3" by 30' 27.000lbs strap from TSC. Someone wanna help me with my Aussie and front hooks this weekend??

Hooks are bad. You want fully captured shackle mounts.
10-04-2010, 05:40 PM
crdub09

Damn, well that's what I've got for now. I don't have a way to mount any other points without drilling. The hooks have a latch on the backside though- not load bearing of course.

Start a buildup thread so we can discuss this further.

Factory style tow hooks are really your best and only option on stock bumpers.
They will work fine for now.

I would check out ebay for a rear TJ hook.

These are what I use in the front:

To weld to sheet metal bumpers? Or weld to the cross-members? Might as well build a bumper if you are going to do that.

Well the ones I got were $15 a piece from TSC and are rated to 10,000lbs which is the same if not better than the factory ones. I didnt see any real way to mount a shackle without welding, and like yall said I might as well make a bumper. Hopefully Ill get a tire carrier and front for xmas, heh heh
