Here is my link....
Now with Limb risers!!! Here is another one...... This has the full rundown of how and what is needed!!!!!! http://www.myrover.net/forums/viewth...id=682#pid5761 Here is an idea of the parts list........... I chose to use the spring clips on the rack just to make it quick and easy to remonve them. All peices are either stainless or aluminum. All you will need is some wire cutters, a drill/bits, phillips head screwdriver, and a 7/16 wrench. If you a frontend guard (I believe you do X) just pick your drill points, if not I have seen them in the hood at the corners (I was not wanting to drill my hood). Then choose your roof mount points. Here are the parts I used, I added a couple of other shots to help. A: 1/8" Wire rope guides X 4 (Lowes # 102896). (I used these because I ended up with the coated wire, and they just made a better curve in the wire. Did not want a hole rubbed in the coating) B: 5/16" Spring Snap Clips X 4 (Lowes# 103008) C: LEHIGH #7316 Flush Type Clamps for 3/16" Wire Rope. These I got at Home Depot because Lowes did not have anything in stock. D: 1/4" X 7 1/2" Stainchon (?) With eye hook on one end and a hook on the other end X 2 (Lowes # 90787). E: 1/4" X 4 Stainless Eyebolts X 2 (Lowes # 31575) Nylon Lock Washers Washers 3/32" Coated Cable (I used about 15' @ 27 cents a linear foot)

The object of this setup is to get the limbs out of the way and Up and Over ur roof/lights/rack... so before u do any drilling go over ur setup
I also gooped up the holes i drilled and the bolts with Black sealant...i think i go overboard sometimes...idk.. O and make sure when u take ur measurements that ur adjuster has its bolts almost out of the adjuster..(hope tht makes sense) so when u get ur wire cut and all setup when u go to tighten ..it will actually be tight//if u cut ur wire and set it all up and u got to adjust and the bolts are in as far as they can go.. u have to recut ur wire im gonna see if i can find my receipt |
