Limb risers? - Land Rovers Only

rivers edge · 01-02-2007, 08:42 AM

I am going to the hard ware store today and I have a good idea of what to get to make my limb risers.

I am just kinda wanting to see what some people here, made theres out of?

started off with drilling a hole for an eye hook.. secured that.. for the limb risers themself.. I used coated wire, which was actually an outdoor dog leash line.. it was cheaper for that then the raw wires.. i used the bolt/nut style clamps... put turnbuckles on one side so I can disconnect the risers while not in use, and adjust them when they are up..

I used "mule tape". Mule tape is a synthetic webbing type material used to pull electrical lines through conduit. I drilled no holes at all. I tied the mule tape to the brush bar then pulled it tight to the expedition rack with a trucker's hitch. When I was done road'n, I cut the tape and threw it away. Good for those of you who are not doing this for show; only for function. It does not look very finished or cool; it just works when it's needed!

did mine with some 1/4" coated wire I found lying around and turn buckles to tension the wire and for quick removal.
