my new goodie (hitch receiver shackle)

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Fri Jun 05, 2009 4:07 pm

my new goodie came in today, and first off, I must sa that I'm very impressed with OKoffroad. I ordered it just a few days ago and it arrived about 3 days sooner than it should have even

I also emailed them asking about something else to find out if they had it in stock and they emailed me back very quickly, so I'll have to say I'm really impressed with their store

with my twisted clevis attached

with the included clevis attached

i need to find my clevis shims for the twisted clevis, it's slightly too wide for the receiver

Nice. I wish I wasn't saving for a house right now. Sooo many goodies I'd love to get for my Libby.

I got a smittybuilt dring and shackle at the Lima 4X4 Jamboree...
It was an "EVENT SPECIAL" I won't say how much... But It is HEAVY!

it's about 66 bucks about the same price as superwinch brand stuff

the ring that came with it is actually a smittybilt

That sounds exactly like something I'd do.

Which license plate are you relocating? I always find my front plate tearing off on the steep trails.

JeepinJarhead03 · **Posted:** Sat Jun 06, 2009 9:36 pm

just the rear plate for now

once I put a steel front bumper on i'm going to put the front plate on one of those springed hinges similar to what they used to use on the rear of older vehicles covering the gas filler

hopefully there will be a winch roller doohickey thingit behind the plate thus making the hinge aspect of it actually useful

Which raises the question,
Where can you buy a spring loaded Licence plate mount that will cover a winche's fairlead?

I've looked everywhere and can't find one!! :evil:

All I've found is rotating mounts used for deception ( No need for that, I'm Law abiding and don't speed)

Do you mean one of these?

found at http://www.expertoffroad.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=2-EO32000

All I had to do was Google "winch license plate bracket".

I particularly like this one;

By the way I have one of those shackle d-links, great idea. I used to use a hitch mounted hook but the recovery strap would slip off of tear a hole in the strap.
