Would it hurt that one is wristed and the other is not? Would the wristed one go on the passanger side? I am interested. I sent ya pm before I seen this thread. Can you get me a shipping quote to 72118 Business Address. I would like them I just don't know about them being different from each other look.

 

Would it hurt that one is wristed and the other is not?

it would hurt alot more if they were both wristed. nothing to control the axle left.

 

That is what I thought. I haven't dug in to Wristed and Extended arms yet, So I don't know the details that goes along with them. Thanks Zach.

 

imo id go with extended before wristed grant it you gain flex but if you look a dblue pics from hollister or fordyce when it failed.. thats some scary chit

yea, agreed on the wristed stuff these days, but,

I'm looking at Plug's pic and wonder, should not be too difficult to make both solid, no more wrist/pin, should it? And the arms themselves look pretty long.

 

I dont recall how much longer than stock they are. Something like 8 to 10". To allow the wrist to work, you just pull the pin and let it pivot on the 1" bolt.

Daves issue was related to the wrist in part, but also to the fact that he hammered an 18" wide bogger into a HUGE rock with a lot of throttle. It was a combination of things that lead to his failure issues.

These arms are strong, but any arm is only as strong as the bolts that hold it to the axle. Daves drivers side arm was not very well reinforced when he had his issues.

 

I am still interested. I don't think that I can extend mine for that price. Still working out the finances. Do you have the Caps to them or is it just the arms.

 

just the arms, but the caps should be easy enuf to find at pick and pull.

You couldnt buy the heims and extensions for what i want the arms for, let alone the labor and metal to plate them on top of the arms themselves.

 

I am going to pass. I can extend, heim, and plate mine for about $130. May not be as fancy as yours but it will work for me. Thanks for the help.

 

Ok since Lightnin has stepped down, I got a question. How do you feel about a package deal?? I have no equipment to fab up the mounts needed for these. Think you could put together the mounts and sell as a package?? I've got the caps, would just need the mounts to make them work.. I don't know if this would work since you may not have accsess to a 79 for fabbing purposes or the time.... Thanks---Fog

id like to know how you think you can buy arms, the parts, and the steel to make it all work for 130 bucks?

 

fog, I really dont have access to a 78/9. I might be able to just make a "h" type bracket, but dont know how that would work for you.

 

Well I have Factory Arms don't have to buy them, Heims are about $100 for 2 1" heims. $30 for the 3x3x1/4 Angle Iron. Already have the steel tube for the extentions. Bore it, tap it, weld it, box it, Don't seem to difficult.

 

How much difference is there in the frames between the 79 and later years??? Would the h bracket your talking about be good enough?? I'm not trying to second guess you, just looking for a no-bs opinion...Would this be how you would build it if the rig was there or should I look for a place to fab it here??? Fog

 

I dont know for sure. 3/8 plate would be storng, but Im not familiar enuf with that year frame.

cost me like 100bucks to do mine, but i had half the stuff.

good rod ends are like 70-80bucks a pop

 

plug, how bout 140?

 

ok, plus shipping

 

these are still for sale and taking up space in my garage.

 

still for sale, now WITH radius arm mounts.

 

Dibs...Ok, so would you take 140 plus shipping? Can you check out the shipping it 30043 Lawrenceville, GA? Can you post some pics of the mounts as well? I'm pretty interested in them and have paypal. Let me know. Bryan

 

Hey plug I'll step in line. PM me when it's my turn.

 

the mounts are cage radius arm mounts. Cut off the inner "ear" and then it would mout right to your frame. The cage mounts are made for a boxed frame, and ours are a C frame, so thats why the inner ear has to be cut off.
