Mastiff

Anyone know where to get some? Can't find anything on the LoD site, and no instructions came in the boxes. There are quite a few parts. Maybe I can wing it, but that always makes more work.

Mastiff

I called LoD and they don't have any instructions yet, but he sent me some pics that were good enough to get the job done. The install was slightly more painful than I expected, but not terrible. Getting everything level was rough because the fit to the frame was so tight it was really hard to move anything. I'm also at the edge of the range on a few things, like the bumpstops for the gate are maxed out and the tire mount adjustment is all the way in and the tire is not as snug as I'd like against the frame. One of the provided bolts wasn't long enough so I had to scrounge one from my stash... But all in all it's a high quality product and it seems like it'll hold up for a good while.

I believe the issue with the tire not being as snug as you'd like is just with backspacing. But the LOD setup looks amazing!

Mastiff

Yeah, I guess my backspacing is off the charts with the MB72's... The in/out range is adjustable on the LoD and I have it all the way in. Oh well, it seems snug enough.

How's the linked carrier holding up? Also, how did you get the bumper without the rear lights?

Go figure, LOD without instructions for something.

Mastiff

So far so good. I haven't beaten the snot out of it, but it's gone off road a few times. No rattles, but something might be clunking on big jounces. I haven't been able to nail it down.

I just ordered without lights, no issue.

Is that the mid width? I'm contemplating the full width myself and am curious. Any pics of the actual linking mechanism? Just curious how it works out.

Mastiff

This is the stubby. It's as wide as the body. This is the best pic I have of the insides. All it boils down to is a adjustable rod that connects the gate and carrier and pulls them tightly together against some rubber stops.

Is it anything like this?
