![]() The only thing I haven't talked to him about was the light bar not quite fitting, but I was able to make that work. A week later I sent another him a second email. I sent him an email to let him know they didn't fit and see what I should do. You also didn't see any posts when first discovered the d ring issue. That's why you didn't see a post about waiting 6 weeks or so on delivery when I was told 10 business days. I do understand that he is a lone man, and have tried to cut him some slack. A couple days later, the d rings that he specified showed up (by this point, I've got almost $100 in d rings trying to find some that would fit) and didn't fit. In hindsight, maybe that wasn't the best plan, but I need my jeep to be functional with the winch mounted on it for timber removal and work on my property. Upon receiving that, I proceeded with the install. He sent me a link of exactly which d rings to buy. There were several emails that went back and forth between Mark and myself. I did put off the install of the backbone for almost 2 months. If they did, I'd probably ship this back and tell Visa to cancel the charges. I wish someone else offered a similar product. Overall I really like the design, but I'm pretty unhappy with the overall experience. I've talked with other backbone owners and they are mixed as to 3/4" d rings fitting the backbone. (about 3 weeks) and have yet to receive a response. I've emailed Mark twice since finding out the d rings he specified don't fit. I ended up having to cut extra metal out of the bumper to be able to install the winch and light bar after the bumper was in place. Unfortunately he drilled the holes too close to the edge of the mount IMO, so enlarging it is not an option.ĭuring the installation of the backbone, I also found that the light bar is too wide to mount the bumper with the end caps attached on late model Cherokees. When they arrived, the threaded part will go into the hole on the backbone, but not the main shaft of the cross pin. At that point, I ordered them and installed the backbone. After several emails back n forth to Mark, he sent me a link to some that he said would fit. The website specifically states 3/4" d ring mounts, yet the two sets I'd ordered don't fit. In the mean time, I tried to get d-rings for it which has also turned out problematic. I finally received it around Christmas.īecause he'd missed both my weeks of down time, I didn't get a chance to try to install it until later. Then there were shipping delays on Dec 13th and 18th. The same exchange took place again on Dec 2. I contacted him Nov 20th to check the status and he said he was still waiting on a steel order he needed to build it and wasn't sure he could make it in time. I was told it wouldn't be a problem, that would take 10 business days to arrive. I was hoping to have it for my 'build week' Nov 25th through 29th.
