It certainly gives a deep note. Not quite, but not too loud. The wife doesn't mind the noise, if that's any indication......

Cheers, Craig
Looks great and I may consider the same but you now need to make it and the rest of the car dirty.
Have fun!

Took off the rocker knockers, skid plates for a yearly maintenance and cleaning out the mud collected expecially in the cross bracket and fuel tank skid.

Time to wire brush, sand, rust treat, prime, paint and install them again..

Fun they said.





Done

Can you do mine too please? They are faded and have surface rust. Never a fun job. I was lazy and just painted them on the car.

Haa..Haa.. Funny man

The rockers are tough as but I managed to bend it after coming down hard on a rock. I had to use a bottle jack to get a stubborn bolt out. Not sure how I'm gonna straighten the bar or the middle bracket. If I pull too hard via a winch, I may make it worse. Maybe put both ends on bricks, heat up the middle and jump up and down on it??

Let me just google or youtube it for a sec

If you can prop it up on timber at each end you could probably straighten it with the bottle jack on top and under something really heavy. Otherwise heating spots equal distances apart on the top side and letting it cool will bend it back the other way without having to jump on it too but I'm sure you'll be able to fix it cold anyway.

Finished getting the trailer ready for a blueslip, welded on new longer rated chains, added mud flaps, put on reflectors and a few other bits and pieces completed today.





Cheers
Steve
