Is it just me, or is that flag going to slam into the front of the truck when you go off road?

I thought you had a receiver mount for the ***** in front. If so you could make something that go's in that.

It's a pretty stiff flag pole and hence the angle on his mount also keeps it from hitting the truck.
Doesn't come close to hitting at all, trust me it's been proven. haha

Ok, I take the comment back about the harness being a easy move!! Only attempt this of you have a hoist!!!
Anyways harness moved winch wires ran and while I was moving the harness I had to remove the body mounts and what did find>>> the cups filled with water!!! What a shit design for sure. Reminds me of the 1986- 1991 taurus sub-frame platform. Ford was sued because the mounts would hold water and rust out then the engine and trans would fall dam near on the ground!!!
SO the cups on The rear body mounts of the Screw have a oil-hydro dampening cup on them that adsorbs the body boom here is a picture of the mount and the cup... I will drill a few holes so the water can drain but its not going to be easy the way its designed. I might take em off and see if I really notice the noise...

Damn i was hoping that harness could be moved with out a lift because that is on the todo list. Interesting about the body mounts, mine must be sloshing with water given the water crossings i have done. :(

These are what I think that are causing creeking noise when I turn from side to side. Happens every once in a while but in the summer time it happens more. Drives me up the wall.
