onebadmonte Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 THREAD RESURRECT! Ha, ha. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off lately. I've made a bit of progress on my system, I just haven't had the chance to put my pics and words together for a proper presentation. Here we go. I wanted to take a little bit of time to make some improvements. Make things a bit easier in the disassembly and re-assembly department. We'll start off with the alternator bracket. The biggest pain in the ass is when tightening the outer most alternator nut and bolt. To remedy this I welded a threaded insert to the backside of the bracket. In this pic, the red circle is the area in question. On the right side is the insert to be welded. To center the insert I used some foil paper to center a bolt threaded into the insert. Here is the welded insert. The final product. Another area I improved on is the receiver hitch area. It's a bolt in piece, that has to come out when the battery rack has to come out. The pain about it is that it's a two person job that I'm always doing alone with a floor jack and a pair of ratchets. The only way to eliminate the floor jack is if I bulk up, which ain't gonna happen any time soon. The next best thing is to eliminate at least one ratchet. To do that I welded some bolts to a stip of 1/8" steel. Here is the new part installed. Looking up at the receiver hitch mount. The receiver hitch installed. More on the way.

onebadmonte Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yay for updates! This was a fun day. First a big thanks to my buddy Rick for coming over early in the morning just to help me load this monster up. No amp on the box, just too much weight. O_o Amp installed. A little bit of the wiring. A couple of install picks. Barely enough room to shut the barn doors. Looking over the drivers shoulder. Finally, some subs in view. Up next some the smoke test.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just wanted to say thanks for doing that review on the quad bracket last year, I just redid all my electrical for my rebuild for this season and I used all the pointers from your review, my quad bracket now sits great on the truck and all my NEW Mechmans sit great in the bracket. I ended up welding a 5/16 bolt to the that back plate for all my frame grounds it made things a ton easier and I agree that one nut is a PITA to get to, all of them should have been threaded like that what you did to begin with, great job looks great!!!
