bashplate on bodylift

nav · Jun 22, 2011

just curious as to how everyone has gone about there bashplate with the 2 inch bodylift, with the crumple zones in the way. as i lift the bullbar itll sit about 1.5-2 inches above the top of the crumple zone and am curious as to how everyones gone about makin up new bashplate. and do these crumple zones set off the airbags if there smacked or wat ???
cheers

No it's more like an accelerometer like what's in your iPhone, 7g of decelleration sets off the air bags. It's not based on the deformation of the crumple zones

Body lift should not worry bash plates, as they are bolted to the chassis.

but when the bullbar is lifted to suit body lift, then gonna have to extend the bashplate, and just seein who has made one up to get round around the crumple zones.

Yeah sorry that's the only one, sump and transfer case plates will be find.

I cut rectangle sections out of the bullbar bash plate to clear the chassis. because I raised the factory steel bullbar on it's mounts the plate no longer met up with old fixing points on the bullbar mounts so I increased the angle of the existing crease and put a crease in the other direction at the end which allowed me to bolt it up to my TJM sump bash plate.

im a little confused on how you explained that pete, you cut out sections on the bash plate, so you have got holes in it now ??? so your crumple zones are exposed ???
sorry if this sounds retarded im just a little lost....

yeah, cut rectangle section out of lower corners of plate (not holes). you can see the front/lower inch of the chassis but looks OK as it is down low.

yeah i sorta figured my way round it. spoke to guy at coastals about it, who helped massively. so shit will get underway
