Selection.......The best! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Gravel Maker · 08-24-2007, 09:15 AM

I get calls all day from people looking for ideas on how to do something. Our Selection, Thickness, & Price keeps 'em coming back for more. And not a silly selection made from every scrap we can find either! A usuable selection. Why would someone need 100+ variations of the same bracket?

All of our Link Tabs are 3/8" thick and allow you to build it and forget it. The different profiles & lengths can fit up on just about anything too! Mix and match for any angle easily, shave an edge and adjust a few degrees in a second......And priced fairly to begin with, no sale needed! And these are actually big enough to feel confident in using, note the hole, it is 9/16", compare this to the others you see advertised and tell me how confiident you would be using ours! Our Link tabs are also big enough to use even EVO joints, we don't make them so small that you can only use a 5/8" heim with them. We call those Shock tabs!

But when you order don't forget the discount of 10% when you use the PBB10 code!

Gravel Maker · 09-18-2007, 06:21 PM

Got a question of how to use these when making offset angles........

or

Pretty easy and inexpensive too......

zachv · 09-20-2007, 02:31 PM

BTT, and you have a PM.

Gravel Maker · 09-22-2007, 01:55 PM

You've got packages.....

Gravel Maker · 09-30-2007, 12:24 AM

The easiest and least expensive way to build an incredibally strong (3/8" thick) Link Suspension......use your imagination!

Gravel Maker · 10-07-2007, 10:42 PM

And if you aren't sure of which you need you can get a "set" for $23, a set is 2 of each length so you can mix and match for best angles......

Gravel Maker · 10-18-2007, 10:49 AM

These are THE way to save money on your build and you never have to wonder if they are strong enough!

Gravel Maker · 11-02-2007, 03:03 PM

Crossmembers, Trusses, Motor Mounts, Rockwells.......Always nice to have a flat edge tab or one made to mount on a corner that you can trust to take some abuse......

Gravel Maker · 11-03-2007, 11:05 PM

We have always believed options are what makes anything better, however, we don't give you the option of weaker. We only make these from 3/8" material and in only 5 different profiles and 3 different heights for each profile. If they are all the same length how do you make a 10 degree angle, you take out the grinder and give yourself some time, not with these! We continue to strive to offer the best choices for your suspension needs at the best price.......A set of 6 (2 of each height, 1 profile) is $23 before the PBB10 discount........

gtxracer · 11-13-2007, 08:42 PM

Offhand, do you know the OD of a 9" axle tube? Rig isn't near me but I need to order some tabs. Let me know ASAP, gotta order some shock tabs too! Thanks.

its a 3" tube if i remember right

Gravel Maker · 11-14-2007, 09:05 AM

Both 3" and 3 1/8" tubes, the 3" axle cutout tabs are fine.

gtxracer · 11-16-2007, 06:38 PM

AWESOME SHIPPING!!!! I bought my brackets and tabs on Wednesday and they arrived today! THANK YOU!!!! I will definately buy from you guys again!!!

Gravel Maker · 11-18-2007, 05:54 PM

We try, usually we are 95%+ in stock and we have really stocked up for Christmas......

Gravel Maker · 11-22-2007, 11:41 PM

Or weak......

When you build think Ruffstuff Specialties!

Gravel Maker · 11-29-2007, 07:29 AM

Gift Certificates, that way they don't even have to understand what you want

Gravel Maker · 12-04-2007, 10:57 PM

no reason to play with the jigsaw puzzle, our brackets are already 1 piece!

Gravel Maker · 12-15-2007, 11:12 AM

Of the right kind!

Gravel Maker · 01-01-2008, 04:11 PM

Build it to last!

Strength, Quality, Value! Words to live by......Not a short-term offer to catch your attention, something you can rely on to be there.....As always, built right the first time!

Gravel Maker · 01-06-2008, 11:06 AM

The holidays killed us when it comes to new items but we are back on schedule and producing new stuff, keep checking!

Gravel Maker · 01-08-2008, 09:39 PM

Pics tommorrow.....

SOR4X4.COM · 01-19-2008, 02:45 AM

These link tabs are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just used a set to make new lower control arm brackets and another set to make shock mounts on a TJ. I now have a Very Happy Customer who isn't likely to bend his control arm mounts anymore.

Thanks Dan for making me look good.

Gravel Maker · 01-19-2008, 09:44 PM

And what are you doing online at 5:45am on a Saturday? Go back to bed!

Sorry, forgot about the baby, I take it back......

moveaside · 01-26-2008, 08:12 PM

I have to admit I've looked at these on your website a bunch of times and never thought the triangle based ones work like this. I need the space atop the truss for the ram and the frame style mount you have gave me limited vertical separation is this application. These little babies gave me the best of both worlds. They take up less space atop the truss(for my toy axle)they have more surface area to weld to and they sit higher for more separation as well. I'll get these welded up and post pics later.
Thanks again.
