disclaimer ---IMHO AFAIK as following


1) base plate thickness minimum .5 " Maximum .75 "

2) mount knob ( fits at right angle to base --to which D shackle attaches ) thickness Minimum .75 " maximum 1.0 "

3) bolts for base plate to chassis --thickness .5 " -- 4 Nos

4) choose appropriate dimensions suitable to your bumper & for serviceability

Spike, Sudharsan Bhai Thanks for the inputs.

The thickness of army spec rear hooks base plate is .4" .Will do a search for 5" plate at coimbathur or else I will use the original Army D-Hooks. My plan is use the same rear hook plate on the front also.

Thats not the thickness Sreejesh so its not 4''. See the plate, its bent over. It looks like a 10-12 mm thick plate at the most. I guess a 3/4th inch base plate should do if welded properly.

Custom made D-Ring Mount for the front bumper.

Finally, I got it Registered .

Hey sreejesh, Amazing journey there.

Tnx!!..

[sreejeshmp]

SVS, TN 66 is Coimbathur central.

blueblooded , I will PM you the details or call me.

dhanushs , The Other 550 is smoother than My 550.Gopal is reliable person I know him.


Few accessories for my Jeep. Diff guard from Vijay and few hooks.

[sreejeshmp]

Small DIY . I accidentally broke one of my reverse light and I was in search for a red rear light(Don't know the exact name for that type red light) so decided to build one from the broken army type reverse light.

Glass cut from a Gypsy break light and fitted in the reverse light frame.




Now Jeep is at workshop for the Suspension rebuild . I decided to remove the extra leafs on the front and rear and kept 7 for front and 9 for rear. changed All the shackle bar, Bushes.

[sreejeshmp]

Diff guard fitted its really simple and I did it myself. All we need is a 12-13 Ring Spanner and 10- TVS jeep Clutch Bolts.
