VT, post a pic of your fox with the NERF bars installed. That came out awsome.

No doubt, it's nice today so maybe I can take a few pics and get them up tonight, although I'd rather wait for the weekend when I can spend the time to polish the cladding to match the bars. Right now I have a nice two-tone lower body.

Oh and btw, something started rattling on the passenger side Tuesday night. I'm going to get up under it tonight and see what I can find. Given that vague description do you have any ideas on what to look for?

**tom4bren** · 04/09/2009, 11:12 AM

Something loose???

If you can't find it by next weekend, call I'll stop by whilst down that way (although Wifey will never forgive me since it's supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend

)

Hopefully that won't be necessary - I don't want you to have to take a bullet for me!

It's a beautiful day outside so I'm going to slip out a little early and play with it this afternoon. I noticed that the carpet bucked up a little near the passenger's side kickplate, so maybe the bolt under it is just a little loose. When I asked Tone for installation tips he recommended retightening the bolts after a few days, so maybe that's all that's required.

We'll see...

First thing to check would be the metal splash guard I cut to make it fit. It may help to schlep some RTV on it where it meets the bracket for the NERF.

**vt_maverick** · 04/09/2009, 10:27 PM

I decided to try some good old fashioned WD-40 tonight after work, and at least for now it seems to have fixed the problem. The creeking/vibration seemed to be coming from the area where the bracket contacts the body bolt, so I just doused that area and called it a night.

We'll see how long it lasts. If WD-40 isn't the long-term solution, I'll try silicone spray next and then work up to RTV. Thanks again for the suggestions Tom!

You can also get white lithium grease in a spray. It will stick around a LOT longer than WD-40.

So... advantages of lithium grease vs. silicon spray?

Nice! I think I see Isuzu snowflake rims, but what tires are you running?

Looks great!

31" BFG AT. And yes those are Isuzu rims from a Trooper.

Was reading back through this thread and realized I never answered Tom's request to post pictures of the step bars. I figured while I'm at it I probably should just post fully updated pics:

Any other Foxfires out there who've yet to check in?

**virtualruffy** · 10/20/2010, 12:02 PM

Thought I had done it but must have missed it last time I was on (arguably awhile ago).
