dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
I'm either totally missing something here or do these dirty dingo mounts block the driver side ground bolt?

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
Looks like it is. You should be able to use another threaded hole though. The one below it looks like it would work. I just found out today that a dirty dingo 4x4 front crossmember won't work with the factory brake lines.... You got off easy!

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
Yeah, I had the same issue, very disappointing that there was no communication of that problem.

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
Doesn't look like the engine is in the truck, do a radius clearance for it or use a ARP 12 point bolt or both?

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
Had problems with dirty dingo mounts years ago . And he was a real A-HOLE to deal with when i called him out on his crap quality control .
But as said ANY bolt hole will do for a ground point . There not super specific to just 1 spot .

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
I agree, I called a couple times when I was having some issues and not very friendly or helpful. Seems a few minor adjustments would make it much more user friendly.

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
a small radius cut will not effect the structural integrity of the mount. It will just make you life easier.

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
ya there's no way this bolt goes on without taking a little chunk out of the mounts. I will use the bolt hole below that one. just weird that these don't already come clearanced around that ground bolt hole

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
Just to clarify my problem . His original slider mounts had welded on tabs . Once blasted in a cabinet before paint i found cold welds . He sent me a 2nd set . . Then same blast before paint and same cold welds . 1 was so bad i could stick a sheet of paper in the gap .
Not long after he offered to buy my silence off i saw he changed the design to a bent tab style . I told him his attitude and crap welds and wanting to by my silence was not good . . . So i still tell my story as it is and no b/s filler crap .

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
well the passenger side seems even worse. the motor mount hit the top bolt casting for the ac compressor

Re: dirty dingo mounts blocking ground bolt?
I really need to read the instructions...it does state to trim the passenger side motor mount at the bottom. glad I read it, I was about to grind away at the ac compressor mounting hole
