a few upgrades to my HLE

chopped my cage 5", made a rear bumper and rock sliders







used these 1/2" rivet nuts to anchor to, they work great

I never had any luck with those rivets staying tight.

Nice work I like that rear bumper and rock sliders. The rivets you used do they mount to the metal part of the frame? I am not familiar with them and how they work.

as you hold the main bolt and tighten the nut on the install tool it bulges the inner part
of the nut against the outer ring.......just like a normal rivet except it has threaded insert
on the backside....these here are used on steel power poles, so with the insert tool it
tightens them very tight

nice

Rivet-Nut or nutsert as they are called. Northern-Tool has the whole setup. Pretty handy things.

what's not to like bout the HLE

Cage looks good chopped too.

Very nice. You have it looking good!

Nice

looking good jerry

GREAT WORK

Looks good I like the chop on the cage.

Nice work Jerry......We use rivnuts and nut inserts all of the time at work. They work great. But, if you use some that aren't the grip range you need than yes they will loosen up on you. But, when they are correct grip range they are tuff to beat. We used them all the time to put Turbo Wings on Peterbilts when I was younger so we didn't have to pull the interior apart. Never had one come back from being loose. Great job Jerry can't wait to see it in person.

nice job

Like the use of the nut certs. I have them on my RZR and Jeep and haven't had any issues out of them.

Looks like your ready for The Rocks!
