Caps for the leaf spring U-bolt nuts.
I was alittle bored this weekend so I was looking for places to add some more spikes. It's a good thing I added the taller bumpstops...they will hit the traction bar axle mount before the spikes hit the bottom of the cab.

Yeah, imagine if the bumpstop failed ugh!
These are more for the show/shine days. I bored the center of the spikes so they fit snug over the nuts and used 2 set screws to cinch them down. This way if I need to move them to another location I'm not binded to the threads of the u-bolts.
Not bad for $15 of aluminum round bar and a few hours playin on the lathe...lol!

Hmmmm....never really thought about that.
I'm really a novice at this machinist trade. My good friend owns a machine shop in Avenel NJ...I'll throw him a plug in-case anyone has used him before. He's been slowly showing me how to fab stuff up.

Ever thought about tire chains and spikes on the sidewalls? For show of course...

A little bit more of a modern take on the same idea.
