Functional Limb Risers

[azjl#3]

After going to the local OHVs a few times, my JLU is taking quite a beating from branches. I know most people with limb risers are doing it for cosmetic reasons, but I'm looking for some truly functional risers to get the branches up and over the hood/pillars/windshield. What's out there? I see a few kits out there that drill/rivet to the inner A pillar, but I will have a Maximus-3 roof rack going on in a few weeks and would highly prefer to tie in to that. Thoughts?

Cordless reciprocating saw, no more branches.

Wanted to say thank you to @BullMoose1776 for putting this together. Just made a set of these myself for my 392 from this list. Way sleeker than anything else out there. Love the minimalist look to them.

Here's the list:

You can choose any brand of Limb Risers you want, and you might be able to start there and make them work. I didn't like the heavy turnbuckles. I just wanted a sheathed wire, so that made it much more complex (and costly) for me to complete.

How have they been working for you? I'm considering picking this project up again, especially since it looks like you have the same roof rack as I do.

This looks perfect, awesome job!!!
I'm hoping to ask for some help, I'm having a hard time find and search the product from Wicks Aircraft Supply, any chance you can find the link or product number? Thank you.

I haven't done this mod but I believe this is what you're looking for.
MS21259-4RH (shows out of stock)
You would strip the overmold on the portion of cable that inserts into cable end and crimp
with the Wire Swaging Tool.

What a great job. One question I have is why didn't you go this route from Steinjager? Steinjager sells these https://steinjager.com/shop/Exterio...IY-Cables-49.5-inches-overall-length-J0045635 which can be bought at different lengths. I bought them for my JK and just use a set of mounts similar to what you used "AMAZON:KOLEMO Limb Risers Kit Compatible with for 1997-2021 Jeep Wrangler JK/TJ/JL Through The Jungle Protector Obstacle Eliminate Rope $40". It would save on the extra stuff needed. Or am I missing something? Thanks
