I have Created Barpin Replacinators.

they look like what old man emu sells with thier shocks

I know, it's crazy right! They look exactly like Bar Pins! Who'da THUNK!

Clearly you are missing something insanly Obvious, so let me point it out for you.

These barpins DO NOT have flares ends. Though they are 5/8" in diameter, I can push these in by hand. I don't have to grind the edges down, or hammer then in, or even use a vice. Just a little oil and these can be pushed right it, no sleeves or anything else necessary.

ZOMG, not exactly the same as stock bar pins, but have the advantages you listed, except they are no longer pretty.



the washer sits on a lip in there and once its installed in the shock you put a anutter washer on the other end and a small c-clip in there to prevent dat shit from walking.

sorry if i'm coming across as a dick, but i just immediately saw the similarities and thought this thread was appropriate to bring it up.

fox gave me bar pins similar to the ones phil made, cept they were aluminum and deformed

looks like ome gave you similars ones, except theyre rusted to shit

small differences make a different unit

[Buffalo Phil]

Well, mine are 100x beefier then those and, well, one shock went in without a problem.

All the eating dirt and gathering dimensions from the underside of HeavyMetal with a set of calipers was well worth it.

nice job on the bpe's

They are Replacinators, not Eliminators.

this is the biggest problem i've had with mine. one of my upper mount bolts snapped while on road and instead of the other bolt holding the bp up there it just slid out. these seem like the solution i've been looking for until i decide to get bpe's

i forgot to take the e off

Just a little oil and these can be pushed right it, no sleeves or anything else necessary. They are for a stock mounting location for the rear, and I'm not cutting my jeep apart and building a shock hoop and just 'putting a bolt through it' because that to me is more work then spending an hour to make these bar pins. I have the resources and the knowledge to make these rather then chop up my jeep and make unnecessary modifications.

I was quite inebriated when I posted that, so I apologize for fucking up your thread.

But while we are on the subject, I see the advantages that you mentioned, but I probably wouldn't have done it that way myself. I just personally don't like that mounting method, and I think you could have come up with something easier to work with without chopping the shit out of your floor. There are a lot of things we all do to our vehicles that are "unnecessary", but we do them anyways. It's all a process to see what works and what doesn't, I was just trying to give some insight. IIRC Dillon made a set of BPE's that I thought was simple and effective for his rear shocks, that just used a normal sleeve and bolt. But, that's just my opinion. If it works, it works. Can't argue with that.

we did not end up putting a hole in the floor i showed him you can put a wrench in there to hold it. the replacinators worked exceptionally well

I was referring to him saying that he didn't want to chop the shit out of his jeep to make shock hoops. I thought he could have come up with another mounting method without having to deal with that style mounting method.

Got the Bilsteins in today and my Replacinators are Awesome.

Oh and Define 'Easier'. These shocks went in like it was their job to be in my jeep.

Personally, I think throwing a bolt through the shock bushing, and tightening the nut it is easier than having to deal with fishing a bolt through the top of the sheet metal, then hold it with a wrench while you locate the shock and tighten the nut with your other hand. Twice.

Like I said, if it works for you thats all that matters. I didn't mean to cause a huge discussion over something as meaningless as how you mount your shocks.
