Well hopefully this all works out and maybe I can start to get paid for doing all this work somehow! Yeah luckily since I'm doing this at the shop we have a bunch of different size belt on the wall so I just got the closest one we had then had to order 2 or 3 from Pep Boys before I got one that seems good. Are you running an A/C compressor? If not I can see why they gave you a bad number although 8 more inches probably wouldn't make it around the A/C compressor :/ I have learned much self reliance in this project due to poor responses so glad I can help!
Thanks!

Everything would be there with instructions and help would be a phone call or email away, right? Well, after watching what you and the others are going through, it is probably not a viable alternative for me. But I love watching your progress, keep up the great work!  |
Thanks Bruce,
Yeah well lets just say that the wheels have really been turning lately and have already been talking to 3-4 people about doing installs for them and the possibility of making my own mounting system. The only problem that I see in making it a more "turn-key" project is the cost factor which is likely why Renegade sells what I would call a bare bones kit... it gets that basics done but that's about it.
Let's be honest, I could totally rip them apart on here but I try not to be that type of person, you know, karma and all
But I'll just say that for the $7000 I spent on their complete kit with every option leaves much to be desired and I'm CERTAIN it can be done better.
