Brandon Boom Shackles?
Where does everyone get these Brandon Booms I hear about. I have seen boomerang shackles but not these.

They used to be available from Brandon, a JF member who made them himself, but after he cut his finger off with a laser and hasn't been around much since.


It's a shame because he's a really great guy & the forum really benefitted from having him here.

Wow, that really sucks. I hate it for him. We lost a guy to cancer on the Ultimatejeep site several years ago. That's the forum I was on for years and years, still am actually. As for the boomerangs. I run currie greasable ones front and rear and they have performed well.

Yeah it does suck!

I really had a good time clowning around with Brandon, and his sig line still has a quote from a post I made. I PM him every so often & we talk, but he just kind of lost the fire he used to have.

I have some laser cut Jeep grill/windshield style badge/emblems he made for me. He's a really great guy.

yeah. I was only on for maybe 5 months before he had the accident and was really starting to wonder where he was. I pm'd him a while ago and he hasn't responded. If anyone gets in contact with him tell him everyone said hi.

X2 Here - I am running a set of his booms and love them. Talked back and forth with him a few times while working the details out on the booms and he seems like quite a nice fellow.. Hope he gets well, gets his motivation back and re-joins us on here...

Tempting!

My engine just started running on all 4 cylinders again yesterday, it had been running on only 3 cylinders for almost six months and just like that the check engine light went off and it's working again So, I'm going to drive it around a little bit before taking a trip up there again, that way I can make sure it's road worthy.

But if you'd like to go we can try to plan something in the FL section!

I know you've been having some issues, glad to hear you're getting them sorted out.

Apparently, there's one in the works already.

I might be up for that.
