mws Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 In figuring out the luggage rack for my '87, I noticed the little 4x4 emblem on the side behind the doors is in a pretty good spot to mount the crossbar. It would be cool if I could use that emblem as a cover over the mount holes when the rack is not in place. How is that emblem attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I thought it just popped off, as it was used as a mounting point for the rare OEM light bar. Will investigate further later (trucks sitting at home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I thought it just popped off, as it was used as a mounting point for the rare OEM light bar. Will investigate further later (trucks sitting at home) It covers the mount for either a light bar or a rack option they had. If I remember when I looked at he inside of mine there were 2 nuts pre-welded in place and the 4x4 emblem was just glued into those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) What rack option was that? I've got a factory rack on top of mine and it doesn't come close to the 4x4 emblem. Edited June 30, 2005 by Harbinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I saw a few overseas that had a rack that attached there. Mine is all on top as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 IIRC, it's mostly glued in place with silicon adhesive. I ran a razor blade under it a few times as I pried it off with a flat blade screwdriver. Just be careful not to put too much pressure on it while prying.

dagwoodzz Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hey guys I got some factory roof lights off a Pathy in the junkyard. I want to keep my (87' 2door) 4x4 emblems when I do the install. Is there a recommended adhesive when putting them back? I would also like to use the same adhesive on my hood vents as well. Thanks for any help.

SC88Pathy Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 WHAT!!! :o You found a light bar at a junkyard!! :o :bow: "Best find EVER" I don't think you can keep your emblems, I suppose you could superglue them on the bar. That would look kinda silly though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoodzz Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Yea, got lights, running board, & small luggage rack for 100$. I'm affraid i'll loose my emblems if I use silicon, but they need to be removable for repairs & whatnot on the lights.

Precise1 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 To re-adhere the emblems, use Monkey Snot or Gorilla Snot as it is called. Someone mentioned the 'official' name in the last 2 days but I can't remember. I'm sure the local auto supply guy willl know what you mean...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've heard of an adhesive called elephand snot, not sure if that will help though. Good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLVOX Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Or try some Kangaroo snot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj big shoe Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I used black silicon to put my emblems back when I installed the light bar and they've been holding on fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bfillmer Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Thanks about the mirror, I've been looking for one of those for a while now. That lightbar looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagwoodzz Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hey guys, I used 3M Marine Goop to adhere the original 4x4 emblems. will let you know if any problems. To remove emblems used a long razor knife and cut the adhesive. Tried first to use flat screw driver but emblem began chipping. I have the emblems that came with the light. they are dark grey with black raised letters. Free to anyone that wants them as long as postage doesn't exceed $5 US+/-. PM me with mailing address if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
