AR | S.I.T.H. Modular Bumper Shackle - Common Hardware REIMAGINED

Just because something has been around for a hundred years and commonly used doesn't mean it cant be looked at with today's technology, design principles, and manufacturing capabilities to refine the product.

I doubt there has ever been a company that sat down with the intent to make a vehicle specific shackle and not just resize hardware to make it work, but design it to fit the vehicle's design and its purpose. This isn't a rehash of crane tackle or something you would find in the hands of a longshoreman. The S.I.T.H. is 100% Bronco Modular Bumper, through and through. Made to be used, abused, and torture tested. It's a statement piece.


The Numbers and Specs

SITH-7075 T6 rated at 74,000-78,000 PSI weighs in at 1.7 lbs ea. (FEA data to be provided soon)
The Bolt-18-8 Rockwell B55 70,000 lb Tensile 35,000 lb Shear

Color

Watermelon Sugar Red & BADLANDS Orange - Powdercoated and then post machined for highlights

Why we're doing this

I want a bespoke recovery shackle. One that doesn't jingle. One that doesn't sway. No need for silencers. I want a bolt that isn't off the shelf. I actually want it hidden. I want it clean. I want a shackle with some presence. I want them to be asymmetrical. I want a shackle that doesn't look like it's from Harbor Freight sprayed in a fancy shade of KRYLON.

Availability

The S.I.T.H. will be release in two colors. You can select between Watermelon Sugar Red and BADLANDS Orange. S.I.T.H. will begin machining, beginning the week of January 3rd. We'll shoot for ship dates in mid February.

We'll continue to release custom colors and finishes throughout the year. Continue to follow the thread for upcoming colors.

Pricing:

Retail price for the AR | S.I.T.H. is $425.00

BRONCO6G members are eligible for a 20% discount, making the price per pair: $340.00!!

@EIGHTLUG what would the timeline be for a set of cyber orange?

 

[TXAG96]

We’re working on that too…

Initial renderings of C.O.T.A., MONZA and IMOLA. Track focused billet wheels that will carry at least two patents.

You make something that looks awesome on my Bullitt and I'm sending it now...

 

[MileHighWT]

Three hundred and forty dollars for unrated shackles?

Really?

Actually, the S.I.T.H. have a full F.E.A. performed by a P.E. and co-F.E.A'd by a Engineering Professor at MIT. This data will be visible on the website description, once it's available. I have yet to see any company go to these lengths and also publish their work.

Go ahead and SEND IT.

Cyber Orange and Badlands Orange will be in the run stats starting in about a week. I suspect order ship date to be in the early part of March.

Just making sure... Active Orange (Badlands Orange) will be produced first correct? It is a different shade/color than Cyber Orange.

Damnit, I'm so glad I haven't purchased wheels yet!

@EIGHTLUG Are these renders of the Tech Bronze? Also, will the S.I.T.H. eventually be available in Tech Bronze? I haven't Sent It yet in hopes . . .

AR Team,

Do we have

Cyber Orange and Badlands Orange will be in the run stats starting in about a week. I suspect order ship date to be in the early part of March.

@EIGHTLUG OK...so if I ordered a set back on Jan 12th (and asked to wait for the Cyber Orange run) then I should expect sometime in March? I sent an email to customer service asking and also texted on the AR website, but got nothin' back. Thanks.

There was a lag on dialing in both of the orange colors (Badlands and Cyber) so instead of holding up the entire run for that, we moved forward with the S.I.T.H. in red. Those will be shipping out starting today, through the weekend.

SEND IT (When eventually black or carb grey comes out)

I know it will be a long wait, maybe never, but prefer more of a stealth look.

Rock on. I hadn’t ordered as I don’t see cyber orange on the website. Let me know when I should drop the send it so I can get in line for CO.

Just FYI to people I don’t have a CO but it makes an excellent accent color to A51.

 

[SgroiRoy]

Do we have confirmation this is compatible with the 2022 BD & BL capable bumper yet?!

 

[MileHighWT]

Yeah uh that means absolutely nothing. Rated lifting devices involves way more than FEA.

The fact that this was clearly designed to look good and then analyzed after the fact says it all.

I won’t argue that they’re not pretty- they are- but marketing these as an actual recovery component is a mistake. Thankfully no one who actually needs recovery gear is going to buy them, I just hope someone who is new to the game doesn’t have one fail and wind up hurt or worse.
