I don't know the thread pitch yet, but if it is too small I can't turn it down enough to have a thick enough wall. And locally I can't get 1 or 1-1/4" DOM because they're either out and I'd have to order a whole stick or what they do have is 16 gauge.

I found that bearing online for $11, which is cheaper than the price work pays for them. I have access to a lathe to make a nut but don't know what to start with and don't want to buy a 7/8-14 tap. I tried to call yesterday but no one answered.

I was about to say.... C'mon, it says 208 right there one it.

81-91 Chevrolet also ran this case. It's chain driven and not that great from my 2 minutes of research on it.

$11.00 - Bearing
$20.00 - Steel, material for nut, etc
$20.00 - Tap
$100 - Labor

We're already at $151 and that's the friends and family discount.

The sides match the rear bumper so I guess they look like a pair. I'm not thrilled with how the sides came out, but it's alright I guess. I might go back and add a piece from the bottom of the 7" channel to the top of the corner.


It just looks huge.

You need to tie the outermost side pieces back to the frame brackets. Do it now before you run into anything. Ask me how I know.

I did this much.


I need to have it on the Jeep and see how I can do the fender pieces.

I'd run another smaller tube from the middle of that tube out to the small wing pointing back. I bent mine up into the fender the first rock it hit.

Yeah, there is just some sheet metal under the fender lip. I need to see how it clears and I'll add to it
