Here's a finished pic of the bar.



The parts are now at powder coat and should have them back next week. I can't wait to get it all back together!

I'll post up updates when I have them!

Got the pan back from powder. Turned out pretty nice! Did everything in the standard black wrinkle finish that we use all the time at my day job.





Still waiting on the other stuff tho.

Finally had some time to get the pan installed. I'll have the anti-wrap bar on later this week as well.

Thanks guys! The anti-wrap bar has been installed finally! I ended up relocating the charcoal canister directly under the pumpkin and out of the way of the bar. Turned out pretty super schweet.

Ignore all of the finger prints

At what point did you get the axle wrap? I installed some shackle relocation brackets and now my axle is all over the place.

As soon as I put the turbo on which eventually led to a bent set of OME leafs and nuked the pinion bearings. A lot of lifted and bigger tire'd XJ's will have this problem however due to the thin leaf packs.

It's all about torque, so tire size & gear ratios are a big factor.
