Well, gotta love vacation time, means i have more time to work on the Jeep ...

I got in my barpin eliminators from MORE, and threw the rear ones in. All of the upper bolts snapped (of course)...so i said screw it, and just welded the eliminators in over the busted bolts. Ill get some pics of it tomorrow. Ran to the junkyard, pulled the rear shocks from a Grand Cherokee, which are slightly longer than an XJ's, and do not use bar pins (so the bushings were in good shape). I bolted those in, and they work great! Nice to have shocks in the rear again haha.

Next project:

Started with this...


Then got to this:


Then to here:


And here:


A little over halfway done with it...any guesses what I'm making? Hope to finish it tomorrow...So i can start another project....

 

a roofrack?

 

ummmm a jailcell for young women, fricken petifile...lol just kiddin. looks like a roofrack to me

 

xD ^

 

nope...not a roof rack

and all the women i have in cages are over the age of 18, i swear!

 

a shelfy rack-ish type thing for in your trunk??

 

a welding table thingy?...i dont know...

 

you are correct sir! Yea, my buddy has one in his TJ, i liked the look and function, so i thought i'd build my own. Have to get some more steel tomorrow, weld on the legs, also will incorporate a support for my subbox, which will keep it from moving around while offroading.

 

Sounds sweet, I wish I had a welder.

 

Well, just about finished with it:





Test fit:



added bar to keep sub box from moving forward, and first coat of primer:



Im happy with it. I will keep it removable, and use 4 racheting straps to hold it to the 4 hooks in the back.

Oh and heres a shot of my bar pin eliminator welded to the unibody:


Never have to worry about snapping those bolts again when removing the rear shocks. These shocks cost me 11 bux at the junk yard (still a bit too short thou), good for a temporary fix. Still considering what shocks i want to buy.

 

You might want to put some sort of barrier/wall on that to keep stuff from flying off when you slam on the brakes. Anyone riding in your back seat would appreciate it.

 

thats what bungy cords are for

 

Very, very true.
