I'm going to be fabbing up a bunch of crap for my Jeep experimenting with different idea's. First I will fab myself up some beefy rock sliders. Then I'm gonna attempt a swing out tire carrier. Once I've built my stuff I will post my design's and possibly fab up some stuff for people for a little side cash. Complements of a buddy with a fab shop, I have access to pipe bended, drill press, heavy duty welder, and a plasma cutter.
