Anyone know anybody AL local selling a tire carrier?

 

I hear ya. The new obstacles were awesome. The green cj was the first rig to make it up this one.



This guy was one of the first to make it up too. He was running racing fuel and pushing about 500hp.

Hopefully, I'll see you out there the 8th.

 

Who's going to September Slam @ Grey Rock on the 21st?

 

If I can get my lockers and gears in by then, I will go. I miss Grey Rock......even though it is slowly disappearing.

 

Any body heard about rocktoberfest at choc?

 

There is a guy up here in Huntsville that does custom Jeep bumpers and sliders. He may be able to do you one. Let me know if you need his contact

 

what are his prices on bumpers and sliders?

 

It depends. He is a college student that has pretty good welding and fab skills. For reference, he quoted me $500 for a custom rear bumper with shackles, hitch reciever, and tire carrier. Thats pretty good considering what other "vendors" are asking. He really messes more with CJs and TJs but he has no problem doing an XJ. Look him up on Huntsville Craigslists under Auto Parts. There will be alot of pictures of custom bumpers and sliders.

 

What are you running for lockers and how of gearing ya going?

 

$500 is super cheap! I have a buddy going to Auburn to be an mechanical engineer who also is a wheelin buddy of mine... That is going to help me make a bumper. We are in the process of drawing it up. He Fab'd his own sliders and rear winch bumper on his Yota! Very good work!

 

Here is his bumper.

 

He did everything himself except for some brackets, that he had Blue Torch Fab laser cut. If you come to Grey Rock, you can check it out...

 

Blue Torch Fab is 2 blocks from my work

 

Im gonna run 4.56s with Aussie up front, and not exactly sure what I will run in the back.........probably another Aussie. I want a mildly built DD.

 

That is a sweet bumper. I like the transparency of tube bumpers like that. Hmmmmm
