Granted, it does say it comes with a harness bar and diagonal bracing.

No way. It includes about 1/3 of the material pictured.

Thing that sucks is that I'll need some bends on the tube I'll add running from the b pillar to the harness bar. I think most everything else can be straight.

Like mine? lol There's some slight bends in the diagonal pieces just above the headrests. I guess you can't see them in this picture.

Yeah, I would like to do that. Basically just that X and some more on the roof and hatch area.


Where are the lap belts mounted on your 5 pour harness?

If I have things figured out, and I convert the front over also, I could keep 2 spare soft lines in the trailer, one long one that would work for either side front or the line that connects the axle to the body, and a shorter one for the rear calipers. I thought of trying to make all 5 the same but that was going to suck, might just carry one long spare and could throw a few coils in it if I need to. Using AN style fittings make it real easy to carry female and male caps to remove and isolate if there becomes an issue with any part of the system. Last year over at MM I spit a front caliper, then it pushed one of the pistons out and I was pretty much done for the day, with this set up I could just cap the line and keep on gettin it with 3 brakes.

Hhmm that'll work! Hadn't thought of It... my buddy could probly make them that way also... less pieces... I just use OEM brake lines front and rear with these 12in extensions and all can be bought at oreillys if i ever break one...

Only time I've ever popped a caliper was when the pads and rotor were so far gone the piston came all the way out lol... i bought it already scrubbing so i was in no hurry and could still stop lol... i would just replace it in the field though?

So far I haven't broke anything I could repair in in a couple hours... even when I grenaded my driveshaft driveshaft and 8.8 flange... MJ 4x4 driveshafts arnt a easy find lol... bought a ranger driveshaft for $20 and welded them together in some barn... been like that 2 years after lol

Hey guys I created a group on Facebook about 4x4 tech, rides, events, and buy/sale/trade. I'm trying to get a large group together for some rides. I know of plentiful trails up here in N. GA and invite anyone that has a 4x4 and are in the north of atl zone, west of ashville in NC and east of Chattanooga to come to our group.

N. GA Jeepers

Yea yer right there is a N.Ga club that is nearly impossible to get into. I tried but gave up. I mostly made the group for the less populated areas of NC ga an TN that get no recognition of other groups. I live 5 miles from Bell, Trey, Persimmon, 10 mile from Beasley and 15 from Durhamtown Tellico. All the groups I been in service the atl ashville and Chattanooga areas. But I know for a fact the atl jeepers run all over these local trails. Why I made this group. Plenty out there that become overpopulated with bid city jeepers, talking jk jku lj, ect. Leave no room for us xj, tj, yj, CJ, and even yota and Chevy. I ride these trails often but not many round here know of these. If it works fine if it don't I get a star for effort.

Anybody use led light strips from, say, Amazon as rock lights. I can get 16.4 ft of led lights for $7. Wanted to get y'all's opinion on this.

I have used em all over my xj. Put em in my head unit, my floorboards, and the shifter. I got bored of em tho, too much wrk. I lined my entire tub of my CJ in em, waterproof, lined my k5 head unit, my yj has em.in the head unit. The strip comes with 1 pre soldered wires positive and neg. Rest u do yer self as in u cut and solder in designated spots. Do yerself and the next owner of yer jeep a favor and buy a good solder. I used the Pos Walmart stick solder, never heats up enough and its a terribly impossible an painstakingly long task in itself to get the solder to stick to the led and the wire with a cold solder.
I love em, adds flare and cheap lighting to your car, can leave em on all night and never drain your battery. I just need a better solder till I do any again. Plus Walmart sells a short strip 10 bucks. That's only 7 and u get 16 feet.
