I used 1/4 sheet steel. And a plasma cutter to cut out the shape. Then cleaned it up with a grinder. Also I used counter sunk bolts to mount mine. I wouldn't use rivets.

x2 on this - you can get away with rivets for say the cut n' folding of rear lower quarters, but when you're attaching a thicker/heavier steel to thin sheet metal, it will just tear loose

personally, I would use counter sunk screws or bolts and washers on the on the opposite end...

So do I but I'm surrounded by bayous and mud roads i have washed it twice once to paint it and once more because the school threaten to not let me park on campus anymore do to every time I'd open a door mud would clump off into the parking lot

Put the fuel pump in Sunday thanks to jeep99lifted (Andrew). Jeeps running now pretty ggood. Getting a new wheel right now. Should be pretty good in about a hour. No I just gotta pull some dents and have xjmudking (Eric) help me Fab up some tail lights and rear quarter armor.

Starter went out tonight. Fixing it sometime this week. If the Heep breaks down 1 more time this month, its getting cleaned up and sold. Can't handle the BS any longer.

Your gonna go through some **** one thing after the other constantly breaking leaking shorting out etc for a while just bare through it once its all sorted out then the fun starts

Lmfao I've been through that. $8000 in that. And the fun still hasn't started.

She's not done breaking yet haha

Pretty soo everything is gonna be brand new though I haven't had any huge issues with mine for a long time, and right around 200k miles my dad was in the same boat as you with everything breaking. And $8000? sounds like your committed to it. If you get another, you'll probably end up putting another $8000 into it.

Starters Suck when they go out! Mine went out in a jack in the box parting lot, back in December. Luckily Napa was Right there. And i had tools. So i Pulled that sucker out and go a new one. But it sucked cause it was wet Sloppy Snow....I Love your Build man. Don't sell your jeep. You have so much time and money into it!

Thanks man yeah I got it in today. She runs and drives good again. Just gotta pull some of those dents and beeline the qtr panels and make some tail lights.

Are you going to doing your tail lights like this? This is my Buddys Jeep. And then put some LED Lights in there

Yeah kinda like that but different lights.

Plasti dip that sucker!

I'm not a fan of bedliner on exterior stuff but to eachs own.. Check out mine I did with the plasti dip.

That plasti dip does look pretty good. How much it cost you to do the rockers and quarter panels and do you sand down everything oor paint rright over it?
