Subbing

 

dear alcoholic jeep ninja guy, i do not understand your post: "subbing" so i will reply with this image

 

Haha it means im subscribing or following your build thread, bookmarking it if you will

 

after i did a bunch of cutting, even through some wiring that my wife helped me fix, i started to cut to size and enclose my 2x6 tubing material for the rocker panels. these rocker panels will be used as dual air tanks further down the road so i tried to seal them up the best i could.



after the frame plates were welded in i hung the rockers and started burning. i used the 1x1 for a spacer only, mostly to go around the seat belt supports without having to cut into the 2x6 to accomidate.



tried to tie together the line i cut the body out at to the 2x6



it was a little nervy when cutting the doors to fit but i think i did ok.





had to move it out of the garage so i could do some work to other stuff before i was done








you dont just cut holes in your floor for no reason?





i realised that i definatly needed some supports from the "frame" to the new rocker panels so i made some, i decided to go with four per side.

 

like my temporary dual purpose race seat



i didnt, for some reason, have any pics of the finished product at this point but you can see them finished later.

 

i had to smack around some trails and go to the rubicon for the 2013 marlin crawl, good turnout and everything went almost semi well

 

i came back with some after math however, cost me a bit.

from unibody cracks to messed up tail lights lol

broke a link mount offf


god some twig in my tire, still held air and never actually damaged everything, it went way in there though.





track bar mount i made kinda failed on the thin unibody spot it was welded to after a few trails.


under that area i found a few more stress cracks

 

Sorry for the delay of updates i guess i have alot to tell. things like the rubicon causes alot of damage when you're running 31s and no lockers.

my rear Chrysler axle wasn't quite cutting it, i was getting annoyed of the popping back and forth of the rear axle shafts due to the c-clip bull ****. the pinion seal also took a **** so i found me a dana 44 out of a cherokee somebody had laying around. kinda neat cuz it just bolts in, although i welded the tubes and rebuilt it.

old


new

 

finally got my cracked windshield fixed up turns out my girl has cancer in the frame, nothing a whole bunch of silicon wont fix!



and to replace my sticker i had to get custom made again.
