looks good man

 

thanks guys... hoping to get some work done this afternoon. been busy all morning

 

well i didn't get alot done on saturday .. had some things to take care of at the church. but i did manage to get my rear bumper started. I am using the same size steel 3x5x1/4 wall that i used in the front. I made some plates out of 1/4" steel and drilled hole in them to tie it into the stock location. Then used 2"x2" heavy wall tubing to tie the actual bumper to the plate. I am planning on using this same tubing to extend the bumper forward under the rear qtr. then i will run it over and connect it to the chasis.

I also found two of my old clevis hooks and sand blasted them and put a fresh coat of paint on.

Thinking of puting air fittings on the two bumpers so that i could fill them up at home and then air back up later with out having a compressor on board. Has any one here done this and if so was there enough air to fill up all 4 tires?

 

i havent but i dont think you would have that much, but you could use them as your air tanks for an onboard air compresser

 

i found a jeep getting parted out on craiglist this morning so i went and took all foor door latches of it. since none of mine would lock and the dr. rear door is stuck locked and closed. Not sure what to doo there. I also picked up the whole front grill including all the lights got all of it for 30 bucks thought it was pretty good

 

barrowed a tire and wheel from a friend today and threw it on just to get an idea of what it gunna look like.

the tire was a 33x12.5 on 15" wheel with 3.75" bs.

i gained alot of room by cutting the rear qtr and by folding the fenders.
I also cut the front fenders today. not sure if i like the look but def. gained alot of room. I think i may mod the stock flares and put them back on up higher i clamped them in place and i think they look pretty good. ill get some pics of them up her in a bit.
i set the lift so that the top of the roof rack was 72.5" from the ground which is a little more than 4 " over stock.

 

red jeeps are my favorite. looks good man, you are doing great.

 

well guys i have been doing alot of work on the jeep past couple weeks but i have been busy and forgot all about posting the progress so i thought i would give you all an update on whats been going on.




i will start with the rear bumper. built that out of the same material as the front (3x5 tubing 1/4 wall). then i ran 2x2 tubing under there rear guarter.
boxed the ends in with 1/4 inch plate same plate was used to mount it to the stock location.

 

painted the bumper and i have also installed a 4.5 inch rc lift with the full leaf pac. the old springs were shot and one was broken. i also got 4 bfg mud terrains on ar rims for 550.00 all of the have 90% tread on them. and i got the gears installed that my buddy gave me. I put new bearings and seals in both axles while i hade them apart. I also made some quick discos for the front sway bar and removed the rear one. i got alot of lift in the rear and took it for a spin to see about drive line vibes. it vibrates prety bad under acceleration so ive got to do something about that. the t case drop wase just over an inch but i think i will have to do a s.y.e. kit. here she is as of today.

 

Awesome build.

 

sweet build love it

 

thanks guys gunna start on the rust in the floors this week and duraline the body around the wheel wells and down the side from lower body line down.


i also want to do a s.y.e kit to get rid of the vibes ut that will have to wait a couple weeks.
