Ive heard that you can get 1.5" pipe and bend it in the pipe bender, then cut it in half (length wise, along the curve of the die) and weld it into the die. Since the I.D. of the pipe is 1.5", and the O.D. of the tube is 1.5", tube should fit nice and snug in the modified pipe die.

You would be cutting a piece of tube like this http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/...e0d7c1db_o.jpg and welding it into the die.

Make sense?

 

Very nice!!! I'll keep that in mind!

 

Here's a couple of the past few wheelin trips...

So your really convinced on the chop huh? A stretch but no chop would get my vote.

 

Ya pretty set in my ways as far as the chop goes... That is if I ever get money to start it, & the axle swap!

 

i really like the cup holders, now im gonna go surchin in salvage again hahah, nice build mud flap thing is dece also

 

Well it been way too long since I've upgraded anything on the Red Rock Monster! And I've been thinking about the D44/9" swap, but I've seen first hand that that setup is more headaches than is worth! SOOOO...

Has anyone heard about the back orders on the Aussie for the 8.25????

Guess I better get to the JY & find an 8.25... haha

 

Found my tires!!! They are a set of 5 wrangler MTRs 35x12.5r15 for $450 on ksl.com classifieds! I checked them out today, & they are gonna look SICK!






I tried to talk him down on the beadlocks, but he held firm at $900 (wheels & tires)

 

Well there they are, almost didn't fit!

 

I am a happy man!!!

 

So I had to play hooky from work today, but I pulled my 8.25 29 spline out of a '01 XJ at the JY for $130!

Also picked up a intake outta a neon (guess what I was looking for) paid $5 for it!

 

Which JY?? I know there was a green colored late model at pull n save last week. I stole the carpet out of it.

 

It was tear-a-part!

 

Mounted up the MTR's today...
