Got around to replacing my motor mounts they were worse than I thought but the brown dog mounts went in great everything bolted right in very satisfied with those things plus I don't think ill have to worry bout those things wearing out again

So I started on my front bumper today really like how it's turning out can't take all the credit got the idea from a fab thread on here seen it on marks2000xj and liked the idea although I couldn't get my hands on any 3x5 angle I made do with what I could get and I like free so I started with 1/2 x 6" flat steel and a piece of 1/4 x 3" flat and kinda made my own angle but really liking what I got so far tell me what y'all think

Well got my spartan locker in this weekend very pleased with it also had to replace both wheel bearing hub assembly's but she's all running in good shape now took out for a lil test drive and was amazed by the difference if your not locked your missing out in life lol so this week I'm gonna replace my floor pans so I can get the inside under coated and all put back together gonna order me a cold air intake and install my hood ins soon and hopefully start prepping for paint soon

Well I'm learning the more I get into this the more i want to do and the more I want to spend but there's so much to do and my work schedule is always getting in the way of my jeep time and I'm getting hooked more every day it's so addictive but I've got my tail lights fixed and got my tail light covers back on also started on my home brew floor pans and there looking good also started painting some of my front end stuff still lots to do I want to get the inside done and concentrate on the exterior but still need to build a cage never enough time lol here's some pics what I've been doin lately

Some of the parts I got to get put on alloy axle seals, superior hood pins also waiting on my cold air intake should be here anyday also going to the ubolt conversion for my ujoints I got a few sets of these

Yea it's MRA offroad bumper build its in fabrication I think the guy is Marks2000xj I copied his idea and did my own thing he used angle which would have been much easier but couldn't find any

Xj moo

Been crazy busy with work but found lil time for the jeep, floors were rusted out so I fixed those and herculined the inside finally pained the exterior and mounted my bumper
