alright guys, it was an ok weekend, got a good bit done until something no to good happened with my gfs family, but here is what i got done till friday, i wasnt able to make a members roof rack but will get it to it asap, not much was done to my jeep and as you know i speak with pics and little words

trimmed my fenders




Built a big roof rack about seven feet long


and had time to build a front bumper friday, it was the coolest bumper ever!!! pics of some of my welds, made out of 1/4 inch 2x4, mounts were made out of 3/8s inch and shackle mounts are half inch built into the mounts, the hoop is a 1.75 inch with a .12 wall, this thing is pure beef






also i overheated that ryobi grinder that i just bought a month or so ago! so a new one was needed


and here is what happened to the drill bits while drilling out the shackle holes

jonjon99xj

thanks man!

jonjon99xj

made some rockers for a customer


good penetration


and cut and folded one side or the rear quarters, all i had time for here is the thread i followed kinda
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/c...t-way-1007865/


start


cut off three inchs of the bottom off


started ti cut the back piece off
\

jonjon99xj

then cut a little more off


startin to look like it should


start to fold up the inside first



the inside is up!




then hammer the outside up


now i decided to weld it up instead of rivets or screws


a nice gap to fillin


keep one of these close


the paint will catch on fire


paint it and admire



the reason for hte cut and fold was so i can build my rear bumper



i finally built my own roof rack too, it attaches at six places to the roof rails
