Looks like I forgot to update this thread on my garage. The benches are built the way they are, because I Hate sweeping around and under things. I love these benches, and they are very easy to work around.


Here's what it currently looks like. I removed the bar for more room.

Wow, time for an update!

With the new axles and front suspension done, I took it out for a few runs and it did great. However on the last run I broke an axle shaft and had to be pulled out. Which resulted in me getting pulled into a tree for the second time on the passenger side.

Now that the Jeep was in the garage for repairs, I figured it was a good time to "freshen" it up a bit.

Started off with some rust repair. Both the floors and rockers.

After those were done, I built a new front bumper. This one is very low profile, but I can still fit a winch under the radiator.

Once the bumper was done, I started on the Hybrid cage.

And finally, I bring you up to date. Once I got the cage all welded up, I through some paint on it. All the painting was done this past weekend. I didn't paint the inside yet because I plan on connecting the B and C pillars.

Oh, I also painted the Jeep White at the same time.

Time for an update.

I decided to ditch the doors and build permanent half "doors". It's very easy to get in and out, and has alot more room inside with out the door being there.

Update. Picked up a set of the JCR rear corner guards/ tail light boxes. These things are top notch. Very easy to install and fit great. :thumb: Wiring the lights was stupid easy with the factory light sockets labeling the wires.

Also built a new mirror for the Drivers side. Trying to make it a little more street legal for cruising around town this summer. Easily removable for trail rides.

Also put on a new radiator cap and fixed a broken wire for the fan. Ready for the trails now.
