that is some amazing work and talent you have there, buddy! I'm from York, PA. I greatly admire the dedication and skill you have put into this project. Any pics of how the rockers are mounted underneath?

I can try to get you some this weekend but I cut the floor out so the rockers weld to the inner rockers and the floor and are also welded to a 1x1 angle welded to front of rocker seam and mounts made for my skid plates

Dang! One picture, and you make the R&P look easy! Took me 15 times to get it right, and I had yellow grease everywhere!

Axle is back in the jeep and aligned. The rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket is swapped out so its time for a good engine degreasing!!! Hopefully I can get some stuff done this weekend!

So I got the RCVs installed this weekend and also got everything greased up! got a chance to flex it out and noticed that the front fenders are too narrow to swallow the front tire on the up travel so hopefully I will get some time this week to cut them in half and widen them up!

Ended up waking up early and starting on the fenders cut the bumper for clearance to move front half of fender up wanted to finish them but ran out of mix gas. Both sides are tacked up and plate is tacked in hoping to run and grab gas in the morning and get the fenders finished up and the bumper re capped

Finished up the front flares have to trim the fenders still and add the brackets for when the sway bar is disconnected and cap the bumper back off but all in all happy with how it turned out

Got a little time today, got the front fenders cut and installed some brown dog motor mounts. The old one on the driver side was completely cracked in half.9

Brown dog mounts are awsome. I got em a while back and love em. Not really any vibes either for poly mounts.
