okay cool stuff

 

Any progress in the past few days?

 

haha, no

maybe ill get to it this weekend.

but if not... well be closed the 26th through the 1st. so ill definitely get to it then

 

Got some beef in for the 8.8

1/2" ring 3/8" cover

 

Also finished my "mini tub" in the rear.

Tucks the 33's pretty well, so I think my 35's should tuck without rubbing...

We will see next weekend!

 

have any pics from the inside? i have to figure out what im going to do with mine in the rear still

 

ill get some, but its just the new steel from the seam to the fender.

 

gotcha.. im going to follow the same outline.. i just have to cut past the pinch welds.. not sure how im going to fill it in yet.. looking good btw

 

it is kind of a pain to do it the way i did.

if i had to do it again i would cut out the entire inner fender and just build new ones.

i just used 12gauge sheet metal and hammered and cut into the shapes i needed

 

i work in a steel mill rolling flat rolled steel.. so getting the steel wont be a problem.. just have to figure out the best way to do it.. i'd like to be able to keep my gas tank there too..

 

Good luck smashing that diff cover haha.

Looking sweet man! Can't wait to see the new rubber on it!!!

 

Thanks, its normally on the 35's, but I've been doing a lot of driving so I put on these 33x12.5 bajas (worn down to 31's).

 

awesome man... this is such a hardcore jeep... I'm hopin' I can convert my jeep to 4-wheel soon.... we'll have to hook up and go wheeling then

 

Wow ha ha that is the beefiest cover I have ever seen! Looks great

 

got some progress on the jeep today!

first off added some 1/4" steel to the front bumper and cleaned up the edges some.


and installed my new non-crushed in diff cover....i love this thing!



and began my gas tank relocation
removed my tank. and got a better look at the dents. these dents cause me to not be able to put gas in my tank (i filled the tank with compressed air to pop the dents out before i put the tank back in, no pictures though)













the tank is just temporarily sitting in place right now, ive got a delivery of steel coming tomorrow so i can build the framing for it and the mounts, and after that the tank, filler tubes, and shock tower will all be boxed in with sheet metal.


and i still need to build a rear bumper so i can get rid of this dumbass hitch. but it stays for now because that is the only recovery point i have in the rear. but otherwise the clearence i gained is amazing, there is sooo much space under there now
