Little bit of this, little bit of that.

WF Fab is making it look good.

Got the hip bar in. Will likely add a tube from the hip bar to the A-pillar so I can put some skins on it.

Got the B-pillar X in.

Started forming the rear of the roof.

Pretty badass rear roofline if I do say so myself.

Some sweet notches.

Adding gussets where necessary and finishing out the roof next, I believe.

Then we have to figure out what to do about a fuel system. I'd like to use the OEM tank recessed in the rear floor but I'm not sure there's enough room for that anymore.

More to come.

I have a double welded RCI 2161A on the way to the house.

Going to use a late model fuel pump and returnless fuel rail.

I'll have to make an adapter ring and draw up a custom mount for the cell.

Also, builds get no love because I don't have a light bar yet.

It'll get love once the axles get slid under the Jeep.

A 10" long piece of 1.5" tube that had to be turned down a few thousands since the fit is so tight.

Looks like we'll have to cut into the floor to make the rear seat sit flat enough for an adult to sit in it.
