where are you planning on attaching them? axle? control arms?

 

To that MASSIVE TNT Custom's truss that I have spanned out across the top of the axle. Probably on each side just before the spring buckets.

 

Looking good, can't wait to see some action shots of this beast! I'll tell you what, that tire carrier is insanely nice!

 

The crew is supposed to go wheelin over the weekend of 4/18 so I should be able to get some action shots of the Jeep then. I'll be sure to post em!

 

Parts and craftmanship look top notch. I hope it performs as well as it looks. You may be held responsible for all the things I want to do to my Jeep if the wife ever finds this thread.

 

dude this is my favorite xj on the whole forum, and nice thread, good pics, i was wondering what kind of DS are you using the the rear?

 

Thanks man. It's my second favorite. I like CruzinIlluzion's orange beast more than mine... I aspire to be like him one day when I grow up!

I'm using a DriveLine Specialist's DS in the front (local shop in Springfield, VA) and a Tom Woods DS is the rear.

 

wow it is coming along great make sure to get some video of the wheeling trip to share

 

Your build looks great man!!!!! What are you going to do for under body Armor?

 

That looks great! Thanks for the motivation!

 

You can count on that! I can't wait to get the beast out in the woods. I'm counting down the days now.

 

I'm building my own gas tank skid out of 1/4" plate and not sure what I'm going to do for an oil pan skid yet. I have so much ground clearance that I don't even think it will be an issue to be honest. I am definitely doing the gas tank skid soon though. I'm running AJ's super rails on the rockers now for side protection.

 

I pulled a gas tank skidrow skid off of one of my parts rigs, man they are nice. Anyways To me the hardest part about fabbing one would be the mounting are right. I would look for a reciever hitch nut serts strip to get the lay out of the holes.. then everything is easy.

 

You just said it! I have an extra brand new Reese hitch that I took off of the Jeep. It has mounting tabs and the bracketry is already there. All I have to do is cut the square tube out where the receiver hole is and use that as my mounting points. Weld up some plate to hang vertically and then two pieces that form around the gas tank and wah-lah! Perfectly good gas skid.

 

Sent you a PM about a skid for sale locally.
