My jeep will by no means be "done" for the blessing, but hope to have it good to wheel at least.
If you still need these i have a set from Rocky Road you can have for $20 shipped.

Ended up cutting out some tabs, out of some .170 gauge at work, need to drill for my bolt, then probably box the "upper side" and burn them in...

Not the most appealing things...they will do the trick though.

Got quite a bit accomplished today.

Barrelmaker came out and Lended a hand.
Big thanks!

Got the driver side 2x6 rockslider/mini boat side fitted and welded in. Eyeballed Alinement, and a bunch of final welding ie frame stiffeners, longarm x-member, track bar frame side bracket. Also made some BPEs/shock relocation brackets since my shocks are short, before couldn't unseat the coils, now can drop them out about 4".

Still need to get rear shocks on, passenger rocker/mini boatside, gas tank installed, re bleed the brakes (air in lines still)
Stock LCA mounts cut off, fenders and header panel out back on, Bumpstop, and final Alinement. I'd say do-able in a week

They work well for that, i'll put them against a tree or rock and swing myself around something.

Yeah, I've came down on them HARD about 5 times on each side since ive been wheeling with them and i guess it finally bent the outer edge up and now the doors will rub on it when it opens on the drivers side. Mine are fully welded to the sheet metal up top and have 4 braces on each side to the unibody rails.
