Will do...whats your plan for a back seat? My goal is to use buckets and some how make a trap door to get to the back "bed". Almost like the removable rear section from an Avalanche

I haven't decided if I'm going to put a back seat in there lol

This is the first 4 door that had actually made me want to chop mine.

I hate to break it to you, but that is not the way that spindle is supposed to mount. I have one like you got and you are supposed to drill a hole big enough for the base to go through and weld the top of the base and the bottom... I can VERY easily see that spindle or weld snap when putting a tire on it. It's not designed for the way you have it. Unless you were to a-frame the base on both sides and box it in, maybe.

It's supposed to be like this.

Nice work on the chop though. Best one I've seen with you closing it all up.

Ya I know I put it like that cause I didn't like how it would look with the bottom part sunk in the bumper I'm going to be putting braces on the sides of the spindle so it doesn't have a chance to snap

txjeeper

Thanks man. Go do your chop me need more chopped xjs out there lol

txjeeper

Got my paint in from summit it will soon look like this. Can't wait.

Bending the pipe for my swing arm hoop lol finally. Hopefully get that on in the next couple of days

txjeeper

Had a very productive day today




Got some gussets made for my swing arm and now it barely moves





I got my hoop bent at my buddy's house last night so I got that put on. I made it taller so I can accommodate 35s later on.



Also put my latch on so now it's not tied to my jeep with rope so it doesn't swing out on the highway lol.

And if you look close enough I know you will notice the hoop is tilted backwards a little. Yes I know it is the lol I made it that way so when I put the tire the rain water will run off the tire a bit.

txjeeper
