Well our roof line is almost exact. I measured right about 74 - 75 inches. Where did you measure your unirail? I measured right behind the cross member. Mine are also plated with 3/16", and sits right about 24". My 37's are less than half tread and with about 12 psi are measuring a hair under 35".

 

i measured mine after the cross member

 

here is a reference of mine. i am 6'

 

Right on. Just curious, how tall do your tires measure?

 

32 - 3/4" and they are bad lol

 

Just spent the last few days reading through your thread, sick build man.

I was wondering what size joints and tube you are using for your rear links.

 

sweet build man looks good

 

Did you end up moving your box rockers up? It looked like they were at the 90 degree bend under the sill earlier but now look like they're flush with the sill.

 

So do the kids get to choose paint color of the cage paint now too?

 

Thanks! My upper links are AQ size drill rod. I work for a drilling company. The lowers are the same as the fronts, 2" pipe, 1/2" wall. Super overkill. Rear Heims are Ruffstuff 7/8" upper and lower.


HEy thanks, what area of Herriman are you in? I'm actually barely in Riverton... just south east of the Smiths, could almost hit smiths with a rock from my back yard.

Yes, before they were down lower, sat right below the door. Where they are now you would have to cut a couple inches off the bottom of your door to make your doors fit.

My boys (i have three, 7, 5, and 1-1/2) are obsessed with bumble bee the Transformer. They LOVE the Jeep even more now that as they would put it.. "I am welding poles to the Jeep." And they have always asked me if one day I would paint my Jeep like bumble bee.... sooooo.... once it's done the body panels are turning yellow, all the cage will be black, and of course, it wouldnt be complete without some black racing stripes.

 

im just west of the smiths i can almost see it from my house lol

 

Thanks, I was pretty sure this was the case. I've got 2x6 cut in at the lower section. I've been needing to tie it together with the frame rails but haven't gotten around to it.

 

My three year old is gonna be "the lello transbormer" for halloween. He'd probably freak out if I painted mine like that.

 

Little more done yesterday...

Welded a piece of plate on here...



And since bumper mounts sticking out are tied in already, i just cut a relief slit in the metal, bent them over and welded them right to the plate. Plenty stout.



Trying to keep my winch as high and far back as possible, i'm thinking maximum clearance. This is what I ended up with.



And got the stinger bent up.. looks a little big in the pic, but when you look at the Jeep as a whole it looks about right. My wife said it looked fine. So I took her word for it and burned it in.

 

Cory, its lookin' good! I can't wait to see it finished!
