Ok so I have a request, can you go in to some detailing regards to the square to classic round head light conversion? I want to get an idea on where to start as I want to convert over to round on my XJ and keep the front almost stock just to have a bit of the classic Jeep out front -0lllllll0-

I'll tell you, if I wanted to live in this weird sub arctic January we've had here, I would have never left Caribou Maine!! At least there would be a go fast sled outside my back door to make me feel warm with adrenalin!!

On a side Jeep note..........I think my help threw parts of my steering build into the scrap barrel.........not happy, can't find parts anywhere...

Just finished reading the entire build! I've been reading it on/off since you mentioned it the other day. You are definitely someone who knows and enjoys what he is doing. If your ever up in Maine look me up. Happy Easter to you and yours!

Phewwww........Where to start?
First, thank you to all you Jeepers that have me working my **** off! It's been a crazy spring......

I have a small confession....................I recently stole a couple hours for myself and the 'Felony......Sorry, I couldn't take it.....I needed it...

So here we gooooooooooo....................I finally got around to the rockers, got the 2 x 6 tube notched and in place for welding.....

The 2x6 tube conversion is pretty standard now a days, not being able to leave things alone..........I added what I'm calling a Rocker Knocker, this will help with tire protection, help me kick off an obstacle, provide a step for my kid and best of all, create a connection area for the rear steel tube flare.....
