Hey, love the build. If you end up not liking those fender flares, Theres a Body mold kit you can get at auto stores, And it just presses on to the fender, Made mine look SO much better. Hides all those un even cuts
it does look great, but doesnt stay on as well as i hoped :( |
it needs the sliders...

FATTTT UPDATEE.. so hey there ladies and gents.
i have been stock piling parts for a bit and its time to start some installation tomorrow :) i picked up a new (to me) used gas tank/fuel pump along with a beefy custom skidplate for 70 bucks. https://p.twimg.com/Ak_ZK1OCEAAGcr1.jpg I also had my mom (graphic artist() make me a sticker at work :tongue_smilie: http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...05089809_n.jpg I also picked up a 75 amp pull switch to use for my roof lights (so that i dont hafta keep blowin' through rocker switches) and some other goodies SUCH AS 2" spacers for the front (already have 2" shackles" JCR stage III sliders (just painted em nice n' good) 1000 watt kenwood 10" sub & sony explode 100w Amplifier (i will be making a custom sub box/tool box within the next month or so once i have the funds amd time) .. im not sure if i wanna make a ported or sealed box yet I have my roof reverse lights mounted, but just need to finish wiring them tomorrow. and FINALLY, i am buying a used SYE kit and posi-lock cable system for 150 together so that i can go a little bigger and have the ability to have 2 lo :thumbup1: Anddd tomorrow, i am going to use a tube bender and make a stinger hoop that i may bolt to my bumper i have on now expect lots and lots of pictures tomorrow :) |
i want picssssssssssss:) did u paint the gas tank skid red or it come that way? matches the jeep perfectly
|
PICS!? oh yeah here they are... :thumbup:
it campe painted red so im just gonna keep it that way, i like it haha so today= mucho progression... first off, i installed my sliders, they will no soubt save my *** on the trail, although um kinda bummed, cause they are supposedly supposed to attatch to the pinch seam as well, wich arent long enough (i may toss a couple tack welds in there just cause i can. https://p.twimg.com/Alqn3azCIAIB_X4.jpg after gettin the sliders on, i finally installed my reverse lights.. finally https://p.twimg.com/AlqqIvFCMAIKgq-.jpg:large They are attatched to a rocker switch with a little blue light on it that i swear is gonna drive me insane.. And i also put my rooflights to a switch similar to the headlight pull switch... so they work again with no shorting out :) heres some pics of the lights.. https://p.twimg.com/AlqrYtxCMAAG-qU.jpg:large and just for comparison.. here is with the low beams only turned on... https://p.twimg.com/Alqs37BCMAEi6B4.jpg:large and here is with just the roof lights on.... :thumbsup: :headbang::001_tongue: https://p.twimg.com/AlqtHkACMAE-Cu0.jpg:large i guess theres a slight difference :icon_biggrin: and last but not least, comes the stinger that i have decided to give a try.... I bought some 1 3/4" steel tubing (black plumbing steel from home depot) and thought i could bend it with my friend's harborfreight bender.. i thought wrong... luckily, the guy at my local fab shop got a nice bend on it with his exhaust bender.. https://p.twimg.com/AlqmyOkCMAAJmYB.jpg:large I bend it 3 times so that i could mount it easier and i thought it would give it a more unique look.... here is a picture of it just mocked up and jammed in between the bumper and the grille https://p.twimg.com/AlqlONPCEAAJfgI.jpg:large I love how it looks but i know it really is too long/tall. so i plan on cutting this badboy dawon so that the lower 2 bends are level with the top of the grille... we'll see how that goes... :bangin: My plans are to weld this steel hoop to some big angled steel and bolt it to the bumper.... lastly here is a picture of how she is standin at this point in time... im pretty happy with her and she only has more to be done :) https://p.twimg.com/AlqucflCAAAX885.jpg:large http://t.co/KzlSPPM3 |
and now tht i think about it, does anyone have any pics of their stingers tht they could share? im trying to get a good size comparison.. im aiming to be around this height/angle

Good god I think that's the biggest stinger I have ever seen how are you planning on seeing out of your windshield with that thing?

Attachment 383118 I could benefit from it alot so that instead of cutting off my welded tcase drop and tryin to nutsert in the crossmember, i could just cut it off and bolt this up:cool2: |
