tomborsari

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.


I also had my mom (graphic artist() make me a sticker at work


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

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

tomborsari

PICS!? oh yeah here they are...
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.




after gettin the sliders on, i finally installed my reverse lights.. finally


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..



and just for comparison.. here is with the low beams only turned on...



and here is with just the roof lights on....




i guess theres a slight difference

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..



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



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...

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

tomborsari

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
....

9greenmachine8

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?

tomborsari

well like i said, i am cutting it down a decent amount, so it shouldnt be too bad..... if i were a drunk it'd be perfect cuz id just hafta aim the stinger down the middle of my side of the road and id be golden!

REP--

Here's mine.


Put a bulls eye on it like I did.. Keeps you going straight down the road and make people hurry up in the crosswalk.. lol

tomborsari

i love the bullseye.. i work at dicks sporting goods, so im sure i could get one of those haha. by any chance would u know the length of ur stinger from the bumper top the tip, and the angle its pointed forward at?

ALSO- does anyone know where i can get a crossmember like this?

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

THIS might be what you are looking for. Nice 2dr!

tomborsari

thanks man! haha i actually did some looking and it looks like ill just kleep stock piling parts and once i have a longarm kit and sye/driveshaft, ill be able to just mount that to replace the stock one
