Rear bumpers almost done, I'm so finished with bumpers for awhile.....

 

Very nice Jon

 

Got the hitch, gas tank skid and bumper finished and on tonight..... No more bumpers for awhile....LOL

 

I got started on my box tubing rockers today also, first I had to straighten out some trail damage..

 

Got em in, now to paint and be done with welding and grinding for awhile...

 

Finished up rockers and started on the Artec JK to XJ truss on the Rubi front axle...

 

I've been getting a few more things done. Except for changing the yokes my axles are ready to go under the xj... I also got my rear drawers built...

 

What did you use for sliders Jon? Anything special. I have a long range project in mind

 

I used skate board bearings and box tubing... The drawers are 53 inches deep so I had to make my own.... I have better pics if you need them...

 

Ah, I see you ran into the same problem I did. Hard to find sliders that long. Yes, I would appreciate some pics and pointers on that

 

Here's the video I got my measurements and design from

 

These are the bearings I used, I needed 48 of them. The biggest problem I had was finding bolts that threaded all the way and not just the bottom inch...

 

I used 3/4 box tubing but 1 inch would work better. I was haveing trouble with the bolts hitting the drawer before they ran in the middle of the box tubing. The extra 1/4 inch of a bigger box tubing would have helped a great deal...

 

Nice work Jon I'm jealous of those axles and your storage box! What axles are they?
