Default 1 ton grand cherokee

97 grand Cherokee limited 5.2

Plans
Ford king pin 60 5.38 gears welded
14 bolt 5.38 gears welded
Full frame reinforcement
Exo-cage
At least 38s on bead locks
231 with sye
4 link rear on coils
3 link front on coils
Tons of little stuff

Progress up to this point has been all the metal work looks like I haven't done much but cleaning the frame of all the stock brackets took forever but I think it was worth it in the end. Rear passenger side welded in all the rest of the pieces are cut out and ready to weld in. I did really like the templates. I have been watching to much extreme 4x4 hahaha.

Quote "MORE PICS of the plating. Please. Looks awesome."

Started this thread so I didn't clog up the rigs thread.

I would mark the bends in the frame on the templates and then grind ¾ of the way thru the plate and bend with the contour of the frame.
