Actually working on them this week, fabbing up some in advance......wont be long.

Price wise, looking at $47.50 shipped within the lower 48, flat rate, stainless steel hardware included, item will ship in primer/sealer or bare steel if you prefer.

i have been watching this thread and have been wondering something. could you bend up a plate to cover the entire a-pillar? like a-pillar guards? i have never seen any a-pillar guards, only c-pillar.

let me know if you would make a custom set. im sure others would be interested as well. and i dont want to buy a metal brake.

maybe full a-pillar guards with or without the light mount?

the big question is:

Detour_When these do go on sale, will there be a sticker included in the purchase? Because we all know, cherokee's have more horsepower with stickers.

Very soon.....The shop is/has been extremely busy & I'm actually behind on a couple products, so I'm sqeeeezing these in as best as possible.
The goal is to put out a quality little item, not a hurried pcs of trash, so please bear with the process.....

Thankyou for offering the pre-order thing......I'm not comfortable with that, we'll get there. Good news is Choo31 (Matt) reports no issues with the prototypes after a few months of use, in snow/ice/rain conditions, which is great.

Many parts have been formed already, I just need to get an additional jig fabricated, then we should be good to go! CF readers will get 1st dibbs!

Talk real soon!

Okay, if you have intrest in what you see, drop me a pm if you're ready and we'll go from there.......options will be CC or paypal. do not offer any CC info in the pm.

I'll bang a few out this weekend, they look exactly like Choo's although I'll post an additional pic or two so you can verify yourself. Choo (Matt) was kind enough to document his install, so I'll create a post with instructions as well sometime next week.

Pm me with intrest until a webpage gets built.

Alrighty then, last post in Fabrication Section, a new post will be made in the Vendors Section soon.



A-Pillar light brackets, as seen below, consistantly fabricated product.
The bracket is designed to 'thru-bolt' the A Pillar, a 3rd hole has been added to conceal wiring thru A Pillar. All brackets shown are bare steel, some sandblasted, others, raw.....



The bracket is TIG welded for a clean, splatter free appearance.



Brackets are fully sandblasted prior to shpping in primer/sealer with all required hardware to install, suggested instructions will be posted.



CF users are getting first dibbs, again.......pm me with intrest until a webpage can be arranged.
