Now u say you "had" this done. Did you pay somebody else to do this? Whoever did it must have been cross eyed because not one of those lights is lined up with another. Don't those lights drive you nuts at night? And would it kill you to grab a shop vac? That's pretty nasty dude

Made these cut n fold fuel filler tube armor. Made from 16ga sheet metal. WAY tougher than the stock rusted out piece that came off it.




And made a pair of cowl light mounts

Finished installing the bracket. This console ain't going no where unless of course the plastic on it breaks. Just a slight gap on the back, but it doesn't bother me.
This is air intake cowl I made. I will have to take pic and add it later of my cai system I made. I designed this cowl off of an egyptian military jeep I saw at Chrysler proving grounds. I love the sucking sound of the intake now. I will be bondoing it pretty then painting the jeep, at least after rust repair.

I think they're out of the way enough on the cowl no to interfere with my vision when driving. And yea that fuel filler armor was a no brainer once I did my cut n folds, that stock piece is just that................a piece
If you have some dimensions on this I would greatly appreciate it. The plastic ears on mine broke off too!

Just finished fabbing these up. step sliders with marker lights still wanting to add some sort of an led to light up when i open the door. theyre pretty tough though i tested the strength with my jack both wheels were off the ground and this thing stayed solid as a rock. comments? almost considering making some more and selling them.
