Its his jeep and its not really my thing but it looks good.

One tip, Friends don't let friends pull with chains. Spend the loot for some pull rope or slings. Them chains break your gona hurt or kill someone.

 

Amen to the chain thing...straps or nothing...too shiny inside I agree but the battery box and the storage is fair fabrication. Keeps a guy off the couch and that's a good thing

 

nice work. I plan on doing something simmilar. but I think I'm gunna run my ladders down the sides, and eventually tie them into an EXO-cage.

 

Couple of mine.

WJ trackbar, breacket needs a little refining, probably make a new one when I move the track bar up.



control arms

 

Just a simple mounting bracket for the Hi-Lift and a set of four D-Rings screwed into the floor of the cargo area for straping everything down...

And a set of lights on the mirrors that light up the front wheels and turning arc...

 

I hate to burst your bubble, but those mounts for your hi-lift are terrible. There's no way they'll stop the jack from becoming a giant steel projectile aimed at your head in the event of a collision. Best re-think this one if you value your life and those of the people riding with you...


I like the mirror light idea though.

 

The base of the jack is totally secured to the deck of the cargo bed so it's not going to become a projectile...

 

With just that strap? or did you make a mount?

 

An angle iron mount and two tie down, ratcheting straps... sorry, not shown in those old photos...

 

cool, just wanted to make sure you had it secured well.

 

Taking from the FJ and applying them to the XJ...interesting mod!

 

more details on this mirror light thing!

 

Do they really shin on the tire they look like they dont

 

They were just some cheapo lights from the parts store that I thought I would try for this idea. Some high dolar lights would work better but these work good when you're off in the boonies at low speed... The night time photos realy don't do them justice! Here are some better details of how it's done... https://www.cherokeeforum.com/member...t-old-mirrors/

 

i really like that. Can't believe i've never seen that done before...

great idea man
