Default My Fabrimacation thread for my ZJ (fuel bezel, bumpers, sliders, grille, roof rack..)

ok so i havent dont everything in the title yet. but hopefully tonight ill be *getting* drawings for the front bumper. within a few paychecks ill be building some sliders. im not sure what im doing for a back bumper nor have i figured out for the roof rack, im thinking a very low rise roof rack with just a hoop for lights in the front.....

But what ive done today was something i stole from someone the other day on here, i took some steel grating/mesh???? it was 10 bucks at lowes and cut it out to go in the slots of the grille.... here is a pic stock..



heres a pic before i painted it.... the paint and adhesive is still drying so i will post a pic later of when i get it installed.




i have 3.5 and 31s ready to go on but i have to get through MD inspection and get it tagged before i can throw the lift and tires on. it looks soooo shatty right now stock lol....... also i swapped out my stock taillights out with the smoked taillights from my other jeep
also today i got in my TJ Fuel Bezel so i took the stock door off and put the bezel on....





heres a better pic of the bezel...



TO the mods or anyone else. i realize its not extremely FABRICATION but please just give it time and there will be things being fabricated i just figured the few small things ive done so far would suffice, if not please move this to the ZJ section

I like that Bezel idea! The clip that holds my door shut broke, I might have to grab one of those bezels.

Cool to see a fellow Coastie on here too.

Jordan... What you mean? Lol when i looked at your pics i thought you cut each piece out? Hahaah. I painted it black and dont like it so im spraying it white...


Zodiac- it doesnt fit exactly i predrilled each hole and carved the center to open the hole a little and cut part of the gas cap off. I can snap a pic in the AM but love it
