Started the body armor
So I started fabing up my body armor on the jeep. only got the rear fenders done but here is what i did.
the self taping bolts are pretty much there for looks!! I welded them to the body and man are they stiff!! they hold up well. When I get more pics i will post them, but for now my comp is being retarted and wont let me upload some of the pics.

Its different and if it fits your needs then great! Here in the PNW that thing would get caught on every tree and root.

Won't that just shove the whole quarter in when/if you hit something and be REALLY hard to pull back out? Seems like it needs to be tied into a roll cage or a beefy rear bumper.

It is supported with tubing that runs through and down the inside of the fender. And what the hell are you going rock crawling and 75 mph and smashing into the rocks? sounds like someone needs a wheeling lesson......

Phew!
Glad to hear that it's welded on there! (I was scared when I saw the self-tappers)
Knowing that, it looks freakin' awesome!
