That's what I'm seeing right now. That other picture has weight on it and no bolts holding it.

The pinch welds are practically the tuffest part of the body. When I rack xj's and mj's I use the pinch welds, u should be good. I did attach mine on the outside tho.

Broke the self tapping bolt in the frame and bracket. Im gonna ditch the bolts and just weld them on. It's gonna be way easier to weld it than drill holes for 2+ hours

In last month...Since this could not all be done in one day.

Fabricated a 2" cowl induction hood, installed a rubicon express 7.5" lift kit, re geared my axles with brand new 4.10s master over haul kits as well, Put new 33x12.50 KM2's on the jeep. Installed new long travel soft valve Rancho shocks with shock stem eliminators, and bar pin eliminators. As well as installed a new RCX drop bracket until I can decide on which long arms I want.

Next up hopefully this year I'll be able to throw a lunchbox locker in the rear so that's locked atleast. Surprisingly my uptravel and downtravel are huge with the drop brackets since my control arms angles are almost horizontal again had to add limiting straps to stop the coils from coming out.

Also redid the brake lines 24" SS lines in front and 22" SS in the rear. And just finished rewiring my electrical set up since it kept blowing my fuse, guess it didn't like running 4 lights at once on one fuse haha

Along with the cowl hood, I also had Hood pins and removed the hood release.

Took off the front and rear bumper end caps, trimmed off the bottoms of the front end caps, and removed all factory decals.

After i get my new brake lines in, im gonna need straps too, i have stock lines that i straightened out and the coil spring is about 1.5" from falling out when the lines get tight. And im on short arms with the drop brackets also.

Ya the lines I got are designed for a lot of flex. what lift you have? about a 4-5" ? I did the same thing til I got these new lines. just don't snap your brake line offroad haha

My limiting straps stop my flex right before my coil spring falls out. I got the drop brackets for $100 new so they will work til long arms.
