Yeah I hung on to mine just for the heck off it. Then I ended up needing to use my full size spare when a culvert ate one of my tires, so I put the donut in as a backup to the spare since I DD it and my luck is just that awesome ... Decided from that point I'd never get rid of it.

I'm an idiot... I meant to say 4cyl, 5spd, 2wd... So now I'm a little more jealous. Yours is a 4.0 though isn't it?

What? What do you do that's so far away?

Cherokee blessing... May this be the only deer that ever gets that close to your jeep again!

Lol that's only half of it.

I might as well be taking my best guess at making a buggy with what I got myself into.

So is your rocker panel all the way gone? How are you making tie ins?

Yea that's just from inside the unibody rails. I have another pile underneath the middle of the jeep with what was left or the floor and rockers and mud that was caked inside them.

Those are right after the carpet was taken out. Which will most likely not be going back in.

my plan is to get the rockers burned in from plugging holes from the top, the floor will meet the inner facing side of the rocker and be burned together. In my mind basically recreating that section but way stronger. Rockers are 3/16ths and floor will be 1/8sheet. Thicker then oem. Plus im going to do frame stiffeners and run tube supports off the stiffeners to the rockers. All tied together I'm pretty sure it will still be at least 10x stronger then what it was before.
