These things have been covered on this forum for years. Search the "stickies".

 

Welded on tons of gravity defieing weight to mine.
Im cool with the topic it's a forumn after all.

I think if a person isnt into jeeps or building offroad vehichles there are other places to be. Or I guess i could just be somewhere else where rigs are actually built and tuned for a purpose.

Ive done a 3link front. Srb rear, 6" shackles, rear shock towers, both axles trussed, bumpers, sliders, fenders, prp suspension seat grafted to rocker seat base, steering, steering brace, frame stifners,

Only bought stuff is sfr inner steering box brace and steering crossmember with bearing support

Eventually rear suspension will be taken care off and possibly axle upgrades 44 9" or something with rcv's.
will likely gutt rear shock towers and start over with 14" coilovers or ORI struts.

Ohhh exhaust is fabbed from header to rear bumper with 2.5" pipe all hangers re worked i use sway bar bushings for exhaust hangers.





Very minimal on bolt in stuff



continual change.


I enjoy building as much as I enjoy being out on the trails
Also enjoy seeing other builds no matter how mild or wild.

 

I installed a throttle body spacer.

 

Thanks, I needed to choke on my morning coffee LMAO

 

I make sh*t. Machinist for 40+ yrs.

Disco build

Simple, cheap ($65) xj quiet exhaust

1 ton steering, custom grill

Aw4 to an6 fittings

 

That's the weirdest looking air intake silencer I have ever seen

 

It's the worst silencer I've ever owned.

 

On my Jeep, it is a question of what I didn't build. But here is some unique hood vents I made from scratch

 

Half doors. Still need to finish out and paint, but I get more compliments on these than no doors. Not many people take the time for half doors. Way more fun to drive too!

 

I love them, on my list of things I am planning to do. I was thinking of a lower cut though. You see any issues with that?

 

You do you, bruh

I went with my best guess as to what I wanted. You're going to gut the doors anyway, so it's really up to you. Now, I went with skinning my doors and fully welding them out, as I wanted a clean look, but other folks have just capped them, riveted them, whatever...

I just like that I have full doors that drop in, half doors that drop in, or I can go doorless. I also have plans to do tube doors at some point, just haven't gotten there yet. It's nice to have options.

 

I was thinking of having a removable boat top filler made to slip over the window frame and snap into place. 2 door skins are hard to find

 

You don't need to buy door skins, just sheet metal. I used some scrap I got from work, and just cut pieces to fit the cut out areas, and welded them together. Tack all the pieces in place, then do intermittent tack welds and repeat until you have one solid weld, grind, shape, sand, paint.
