[stewie]

i would love to but i have OSHA training that weekend.

[themud]

Im trying to get my junk back together by then really I just have a bit of welding left to do but the crappy thin galvanized unibody is being a b(*^^%tch to weld up....

[x*BIGASSALEX*j]

Im picking up my Tcase Saturday..if I get it in....that would be a good shake down.. Im in as tentative!

[Gasman]

I might be in if I don't decide to start tearing my junk apart.

[themud]

got a little bit more done...
If baron von root can't weld it up for me I may have to recruit a better welder to help me finish the last of the welds anyone volunteering...
I have everything ya need to weld it up but the skills...

[showboat]

I need to the same thing.... my rockers are phu-ked like Jenna

[CrashSomers]

easy upgrade.... Stewie did his over the weekend few hours each side once you have done it.

[themud]

Its all welded up now just have too plug 2 spots with extra steel and sealer and paint the whole mess and Ill be good to go...

A big thanks to baron von root his skills are mucho better than mine but Im slowly getting there...

I disagree with the couple hours thing but its not that difficult just pay attention to the details and figure out what your doing before you make the first cuts as that will determine what you need for materials...I did 2x4 3/16" box if I had to do it again I might have done 2x6 instead as there would be less custom modification required for the rear panels but I like it a bit narrower..

where ya at??? I don't know about doing the whole thing but I sure could help ya but my welding skills just aint up to par yet enough for someone elses rig with all the galvanized thin walled crap jeep puts on the rigs... Im going to try changing the wire size on my welder and see if that makes a difference... You should look at mine close up and see if there is anything you would want to do different as it give you a ton of clearence but it might expose other areas you might want to protect:laugh3:...

Im looking like I can make it but have do desire to get my submarine licensce on this run as I have sealed my rockers up 100% and don't want water to get in there and rust...

I live in Glendale.at 75th ave and union hills Deffinitely would like to check yours out. I need to do something soon!

[Gasman]

Chit, I'm out. I looked at the calendar closer the other day and realized it's my anniversary. The missus wouldn't be very happy, especially since FedEx is delivering some boxes Fri for the heep. Daniel inspired me to get some mods done before Rockfest so teardown has begun.

hehehe your welcome glad I could help...
It looks good for me 2 more spots to weld up almost got the rear brakes working then Ill be good I should get the front rotors turned first as well we'll see about that though...

After this Im pulling the rear axle and putting on a truss and moving a perch and installing my new main leaves...

[Gasman]

hehehe your welcome glad I could help...

Yeah, you helped me spend some $$ LOL. I've needed a cage for a while so finally took the plunge when I realized Rockfest is not that far off. Now hope I can get it done! Gutted the interior last weekend, sawsall is up next....

Don't effing tempt me on this one.... It not more time just more money than I want to spend right now...
Glad to hear about the cage its best for you and the girlie cheap insurance for saving lives(well not cheap but worth it)....
Prebuilt or custom fab????

[Gasman]

Mixture of both. I'm starting with the T & J cage as the base and adding about 50 ft of tubing to it. Removing top behind the c-pillar. Rear doors will go away too. Between the hatch and the rear doors, I'll be 150 lbs lighter. Plan on going with fuel cell in the "bed" and reworking the rear bumper to get rid of 6" overhang but not likely to happen before Rockfest.

You'll lose more than 150 lbs between the hatch and the rear doors than that... Just make sure and tie it in real good with the feet as your loosing the roof and hatch that really does add something for strength...

If you get time take pics of the rear overhang removal as Im propbaly going to be reworking the rear end of mine as well especially the bumper and tire carrier..

[KRAKER]

Dammit. I hate this game of ketchup. As well as having a half built Pile O Jeep in someone else's garage.

[CrashSomers]

So who is going to show? I am going to be there at 9am ready to wheel. I know a few of you are on the fence let me know when you do so I dont leave with out you.

[CrashSomers]

Lets call it off with all the rain and how wet it was up there it would not be safe to go plus we are going to get more rain tomorrow so I am outs.

We will get up there soon.

[KRAKER]

Charlie and I waved at eachother this morning. Looked like he was headed toward TM. I went and wheeled Broken Arrow up in Sedona it was cool cause it started raining pretty good just before I got to the Stairs. Made for "some" pucker factor for the day.

[Lifted93XJ]

[Brandoson]

U did it in the new Stock XJ?

[KRAKER]

Yup... Bone stock cept for shocks shackles and spacers. I really liked it up there. Kinda reminded me of Moab. Just on a PG scale.
