Dick are them the stock flares just trimmed out? I like the way they look and when I mess up my garden edging flares I think I might want to do that it looks clean.

this is all ive done lately. with pics. cutting, axles, wheels/tires, shackles in rear(stock up front), bumper & hilift...

The ground is not level where its parked in the pics, which is why it appears to not be level all the way around. in reality its pretty much dead on.

i doo love me a clean white 2 door. makes me want to wash mine lol.
let me know if you want some 1/4 guards for your jeep i got a guy who can make them for 2 doors.

Dude, nice progress!

I'm slightly jealous.

What wheel do you get behind these days if both XJs are gone?

Yeah man they are. It can be done better than mine are but it takes too much time haha. Mine are ok but overall shape I like. Just used a 4" grinder to shape them like I wanted. Much cheaper to do it this way for sure. And thanks.

Thanks everyone. Im pretty excited about the new rig. Get my 4low figured out and I'll be set. And with a locker haha. So close tho!

Got the lca's welded in place. So they won't slide around in the drop brackets. I know the welds look like crap but each side got 2 passes. And its really hard to weld in a sideways circle. But it will hold. Only thing left to do before the turkey run is lights and kevlar stencil. Woo hoo
..Got my mtr kevlar pattern rolled onto some cardboard. Next step, cut it out and spray it on the jeep. Its gonna look awesome.

I would spend my time fixing that weld the kevlar stencil isn't gonna keep your lower control arm under ur jeep..

 

[Gold Cobra]

Kevlar stencil?


You're such a mark.

Neither is the weld. The bolts do that.

I know it's not pretty but it will hold. thats the worst looking one of all 4. I don't care if it looks pretty as long as it does its job. Which is to prevent forward to back motion. As an assist to the super tight bolts.

I've done some horrid welding.. I'm a noob.. but i would of kicked over the welder if they came out like that.. I'm thinking your wire speed is too low and you were moving to fast!

I'd say your correct.

 

[dick.breakey]

Got my sliders installed and painted. I got them from lil bros fab who recently joined the board for $180. I'll post up my initial review when I get my computer working or use my gf's.

Tomorrow I'll try and figure out my sticking brake and my linkage issue. I doubt I'll figure out the linkage bit tho haha.

Your probably right I was kinda rushing. And on my side under the jeep. I'll try to get under it tomorrow grind it down and burn it in again.
