Since your(SUA SPONTE) pm box is full....

Here's some progress pics for you.

Tom and I did some trading, and my part of the deal was to fab up some stuff on his late model XJ. . He came up last Saturday to drop the Jeep off, and helped out by cutting sheetmetal most of the morning.

Scrap.

He wanted rockers with tube stand off's, so I fabbed up some out of 3"x4"x 180 wall rec. tube and 1 1/4" tube on the outside.

Rosette welds in the rocker.

"Anti-Alex" frame tie-ins using 2x2 tube.

Removing the side trim was easy, the adhesive was not. :bang: A heat gun worked the best.

Here's some more...

Door armor going on.

All painted up.

A rear bumper and tire carrier is coming...

As usual VERY SWEET WORK Jeremy! Looks great. Did you happen to take pics of the rocker replacemnent prior to install? The Rocker Roller thread has disappeared and it would be great to get a new thread showing your design.

Thanks. I might have some pics of mine from a few years ago. But that would be "tech", and off topic

Your fab is always nothing short of perfection, Jeremy. Great looking stuff.
So what, Mr. SUA SPONTE got sick of having no interior and moved up to a late model?

[Muddy Beast]

[SUA SPONTE]

Merry Christmas every one! Sitting here in the barracks was getting pretty depressing but how can a guy be down when his rig looks that good. Jeremy you are the shit. Yeah Bruno This jeep has it ALL! A headliner, passenger seat.......carpet!

 

[bryans87mj]

My bolt up sliders were 300 to my door, and the ones Jeremy did were the full replacements fully welded to the frame and below the door...so definately more than what I paid for some JCRs.

Well I bet it was less...just time consuming. Considering he made the stuff himself, saves ya money.

Less for Jeremy to fab it, yes. But I was thinking more in the situation of going to a local shop, telling them what you want, and having them do it. If you have the hook ups it would be cheaper...but if your just walking in the door and giving them the go ahead, I would imagine it would be more than your basic bolt ups.

[SUA SPONTE]

Yeah if I can sell my 31's then i'll be going 33's. Just cant get over how well its turned out so far. my jeep has never been my own background before!

You are right on there. If you figure the additional time to cut out the rockers, cut the metal to size, weld it together, weld it into place, paint the finished project PLUS pay the guy doing the work his hourly wage & benefits, shop insurance, rent, electric bill, etc. You ae going to rapidly exceed the cost of bolt ons. Never underestimate the value of a friend who is willing to help or some one who is willing to do you a favor.
