Decisions...started cutting up the rear fenders. Always wanted to do some form of comp cur, mostly to ditch all the messed up sheet metal out back and get rid of my cRustys tail light boxes. Unfortunately I found cracks every where back there, along with some rust from years of water seeping under the seam sealer. The rust isn't bad, but the cracks are, and along both bottom corners of where the hatch area is welded to the floor. Also a couple in the upper d pillars. So now what to do? Always intended this to stay full body but the idea of chop top and caged rrear is enticing, or maybe just cut off everything below the windows and tube that out and weld the top sheet metal to that. Hmm...
Where did you get the links from? What size did you go with?

I looked at aluminum links and when I double tri link my front I may for bling use them, but aside from bling they don't offer much for a heavy rig because they only save you few pounds total because you're comparing hollow tube mild steel links to solid stock aluminum if you were building a tube buggy from ground zero then they would be one of many lightweight parts in the build giving you a substantial overall weight savings ,but on our xj they are simply for bling...lol... you can bend some mild steel dom links a hand full of times before equaling the cost of a set of aluminium links . You would be better off putting your money into drive shafts and axles and than aluminum bling .
My four links were ~$470 shipped. There's an extra $20 in there since I had them put wrench flats on both ends.
I can't even buy a STICK of 7075 in that realm. Buddy on mine who's wrapping up his XJ buggy is a machinist up this way. The company he works for buys...a lot...of aluminum.
Even he couldn't get it for that cheap.
Not sure how, but WOD link cost, is cheaper finished that I or my buddy could source the material. My buddy could very very easily machine it, but why bother.
Jeepmanthing is the exhuast custom? My last bit of exhuast has a bigger curve in it and its hitting the shock/ shock mount. With out a welder i need to find a cool shop here.. As in cheap af cool lmao
