    NEED: cage, flat fenders, grill hoop, on-board air

    how it looks at the moment:




    WHATS NEXT?

    Cage - Have it, just got to install with soem modifications.

    Rocker protection - i removed my old frame mounts, and got some PS ones that I am modding a step/slider onto.

    Tube Work
    - grill hoop tided into fender flairs.

    Stretch - got to move the coil buckets back and outboard my shocks in the rear.

    now i just need to get off my ass for this stuff to happen. Any comments would be cool to get me motivated, lol

            thanks for the motivation guys! haha. finished my sliders tonight.

            i took the old ones that were welded to my frame (an old f350 cross member) and welded them on poison spyder sliders.

            I had to plasma the olds sliders into a straight line (because the were curved) so they would mount up flush.

            think they came out okay.




            its been a while sense i've welded!



            they are welded on the under side as well, also the part that was welded on, is angled on the bottom so it can slide over stuff all niceee like

                            moved the rear coil buckets back 6". They now line up with the lowers nice. If anyone does this to there jeep for more wheelbase/better angle, when you cut them off put the drivers side bucket on the pass side and flip it around, it will fit perfect on the frame oh and i had to notch the rear cross member to get 6"



                            this is as she sits. waiting for new muffler and axle seals to come in (this week)
                            then i'll throw the antirock and sliders on
