Project FIN*

[SupermanIce-J]

So dropped my axles off at river raider to have them welded up.

For the front:
1.Plate truss from pumpkin to mid-PS upper control arm mount
2.PS Upper control arm mount boxed.
3.axle c's gussets (any interest in these???) we might have some bent up...Just a feeler for now

For the rear
1.IRO D44 truss


On order:
1.RK build-a-ball UCA bushings for the axle.
2.Currie anti-rock
3.Street heat drilled rotors for the d30.

Depending on how the ball joints are on this axle I will be ordering Spicer ball-joints when the time comes.

I am going to order some 760-x joints for factory d30 shafts and give them ago again... last time I tried installing them i ended up in emergency surgery.

I also need to install sye times a million. My plan was to take the t-case out of the beaner and put the AA SYE i have in my garage in it while on the bench... but every time I try to pull that something else goes in my Jeep.

HOO RAY!!!!

Soooo. um. Rear toob bumper will be built this weekendish... possibly into monday.

It all started with a gas tank heat shield. It rattled against the exhaust. I did not want to burn a hole in my fuel tank... so I got a Zj gas tank skid. To put the Zj skid on... I have to take the hitch off, which is my sole means of recovery in the rear of my jeep. So I decided to make a bumper with a hitch.

THAT ONE LITTLE 10 CENT PEICE OF TIN.

I'm not sure what the ZJ skid looks like but could you work it like mine so the hitch goes over the skid to the OEM mounts?

Yeah yeah yeah I know I'm sorry I didn't sell it to you but its so happy under my Jeep after I gave her some clearance loving

Cut, bend, weld, re-cut and do what you gotta do!

[SupermanIce-J]

The first cut is the deepest. My mint quarters are now high clearance FTW!


JCR corners mocked up with ultra blingin clear leds. They the corners will be color matched with the Fin* blue.


And the base for a DOOKIN' rear toob bumpah.


I think this sumbits will for sure hold. when all said and done there will be 22 grade 8 bolts holding it to the frame.

10 Through the framerails
8 factory mounting
4 on leaf spring mount for the side protection brace.

Here is the through the frame mount started.
