Nice choice - I highly recommend this extra protection for anyone who wheels hard in rocks.

 

Went with the KC light clamp as a CB mount idea.



Trimming and fitting the A-pillar corner plastic, was a time consuming process but worth the effort (I think anyway)





And another weekends work is done..

 

Thanks. I really like the way it fits the diff and the added protection of the UJ.

 

Still to come:

C-Gussets
Axle tube welding and
PSC hood louvers next weekend if weather still good.

 

C Gusset install and axle tube to diff housings welding.





Front axle tubes.



Rear axle tubes.



Used 44-30 wire for the tube welding. $80 for 2lbs, but no chance of cracking during shrinkage. Welded each tube in 4 sections allowing plenty of time to cool down in between.

Had to grind the inside of the AEV diff skid to get the perfect fit back.

 

I love this build, great looking jeep. Particularly fond of that cage you put in.... May have to look into that.

 

Thanks, it was between this one or the ORF cage.

 

Method 105 Beadlocks ordered but no tracking number yet.. Black on black.

 

So weather held out on Saturday, so installed the PSC hood louvers.

Ready for the install.





Template aligned and taped down, now to start drilling and cutting into fresh paint.



Cut outs made, and louvers held square with window stops. (No pictures of cutting as holding phone and angle grinder not an option) ..

 

Bolted down with some adjustments to stop the hood dimpling too much at the bolts



Fitted back on the Jeep.



Hood liner trimmed and put back. (Still in two minds on whether I will leave it in)



Time.
