Picked up a whole bunch of parts to get ready for my moab trip this summer;
River Raider Crusher Corners, full skids, hood vents, breather tube extensions.
Coast rear DS, currie rear lower/upper CA's, ORO litedot rear LED's for my new corners. as well as johnny joints to start building my rear bumper/tire carrier.

just like christmas morning!

cool skulls:


Yesterday I painted everything in silver to match other silver accents around the jeep. plan on doing all CA's, shocks etc in silver...should look cool i hope!

cheers!

Awesome story and writeup man. That kept me very entertained. How much dough do you think you've put into your rig thus far?

Alright, Update on the rear bumper/tire carrier. Got a bunch of work done on it this weekend with the help of a couple buddies. One who is an awsome fabricator and has a tube bender etc. Started out with the river raider crusher corner install, then the tire swing.

ONE BIG HOLE:

drilling holes:

Corners required a lot of trimming in order to work with my bushwacker flat fenders, plasma cutters really come in handy! Corners done:

First mounting tabs done up:

All side done:

tubing bent up:

stinger mock up:

after 2 full days of work:




More to come next weekend, hope to finish next friday....we'll see how it goes. Custom fabbing is not a quick process!
