Got the slider bars on the sides and the rear stinger done today as well as made all the pivots for it.
Tire carrier holds the tire off the ground when dropped down I'll put limiting strap on it as well as it'll either hinge to rear or side sliders....haven't decided yet but will finish ot between now and Thursday.

That's a very interesting rear stinger design. How does it lock in place? It seems you've eliminated the common problem of a rear stinger on a jk which is that the body flexes separately of the frame which can warp the carrier. Nicely done! Oh, and I still love your taillight setup.

Just painted my Poison Spyder Bombshell diff covers. I love the way they turned but man was all that paired tedious with a brush!!
I ordered them powder coated and painted the blue myself with factory paint. I'm wondering if I should clear coat them at all for better location since the blue paint is lacquer based and is very thin? Any thoughts?

Already did semi hard body mounts in rear with the bumper and using soft durometer urethane bushings in 1/4 wall 2" inside diameter tubing to allow for movement and stay solid...
Mounts on bumper and body are 1/4" steel then gussetted as well...the body mount plates will have minimum 3/16" plate behind the body as well as 1/4" on face of body.
The jk has a fair bit of movement that's why I reduced the rears movement and I'm going to replace all body mounts with stiffer setup.

Just made this hitch receiver rock slider. I still need to weld and paint it. Its to protect my tire carrier from bending or breaking while landing on a rock with the spare tire. I might make a few more and try to sell them
