yeah haha I knew it was gonna happen just wasnt sure when

even though I am stuck on the east coast I still love the jeepspeed look and those rear fenders will definitely be a winter project. I will probably make a foam mold and lay the glass over it.

any progress on these 4 door fiberglass flares? please say yes.

All you have to do is get the 2 door glass and cut them...

[Baja_XJ]

[crazyjim]

Dan Turner on here as well as quite a few jeepspeed guys have done it. It's not a biggy

Does it look nice tho? Seems like it would sag and flex when ever you went over a bump.

 

[Baja_XJ]

put in a brace at both ends of the cut and wahla

 

[julio_a]

Be sure to cut them at an angle and not straight or you wont be able to get the door open still

Many thanks to anyone who can post up pix of how the tubular frame stiffeners mount to the UCA...I need to know if they come with a longer bolt and whatnot as well

Well I finally got around to putting my suspension together. Performs great! I couldnt be happier for what it is. Im now running 10" fox's in front with relocated lower and 70/30 valving, and out back Im running the Cross Enterprises crossover with 8.5" Fox's mounted in the hole furthest out and these shims feel excellent on mine running them at that angle.

Just a little update, been awhile since theres been 1. Jeep is still alive, just put it away for winter. Ive put it to the side all summer for the most part other than using it for advertisement because Ive ventured into short course racing. I've been racing a 7S unlimited Toyota since late summer and its getting a serious winter rebuild before I bring the Jeep back into the picture

Heres the Jeep as its been most of the summer

 

[Cache96]

what tires are those?

 

[Baja_XJ]

Those would be a cheapie brand called Mastercraft, those are of their A/T line, Ive found they do pretty good, not for trails or rocks of course but for the dirt scene, they are a hard compound, they have around 75k of highway miles on them and only worn to half tread

Dude, we need to have another M&G just so I can see that thing! :cheers:
