Rock sliders? You should just cut the rockers out and weld some 2"x6" in there then Ho can tie your cage into them too.

Okay, more pics for Kimmer to wonder what they are... :D

Cleaned up my Durango box and painted it. The plan for steering is to use a WJ pump and Durango box. I'm told this is a good set up, $50 for the box and $90 for a new pump/reservoir I've got my steering handled.

Put my Brown Dog motor mounts in place, and will mount the engine side later after I change the rear main seal and oil pan gasket.

Re: Build thread: Out of Misery, again....

I was going to spend some time cleaning up the engine bay, but I decided not to. It's not too bad and it would take several hours to get the Jeep off the stands and out side to hit it with the power washer, then put it back. I'm skipping it, it's just going to get dirty again and this isn't going to be a show truck.

LOL. I did the same thing with Lexi's jeep, the thought crossed my mind for a few minutes.

Were'd you find the box? My heep is going to need a new one at some point.
 
Re: Build thread: Out of Misery, again....

Dan, could you take a picture of the other side of the box? There should be some big cast numbers in the side of it that tell you what model sag box it is...

Got a bit of work done yesterday. Collin (bigsilverxj) and his gf were over with their newtothem RH drive jeep, which had a few parts I wanted for my build, and my jeep had a few parts they needed for their new build.

Here's a pic of Collin pretending to work... ;)

My main objective was to get my greasy hands on the factory LSD, and I did... :D

Collin also was driving the MWC parts train yesterday, taking a bunch of parts to Iowa for Altrocker, including a front clip and my old steering box, which gave me the chance to install my newtome Durango box.

fit like a glove...

This was a good trip for Collin, he scored a set like new BFG AT's for the price of a 12" submarine sandwich. lol.


Thanks again, Collin and Katlin
