As for the TB and drag link that's as good as it gets.. I gave everything a once over that I took apart from the locker install and it all seems well.

This isn't a pee your pants wobble, I've had that in the past. its pretty mild and somewhat
occasional.
I didn't throw in those bbs from HD off road I have because I read mixed reviews. but tire balance I guess isn't out of question



I think I may have found the problem looks like my upper control bushing has shifted over a bunch. Probably time to do those anyways as they look to be starting to crack.

Nice Brotha, looks good cant wait to see the finish!

 

[knucklehead 61]

they turned out super duper badass.
got them all welded up & bolted on, just need to clean them up & squirt paint on them.
only a little blood was shed & fortunately for me it wasn't mine.

Yessir! Tim you're the man as always and I'm grateful to know you!

Took a ton of pics sorry if some are kind of big

Started off with peeling my interior panels back the day before

Shot of the beautiful curves before the carnage

The first holes the tough one.. point of no return

Got the bottoms all mounted on and the top piece I had bent at an ironworkers shop in Santa Cruz

The lower portion of the quarter guards are FLAT so we put our brains to work and came up with some redneck ingenuity to make a small roll to line it up with the body curves!! Worked like a charm!

Also had to do some trimming to the top portion so it lined up with the body

We had already bent the DOM the previous time I was out there
Lined it up and tack'd it on!

Tim taking his POWEEERRRR STANCE!:rof:

Slider all on we removed it so Tim could finish the welds

Welding the two together

And finally the finished product!

Needs to get cleaned up, sanded, primed, and painted Stone White but these things are SEXY

These are by far the coolest thing on my jeep!
Tim did such great work and his attention to detail and work ethic is amazing. Once again he comes through!

And all you need to bring him is FISH! Ya fish! He'll do just about anything for salmon!

 

[moparmansfield]

Damn that looks good.

 

[Goose_XJ88]

That looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product in white. Should be a cool contrast.

 

[GordoSmasho]

Those look sick pat. I'm jelly. Really need this with some flares as well. What did you have to trim on the main panel?

 

[Forceful Llama]

[87matchief]
