Finally Rock Rails for the XJ

[TMXONR]

Well about 8 months ago I built the bumpers for my XJ and started on the Rock Rails. School got in the way after I finished the bumpers so the Rock Rails never got finished. Over the weekend I finally got to finish them. Here are the pics.

main tubes cut

main tubes tacked together, and frame mounts on

1"x1" angle cut down to 1"x.75" welded on

first test fit

how the mount to the frame (like the T&T customs rails)

final test fit

here they are in primer, I am going to finish painting them tomorrow

I am not sure of the brand, it is an oooold bender. My friend got it from a guy who used it along time ago, I think he said the guy used it to build some sprint cars.

You mean spraying chemicals in a garage instead? And then blowing them out with a fan to the open air outdoors?

Looking good. May want to add in come more bars between the main bar and the outer. Other than that looks tough.

Thanks

Actually we were gonna add either 2 pieces of tubing, or some flat plate in there. But we tried it with just one and it really stiffened it up, plus it kinda keeps the theme with the rear bumper.

Very nice, but needs some mud.

What did you use on the rocker panels? Some kind of Herc?
