JHS

I will take a ton of before/during/after pictures. Really got my wheels turning on the rear bumper design now. One thing I'm not 100% on is wheather drop down, or swing out is a better spare tire setup. Thoughts?

Should have 2 sets available by the end of this month. We've been getting record snow here in Boston this year, so the plow and repairs have hampered me getting the MJ in here. With all this interest I will pull it in next week and button up the design. My plans are to have the ROCKer go all the way to the end of the cab, then cap with a plate to the "outrigger" that runs to the uni-frame. The slider (pipe) will continue under the bed and then turn back into the frame before the tire. This will provide the protection and stregth to keep things off the rocks and still allow the bed to be removed. Thanks for the interest guys! -Joe

Definatly planning on a rugged rear step bumper. I built a nice one for my XJ and am planning out how Ill do the MJ one. I plan on using it for my run around truck, so it still needs to have the step aspect. A swing away tire carrier would be a great idea. Having a short bed space will be precious! We are burried under about 5' of snow currently, the MJ is under 3' at the moment. Next week ill be dragging it in again to start tearing more into the 97+ interrior swap while I'm waiting for the machine shop to finish the crankshaft. Ill share a sketch as soon as I have one! Thanks

Hi guys, Thanks for sharing 87spartruck. I am really looking forward to building my new MJ. I'm taking allot of pictures and plan on doing a writeup, as well as become more active in the forums. Currently I'm rebuilding the 1999 4.0 ill be swapping in. I'm pretty new to wheeling, but Ive definatly got the bug. Last October I three linked my XJ and got a little carried away with tubing lol. I appreciate any feedback on bumpers. Price was something I thought about for a while. I feel like with all the standard features they come with (full frame plates, hardware and crossmember tie ins) As well as primed/painted its competitive. Again, I'm new to this and this is my first year in buisness, your feedback is whats going to help me get off the ground! I'm looking forward to designing the ROCKers for the MJ. They are a great addition and fix for a common problem. Thanks, Joe

Hey, new member here (just bought an 88' SWB) I build a Rocker kit for the XJ and and working on one for the MJ, as mine needs them too. They install easily and are pretty damn strong. Also I'm in Chelmsford MA, so a trip up (or down) wouldnt be impossable http://www.spadanoenterprises.com/rocker-panel-sliders.html -Joe
