tazer15 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 ill get some better pics of finished floor so you guys that are intrested in soda blasting can see.then ill be starting on the chassis saver.i also during all this fixed several other small things i didnt post like the taillight wiring was all cut and tore up i fixed that. and i made my own vacume lines to the CAD didnt turn out how i saw it but that axle will find its way to the salvage yard eventually so i really don't care much about that. AND PLEASE EVERYONE bare with me I'm the worlds worst typer guy i really don't talk like this. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Chief Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 On your TJ, did you trim your fender flares? Have you heard/seen where people cut their stock fenders to make like a tube fender? Â Sorry to go off topic, lol. Â I might try that soda blasting... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 AND PLEASE EVERYONE bare with me I'm the worlds worst typer guy i really don't talk like this. :wall: :cheers: I can attest to this.

Â I might try that soda blasting... lol Yes my fenders are trimmed with a jigsaw/sawzall very easy I have rokmen hylines just don't have them installed yet.ya tubing your stock fenders is pretty easy just trim the top of the fender out to whatever coverage you want and weld some tubing directly to them add some bracing.

tazer15 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Red was the easiest for now and prob his second color choice anyway.next yr ill replace cab corners and rockers prob paint it black then. Â Sodablasting co worked for an hr they did floorboard axle springs seat brackets and cleaned up the mess a little for $160 Â Ya I realize its unibody I will just rebuild the rear actual frame and add strength to the unibody while I'm at it.

Lil Taze Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 This is my jeep thats my dads acount and we are going to go leaf over axel then lift the front to match rear and go long arm in the front, putting a 360 in it is an option and switching front end from d35 to a d44 and 35 or 37 inch tires and building a bed for it after awhile and reenforcing the frame and adding lockers front and rear when we get front axel swaped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
