Man talk about kicking butt on this truck. You weren't kidding when you told me you were going to get a lot done on it this week. Looking good. I take it you are going with a RED truck :brows:

 

I have been itching to get back and work on my truck, this is torture :rant:

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?

 

Sorry to go off topic, lol.

 

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.

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.

 

Sodablasting co worked for an hr they did floorboard axle springs seat brackets and cleaned up the mess a little for $160

 

Ya I realize its unibody I will just rebuild the rear actual frame and add strength to the unibody while I'm at it.

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
