Drahcir495 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 i liked rocky-roads drop brackets because they come with the gussets/support braces that go back to the crossmember mount, but its not uncommon to wait a month fo rthem to be built and shipped :cheers: definitely another option.
shelbyluvv Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Rocky Road's DBs fit like crap. There was a member here that installed them and they took him forever. The fitment was total crap. I book marked mudflaps though for future use! :cheers: Loving the build so far. I decided to give Betty to my son as well. He will be driving in 3 years. Man how time flies!
cody4359 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 put them on my xj and fitment was ok, just a very small air gap from the angle of the gusset to brace. everywhere has quality control issue's, not that thats an excuse tho.
Drahcir495 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 Loving the build so far. Thank you. :cheers: I decided to give Betty to my son as well. Great dad :thumbsup: . I bet a few MJers on here would be willing to be adopted for a shot at a Magnum powered MJ :D
Drahcir495 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 I placed my order today for this amazing winch bumper -> Cody4359 found the bumper for me - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33882 . James with RLC Welding and Fabrication in Louisville, KY makes them (502)403-6832. In a few weeks I will have plenty of pictures. It should look great on this jeep. I am also working with ProtoFab to get another rear bumper for this one. TTC - Rich
buxmj Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Hey Rich, this project is looking great already. I think your son will be greatly appreciative, if he isn't already. My daughter will get my truck someday whether she wants it or not. I think she will look forward to getting it someday. She already likes rolling under it on the creeper. Maybe I can get her to change the oil soon, even though she's only 7.

Damien is my nephew and he is almost 7, so I hope he will want it in 10 years :yes: :popcorn: ?
buxmj Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks Rich, sorry didn't realize Damien is your nephew, that's really cool. I'm sure his parents are a lot more thankful to you for the truck than my brothers are for getting my nephews interested in drums. Might be going to the pnp in Daytona on Tuesday. Will keep an eye out for the light blue interior. Anything else? Also, we do need to try to get a mng for all of us Central Floridians. Any ideas or should we all invade the next Jeep pow wow?

Any ideas or should we all invade the next Jeep pow wow? :clapping: drums! If you make it out there - look for the Dark Blue inside bucket seat belts :thumbsup: . I have half heatedly tried for a Florida M&G for some time. But our numbers are Growing! It is a great idea though. Look here -> viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21258&start=105 as we are trying to get out to help one of our own. I am also hoping to get as many MJ's over to the shop to hang out and get pictures. I would like the fill the lot with MJ's! I refer to it as a War Party :yes: . You are welcome to come :wavey: - Rich
