Waytec Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I just realized I had not started a tread over here. My bad. My MJ is now gone but I did keep a box from a parts truck. I am copy and past what I have so far. What I got so far for the frame. once I have the axel I will locate the rear cross support and the middle one so they will be in the right place for the shocks. I had to make plats to cover factory holes in the MJ box supports. I drilled and put tread inserts in to bold the box to the frame I want to be able to separate the two for future modifications and repairs The inserts and tool to install them. they simple to use. Drill the hole to the size according to the chart, drop the insert in, you may have to tap with tap hammer. using a wrench you hold one part of the tool and using a socket with the allen key in the kit screw it down till it is tight. the directions give to a torque spec. the insert crushes pinching itself to the material you drilled into.

Waytec Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have got a lot of work done over the last couple weeks. I got the rest of the frame welded up. The axel came in and installed. I used a piece of conduit to run the weir from front to the rear. I put a bumper on to make it all look right. Once I got the rubber on in I rolled it out to see what stands it has against the XJ. it is sitting a lot taller than I thought. I POR15ed the frame. this stuff looks like powder coating once dried. I handle so I can pick it up and move it around. I set it a little further back then you would think but now the handle clears the spare I did find a tall jack. I am still going to build a foot for it so I don't have to crank so far up and down. I used a receiver hitch so I can use a ball or a max access hitch. Once the POR 15 was dry I got the box on and see how it looks altogether. I still have to get the spare mount done, the spot where the jerry cans are going to mount and wire the lights. I am almost there then the inspection and plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
