Longview Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Interested in pictures of quarter armour if you can find them?Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
sinkrun Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Stainless steel mud flap brackets much better than coating.
krustyballer16 Posted August 26, 2018 Author Posted August 26, 2018 I'll have to look into pricing difference...Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
INjake89mj Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 Let us know when you get done with it and we'll try to get together. No hurry! I may just have to buy one off you...
strictlyxjs Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 what parts do you need for the hidden winch. i have one and could ship ypu the brackets if you wanted to use them for a template.
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 what parts do you need for the hidden winch. i have one and could ship ypu the brackets if you wanted to use them for a template. I got it all. I actually kinda looked at it all today. I'm going to add another piece to the kit to make it better. This setup is actually kinda sketchy....Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Didnt know until today that all the crossmembers already have the winch bolt pattern in them...interesting!Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
strictlyxjs Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) ok mine looks different than that... I'm missing the pieces that fill the gaps around the bumper Edited August 28, 2018 by strictlyxjs
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 ok mine looks different than that... I'm missing the pieces that fill the gaps around the bumper Got any better pix? Is that the winch that is supposed to go with the kit? All the plastic parts will be made of steel in my kit. My winch is just bolted to the crossmember. No winch kit lol just for funSent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
strictlyxjs Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 i ended up just making some gap filler out of little pieces of sheet metal i took this setup off when i got my logans bumper but the winch and everything is sitting in my basement for safe keeping.
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Hmmm...I may need the fairlead to look at lol. And that really screws up the new style front bumper end caps. Damn that's ugly lol. How much did you pay for all of it? Got any idea of the original cost?Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 man, I would love a hidden winch setup... Just remember, this is the factory hidden winch setup....it mounts to the crossmember and pushes the stock front bumper out 3". This isnt the cool hidden winch like boostworks setup where you cut out the crossmember and tuck the winch in there and it's actually hidden....Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
krustyballer16 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Put me down on the list for metal tank skids. I know your quality and whenever you get to it you get to it, no worries. I know you have a lot on your plate now and I'm patient. I got you!Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk Oh, I know- I am trying to build my jeep like it would have been done new. So the clunky factory winch setup would be perfect. Plus I have an REP8000 in my barn attic
schardein Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I wonder if there would be interest in this bracket, which is part of the factory front tow hook setup:
krustyballer16 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Posted September 1, 2018 Anybody got any of the xj and/or mj floor braces that are always needed after floorboard replacement that theyd wanna send me to copy?And decent factory rockers thst hsve been drilled and cut off the truck.

krustyballer16 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 This was today's fun...Will,saveeveryjeep, let me borrow some frame stiffeners he had bought and hadn't put on yet.That's also the mj frame he gave me...This company's stiffeners fit like $#!&.So I'll throw this frame on the table in my shop and go to town and make, hopefully, perfect fitting stiffeners. Will and I talked about incorporating other things into them too. And we got to looking, not a lot of bolt on brackets account for stiffeners if you have them. So you have to modify them to fit. The plan is to try to make kits for things with and without stiffeners...( pictures show LWB stiffeners on the SWB frame) just curious how stuff fit. Will thinks he has the swb pieces also. This will be a fun project! Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 yeah, I'm incredibly curious as to how alike different MJs frames actually are, truck to truck. How much variation exists from the original fab processes. did any changes occur year to year.
gogmorgo Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I really like how you went from "I could build these bumper accessories everyone's always asking about" to "Imma build ALL the things!" Its awesome.
Minuit Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 So how much longer will it be til you start making complete MJs from scratch Brandon?
krustyballer16 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 So how much longer will it be til you start making complete MJs from scratch Brandon? Next on the list! I need a good rust free one to copy! All the ones here in indiana are are up! 🤣Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

How much variation exists from the original fab processes. did any changes occur year to year. I saw some slight differences. Black Betty ('86) is missing some holes in the frame that my others, up to 01, have. I'm sure every frame is different. That's why the stiffeners out there don't fit well.
