JMO413 Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Got the inner piece nice and level. Test fitting the outer. Gave the inner cavity a nice coat of weld through primer. Have the inner piece a coat of weld through primer also. Now just gotta wait for it to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Finally got the inner welded in. You can never have to many clamps. The actual rocker is finally tacked in. Now I just have to weld the rest. Finally some progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 Finally decided on a rear bumper. Couldn't be happier. Fits nice and looks even better!! Bought it from Ares fab. It was at my door less than a week after I ordered it. Nice welds and beefy! http://aresfabrication.com/shop/cut-fold-rear-bumper/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO413 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wow I guess I forgot to update this. Decided on Dirtbound steel flares. They took a while but that's expected. They are definitely nice and HEAVY duty. As you can see you really open up the wheel well. Before After Fronts go on nice! I think it looks good! The rears definitely take some work and persuasion to fit/install. Just have the passenger rear left to do. True 4 link long arm. Yes I know it's Rusty's but I'm still very happy with my lift on the MJ. The center cross member is removable and it's a real 4 link. And this kit is pretty extensive. Leafs, shackles, 4 link complete, sway bar links, brake lines, u-bolts, track bar, track bar mount, and their cheap sucks that will be replaced with Bilstein in a year. 😆 New too me rear axle. Staying 8 1/4 cause it's easy. 4.10 yay $300 for 4.10's with 68K miles is a win in my book. Now I just need to work on it instead of buying more parts. Front diff is the last big piece to find.

JMO413 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Finally finished the rocker on the driver's side and trim the rest of the dog leg. Definitely opened the wheel well up. The cap was a perfect fit. It did take awhile to patch on the sheet metal. Still have a couple spots that need a little more attention. Drilled a hole before I welded it on. Going to cavity paint them and then fluid film. 8.25 diff plug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
