A little tube work (1 Viewer)

[Hank]

They look ghey. Best of both worlds... tie them in with a bushing mount just off the side of the bib. Did it on a black YJ from up nort back in the day. Learned also to pull the center factory mount out and drop tabs from the bib to the bushings that hold the fenders or the center mount will tear out. Give me a fax # if you need drawings. This keeps the body all one and frame "isolated" or bushed at least.

Damn Jeep people, who ever let them on this sight anyway?


:d

I get what yer sayin, Hank. Not sure I wanna do that tho.

I added a little stinger, and grill hoop. Planning to tie the fenders to the grill hoop.

Progress pix.......

What do you guys thing of adding the taped on tube (and it's twin to the otherside) to the mix? Think it'll be usefull to fender support??

Thanks for the feed back!

yes i would add that bar(s).

the bar will help with strength, but will the tire contact it at full compression while turning??

I don't believe there will be contact. The tires rub the shocks alittle, but the bars are pretty far forward and higher than the tire/shock rub point.

Looks good.

Since it is tied into the front bumper you may want to put some stronger bolts holding your bumper on. That is, if they are not already grade 8.
