I've noticed that you had some rear quarter protection coming off your bumper in your pictures. I was just wondering if you could snap a couple pics of those and how they attach. I am going to fab up something similar when I get back to school in 2 weeks. I have a good idea of what I want to do and how I'm going to do it just would like to see an example. Thanks

I am getting ready to chop the quarters on mine, wondering the same as Clemson.. here are some links from which I am working...

http://www.ryanflowers.com/fj55/rockerpanels/ (note the nic clean cut, thinking of 2x4 3/16 wall tube welded to the quarters themselves....

and http://www.birfield.com/~morgan/tech/protection/index.html (again, this time 4x4 3/16 wall tube, this is what I am currently doing on my rockers and don't see why it would not work for the quarters as well...)

and BTW, PIGHEAD- can you also post of your rear quarter fat cuts? did you weld in anything in place? my though was to cap the open cut with plate steel and then add sliders independent of the quarters but I am trying to avoid welding to/drilling through the frame.....

The holes are already in the frame, use them.

I'm almost to the quarters so I will use this info, thanks!

Here is the side view. The protection is welded to the bumper and then you can see the piece that is welded to the frame. I have slid off rocks a few times on them and they have help up fine.

Those look good man I like them. I want to do something similar but I also want to get some tubing bent and wrap over the wheel well and attach to the sliders. Thanks for getting a couple pics up.

wow, nice clean metal to protect..... I am having a hard time putting hours into protecting my PO'ed bondo'ed rusted out quarters...... Really I think mine will be cut as high up as possible and capped, then tube bolted to the frame.
