Not much last night... cut down the rear frame rails and attached the rear cross member back on and removed the rear door handles. haven't filled them yet... just tired of folks on FB asking if I'm going to keep them.... NO, I'm not, just hadn't gotten around to taking them off and filling them...
 
Pretty much finished the welds on the outside of the rear bob and then installed tail lights back in and this is the re-welded rear cross member (rear bumper) back on....

removed the rear door handles but haven't cut the metal going in them... but just so people know that they were going away...

how did it do?

Considering the diffs are still open and the shocks are still stock and the bumpstops haven't been lowered to prevent rubbing and the wheels are too far in without wheel spacers... IT DID AWESOME. 40's can conquer bigger rocks than I'm used to and roll over rocks that normally stop 35's...
Those pics are with 20 psi which is what I'm running on the street...
 
But this'll help it next time it sees rocks...

not nearly as bad as I thought... but then I've had 37's with stock gears... what's bad is the brakes! yikes!

that's cool!
it wouldn't work on an 80 though... it's already too wide and then the tires couldn't travel up at all...

I do plan on a 40 bezel and hellas in it maybe down the road... narrowing the front that much more, maybe then i could do fenders like this...

I thought I remembered seeing something similar on a Cherokee before, and I found this link. You should do something similar. XJ Bolt on Tube Fenders Think only as wide as sliders (could even tie the future exo into it) I know, it's a J**P, but it is a good idea, and would killer on your truck.
