I noticed Steele42 used some 1/4" cotter pins for tow shackles (see his excellent thread here), so I thought I would try it out. I thought I could make it look a little bit less like a cotter pin and more like a tow shackle, so a little work with a dremel tool and a file, and it's starting to take shape. Here's a picture of the work in progress along with an unaltered cotter pin for comparison.  |

I finished the rear bumper and tow shackles. I just need some different hardware to mount the spare tire. It keeps getting loose.  Here are some shots from playing in my sister's backyard.   |

Nice. I love the red paint on that shackle! What size hardware is that?

Thanks! Yeah, a lock-nut would do the trick. Plus I want to get a black bolt instead of the bright zinc, but this is what I had lying around. | |

It's been a long time since I posted any updates, but I've been doing some upgrades recently so here are some pics. Got some new proline shocks. They're great - softer and smoother than the old stock axials.  Painted my old white OEM beadlocks with some black flexidip and mounted some pit bulls. Awesome tire. These made a huge difference!    I got some of the poison spyder fender flares for the axial JK. They're a little small for the proline JK body, so I fabbed up some aluminum to bolt them to. I want to do the front too, but that's going to be a little bit trickier - there's not going to be much to attach to once I cut the old fenders off.    Did a little crawling when I went up to Tahoe. I'm really happy with how this thing is set up now.  |
