Frame, bumpers and boat sides are out for powder coating so here are some shots of the drivetrain. Painted the transfer case black. Much happier with the way it looks. Everything is getting Stainless bolts put in it. Gonna make this crawler water proof. The front upper link mount was restricting the passenger side flex so i came up with what you see. |

Those bumpstops are sweet, they look functional, how do they perform?

I originally tried to make smaller shocks for the rear but didn't think about how limited the flex would be so i bought new shocks. One night i was out tinkering and looking at the pics of what i kind of wanted it to look like and got the idea. Last edited by 650joshua; 05-15-2013 at 08:43 AM. | |

I thought you would leave the body armor metal color like the 1:1 reference or is just masked off in the pictures? are you going to replace the plastic cage with a metal one?

| Re: Joshs TJ build hope this helps. I mounted it in the three spots shown. works great. The mounts under the windshield location are angled on purpose to keep the fenders from coming out of alignment.
