Under the knife again

[mrblaine]

looks great guys, wish I had some good friends like you to help me build my Jeep.

Even with good friends, it still takes a pile of cash, unless you have some really good friends that also donate parts.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Gerald.
It is getting close to ready to fire up and take wheeling.
Thanks for all of your help Blaine Chris and Gerald. It is much appreciated.

You are very welcome. I have to say that although I'm not a real fan of the YJ platform, this one pleases me greatly. I'm very happy with the cage, very happy with the fenders and the armor ain't all bad either.

Not much left on there is YJ, but I do indeed like the way it works, and now the looks are catching up to the functionality of the suspension. The level of safety provided by the cage, and other aspects of this build are fantastic.

Eric, your buddies Blaine, Chris and Gerald rock.
That is starting to look like one bitching Jeep
I am sure it will do a very good job of taming most of the hammers

Lookin' good, guys! Great job!

Wheel openings trimmed, sliders placed and tub rub rails all installed. These will never see actual production so this is one of a kind. I'm a TJ guy but Erik's YJ is just cool!



Here is a great picture of Chris! Hehehehehehee!

Here is a great picture of Chris! Hehehehehehee!

Kat said he had a funny look on his face after he sampled her Bar-B-Que, I just didn't know you managed to get a pic of it. No more Q for you Chris!

That is his every day face
You guys were busy down there! Lookin' good.
What happened to the orange hinges?

[provelogear]

What he thought were the hinges were not your hinges. I looked all over the shop and they are nowhere to be found.

[NAILER341]

AAaah.
We'll have to fix that later.
I'll see you down there in the morning.

bumper 12.2 lbs
fairlead mount-3.0 lbs
tub rails 16.0 lbs
corners 32.0 lbs
sliders 50.0 lbs

Having all your body armor weigh less than just the bumpers you removed, priceless

[seapahn]

I see you are going for that single tail light look .. very classy.

[NAILER341]

It is winking at you, Seapahn

[Drewminator]

Erik, that looks sweet! Did you extend the frame? Or is the body a little shorter? Looks good my friend!

Erik's Jeep is really coming along nicely! Chris and Blaine have most of the cage done.

[provelogear]

Drew,

On Erik's Jeep the wheelbase has been extended. That's why it looks funny before we cut the aluminum corners.
