Alright... Its been a while, but i think after this im gonna be done for a while. (Yeah thats what i say now untill i think of some other thing the Jeep "needs"...) Anyways, we finally finished my exo cage. Took a while but we got through it... At the time it was a big pain in the ass but now that its all done it was worth it. Hopefully now i can go flop and be safe and not ruin my Jeep. There be a trail run soon so look out for that just got to get some time off work on the weekends. Now on to the pics...

Yeah it has, if it wasent for people like you and Brian, i probably would have never got into wheeling.
If your talking about the front bumper... we are gonna modify that a little but trust me when this stuff is done youll have to hack my XJ to pieces before you can take any of the parts off.
Plus i dont need to be rescued (knock on wood)

Woo hoo first post! I will say one thing: Swapping those axles out was a journey and a half! Sometimes I wished Allen was a bolt-on queen though...Leave a comment:

Well its been a while since i've updated my build progress... We've been REALLY busy at BS Fab trying to get everyone's projects done because our main builder Jimmy (JimmyRig) is sadly moving to Oregon. RIP Jimmy RIP lol.
First off, let me just say that I HATE grinding, its probably the worst most tedious part of fabricating and swaping axles sucks! haha Also, just like to give a quick thanks to Jimmy (JimmyRig), Johnson (MaczPayne), Rudy (Villa), and the rest of the BS Fab crew. Without you guys id be a bolt on queen. I really appreciate it and owe you all big time.
Now on to the good stuff!
Whats that thats under my rear end now???!!
Thats right! Its an 8.8! Got it at the wreaker for $125 disc to disc. It came out of a 96 explorer, 31 spline, 4.10s, and the factory limited slip.
Since i swaped the rear i figured id swap out the front...
Its nothing special, HP D30 with 4.10s from a TJ. Pretty much just swapped it cause it was cheaper then having a gear job done on mine.
Since i swapped out my rear axle, I figured why not do the shocks throught he floor? So i hacked up the rear and built a shock bar in the trunk.
Made the ride a lot snottier (as XJKevin would put it) lol Just need to swap out my shocks eventually.
And finally... we finished up the rear bumper. Thanks to Kevin I stole his idea for the mounting setup. We cut the cap of the end of the frame rail and ran 2X4 .120 wall box tube down in there then bolted it in with grade 8 hardware and used the shackle bolt and ran it through into the box tube, its not going anywhere...
Theres still more to come so be on the look out!
Thanks again to everyone thats helped me out whether it was part, knowledge, or building wise. If anyone ever needs help let me know.Leave a comment:
