    I'm not disputing that welding works. Anything can fail, even a spool. I just know that the diff i welded would be the one to come apart! ha!

    Not that i don't trust my welding skills, just my luck. And on that note, I think i would weld my own diffs, but not the diffs on a customer's rig. If my **** fawks up, that's my own fault and should have known better. If my customers rig eat is, then it's my reputation.

      its a hole different thought process when its your business and reputation. even your best friend will talk crap when they want you to cut corners and its them that are holding up the group.

      im not sayin back yard is bad ive done it myself but when its your business i have to say that its not the best alternative.

        Been a bit since i updated this... the thing is damn near done now...

        Tube fenders made, utilizing stock inner fender to keep the muck out of the engine compartment...





        Front end finalized with grill hoop and mini-stinger. I think it turned out freakin solid, and should be insanely bomb proof.





        Seat mounts and final cage crap finished up. Back seat is gonna be a tight ass fit. Gonna have a sticker made for the bar in front of it... "No fat chicks. No big dudes."





        Cage out for paint, and back in for finishing up... Three stage candy paint, looks awesome against the gray.





        And how's this for a before and after?

                                It really is crazy how close those too jeeps were, Even funnier when that jeep leaves it will look almost exactly as mine did when it rolled in,, Same size lift, tires etc, It was alot of work we have alot of hours in it And CW did a crazy good job making everthing from design to finish!!It will be on trail next friday afternoon. WIlderness trail.

                                Dont look @ me in that tone of voice or I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE SHIRT! :mad:
