BIG thanks to carwash and RED9 Fab
 

Mike has my 4 door JK that he is building front/rear bumpers and rock sliders for as well as diffs and gears. Got to stop down this morning and check out the progress and the stuff looks KILLER!!! Can't wait to see it all done and hit the trails. I didn't have my camera so I don't have any high res shots but will get some next week when my wheels/tires get mounted. Anyway here are a couple of the front, which is going to be modded some more and the sliders. I think the rear will be close to being done here soon. Thanks Mike and crew for the badass work:thumbup::thumbup:

You got it Kenny... can't wait to see it all when it's done.

Just to toot Mike's horn a little more, he also made me some kick ass stickers for my business. I'll have to post up some pics tomorrow.

Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!

Lookin good. Gonna make it to Harlan with us next weekend?

Not looking good Ian. If I go I would have to be a passenger. The final fab work has to be done and then sent off to the laser cutter to be measured and then back to me to powder. Gears and diffs go in next week and still waiting on winch, programmer and diff covers. I would love to make it but I would rather make sure everything gets done right than rush it.

Oh damn... wait til you see it with the wheels on...

Well where are the wheel pics???????????????smileypoke

Well here are some wheels pics. I can't wait to get the jeep back!!! Hopefully gears/lockers and the bumpers finalized this week and then it won't be long

That's a good looking rear bumper... Nice work Mike...
:beers:

yes rear bumper turned out awesome!!! :D

Looks VERY good.

Congrats to the owner and to the fabricator.

Looks real good.nice work mike.war color are you painting them?

Well it is mostly done. Ended up going with Poison spyder bumpers as Mike was not 100% satisfied with the way they were coming out and after prototyping were not going to be very cost competitive with all the Chinese built stuff. He is however going to produce the rock sliders which turned out really nice. Front end dropped a little after the winch and bumper were installed but I may do more lift down the road so I'll just live with it now. Also need to find a matching spare tire and am still waiting for my fairlead mount but other than that it is pretty much done, at least for now. Here is a list of mods so far.

Superior 5.13's
Detroits front and rear
Ruff Stuff diff covers
315/70/17 BFG A/T's
Pro Comp wheels
Poison Spyder bumpers
Smittybuilt XRC10 comp winch
JKS front discos
Rough Country 3" lift
Red9 rock sliders
Diablosport Trinity programmer
Spiderweb shade

Looking good Kenny...

Looks nice.. what was stock gear ratio, and how u like it with513' s?

Honestly I'm not sure what the stock gears were. I think they were 4.10s but Mike could say for sure. 5.13's are great, seem to have a little more pep than stock and still easily cruise at 70-80 on the hwy.

The gears were 3.73's.

tell me I'm seeing things... is the spare tire carrier plastic??? or just looks it?

Looks good though, what happened to the other bumpers?

They are plastic. A JK was in a group with me and he slid back into a rock and cracked his with a small hit.

Its trail rated plasttic though, it'll be fine. ;)

It is actually metal but some kind of cheap pot metal of some sort. I wouldn't take much to break it.:(
