Ran out and bought a rear tranny seal but AAP didn't have a front input shaft for the transfer case so I'll have to goto the stealership to get that :( Helped Maxx build his brothers roof rack for his xterra this weekend so I didn't get a chance to work on the jeep.
 
so the jeep is still marked off to cut, and isn't cut hahahaha.

i still say you should leave more fender on,

Lol nope not yet. Maxx built a roof rack for his brother this weekend. I got to flex some muscles pulling for 1" tube :D

WTH Tyler. You said on MC to cut the 2nd fender because of the tube fenders tard.

Regardless the top lip is going bye bye since eventually I'll be going bigger and I don't feel like rechopping up wells and fenders for a bigger tire and/or axle :)
 
What? haha oh yeah! I said since you are doing tube fenders, the second line, otherwise the first would be better looking.

My bad...I retract my x2. It will look better cutting it that high if you do tube fenders, it just needs something sticking out ;)

You cut on the dotted line yet??
Soon young grasshopper. Maxx and friends were building his brother roof rack this past weekend.

Dont worry, I'm sure you'll be getting a video of me crying as well. Tears of joy or sadness, we'll have to find out in the moment :D

Got a chance this weekend to shave the jeep allowing for some much needed room for the Iroks to breathe :) I decided to use a 4.5 cut off disk and angle grinder to smoothe the edges out. Came out really well.

The dreaded first incision :D

Image


And more cutting.

Image


Trimming the ARB to match the line.

Image


Damn that's a lot of room!

Image


I'll most likely be trimming more on the side closest to where the rock rails are as soon as I get those put in.

Image


We also started to fab some tube fenders for another friend of ours. Only got one side done but they came out really nicely.
