Let me know if you need any parts Gare. I deal a ton of jeep parts. From Bestop to curry and trail ready.

[PTSUPERD]

Thanks guys. I'll update this soon. ..just been so busy.

Umm Gare, did I miss something? When did you go with a different wheel tire combo?

 

[zilla68]

post up the damn final picture, your killing me here dude! I've been checking back 4 times a day trying to catch a glimpse of the final look.

I have a cherokee and am dying to get a jeep just like that, and you might just push me over the edge, so I need some help.

 

[rascal]

Awesome build!

Ok...so I had some downtime waiting on some other parts to be fabbed up so in the deadtime I ordered up all new factory plastic to update the faded out original stuff. Spent a night swapping flares etc out.

New flares:

Have you considered a Rubicon style, diamond plate rocker guard? or a heavy duty version from Warn? i dont know if this Jeep will get destroyed off road but if it will, they do tend to help in certain situations LOL

I considered it but really like the simplicity clean look of the factory stuff. Doubt they will get destroyed offroad.. LOL

Could have restored that faded plastic with a heat gun

On to ordering the last of the parts.

I wanted a heavy duty tire carrier/bumper combo to handle the oversized spare. I also wanted a matching front bumper and rock sliders with the built in steps.

Couldn't find exactly what I wanted among our vendors here so at the advice of a friend I called up A to Z Fabrication. He built all my stuff to order.

That stuff showed up quick. By now the boxes were piling up.

Man I tried back to black etc. They were just too far gone. Didnt know the heatgun trick?

 

[BlueOx]

Just take a heat gun and hold it about 3-4 in above the faded plastic and you'll see it turn black again, just have to keep it moving so you don't melt the plastic lol

Yea I tired that stuff too but never really had any good results. I found the heat gun trick one day cruising around on YouTube lol

My old man taught me that. OE 1985 Chevy door panels never looked so good

So a month or so goes by, all the parts are in and its finally time.

I took it to Jason @ Gardner Racing of course.

Jason had the axles and suspension out in like an hour. LOL

New axles just about ready to go on. Osha would not approve of this pic:

 

[STROKIN N STYLE]
