Good to hear it will be getting some abuse soon. And dd should have nothing to do with it, I dd mine and wheel the **** out of it. but then again I'm a mechanic for a living and have a full shop at my disposal whenever I want soo....haha

 

I'm on Xmas break right now, and I fully intend to disco the sway bars and take the jeep out.

Is anyone even relatively close to Tioga County? Looking for some trails

 

Your way to far north for me, I'm south central pa, between harrisburg and york. If you want to come down here I could show yaaround, or hit up raush

 

I really want to take a trip to Rausch this spring. Might have to get something planned

 

I will be going many times next year, just a little to cold for my taste right now. So if your interested in going just post up on here and get something planned!

 

Thanks, will do!

 

FOXMXRCER - Do you have any pics of how you finished the back after chopping off the roof, it looks much better than mine.

 

I've got some "in the process" pictures of it, some recent ones, ect ect. What shi you want to see in specific so I can try to find or take a picture of it?

 

Here's some....can't seem to find any with my tail gate Open.











And yes, all those pics are the same jeep (mine) haha

 

I was looking to see how you covered the sheet metal on the sides, I used angle iron and created a "U" shaped platform from the back posts around the tailgate, but it does not look the best. Still a work in progress to say the least. Although it does serve as a beer holder when we are stopped trying to pull out some of the Wranglers!

 

You talking about the bed rails or the sides?

 

I cut mine off just above the plastic moulding on the inside, and I put a piece of angle iron on the outside and over the plastic. Hard to see without a pic, I will take some later. But it doesn't look nearly as good as yours. Mine is off road only and I have a barn to store it so I will not be covering the back at all...wide open for some air.

The pic below shows it after I cut the back off. I did weld the tailgate to the back so it won't come off. I just wanted easier access to a tool box and cooler of course, but i didn't want any sharp edges.

 

I cut mine right above the pinch weld of the quarter windows, beat the pinch weld down with a hammer, and then took sher metal and welded it to the outside of the quarter panel, right below where the glass would have sat, and folded/rolled it over and welded it in the inside.then cut a piece and pop riveted it in for the passenger side inside bed, and built a tool box that goes into the quarter panel.

 

Thanks for the tip, I will try something similiar. Your Jeep looks like a beast by the way!

I just received my Christmas present to myself this year, I'm under the impression I was good, not so sure on the misses perception. 33x13.5x15 Super Swamper LTB's with 10" black D wheels, can't wait to get them on and see how she goes in the snow and mud!

 

Anyone wanna go to trails rd today
