I decided to finally cut my lower 1/4s I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted em until I got into and experimented as I went but all and all I love the way they came out , I'm gonna incorporate a custom tube bumper into ,it was a little of a pain in the *** but they came out good , I'll get a few more pics up later

 

i love the cut and fold rears. i need to do mine while there is still metal left to cut and fold

 

well there was no folding lol , i cut em and folded them and stood back and looked at it and just wasnt happy , so i cut em higher and boxed em in with 2x6 steel

 

that works to. what did you do with the floor area. i might follow your lead and tie it all in back there because that would make a great down tube point with the HD engineering shackle box

 

the passenger side was easy ill post up a pic of the inisde , there was plenty of room to weld and reniforce it , the driver side not as much cause of the gas filler neck , i got it pretty strong on that side , but i might cut out the stuff for the filler neck do what i gotta do then reweld it back in , i went over everything with a heavy duty seam seal to insure no elements get in

 

I had to trim the box tubing so it lied up even with the 1/4

 

big thanks man I think I am going to follow this so I have both higher clearance 1/4s and a nice cage tie in point

 

yea thats my goal exactly , im gonna be doing an exo cage and wanted a tie in with more clearance , its super strong and would act like a great protector as it sits now too

 

Yea man, that looks mega awesome....I've had an idea like this brewing for transitioning flat style fenders into the lower rear quarters & bumper

Good work.....love your color scheme as well....xj's are so sexy

 

thanks alot , it was kinda on the spot when i did it like that , i cut and folded like most people and wasnt really liking it , then stared at it for 45 mins before i finally cut it up higher not sure on how i was gonna go about finishing it off but it went fairly smooth

 

the rear of the box will be getting trimmed to follow the curve of the tail light

 

that will be my next project I'm digging that can I get you to do me a favor and measure your rear shackles and how much lift are they going to try and build some thank you

 

I'll measure em out for ya , there the iron man adjustable ones I'm not sure what I got em set at right now

 

Right on thank you I'm just needing a rough start point so doesn't have to be precise

 

Ok I get em for you tomorrow
