Did you have to get stiffer rear shocks for the extra weight?

Spent half the day making the shifter rods fit, note the patch in my tub to have clearance for the twin stick kit. I wish I just ponies up $ for a cable shifter kit and moved the transfer case shifters closer to the firewall, probably a 1" transfer case drop as well. I'll definitely attempt to...

Definitely heavier than the C channel it might have came with stock. When I ran calculations though its only about 12 lbs heavier using 1/4" vs. 3/16" for the main bumper. Doesn't include the tire carrier though.

Here is my design for a rear bumper. 1/4" plate for the main bumper, swing tire carrier is 2x2 x 3/16 square tubing. I'll have reinforcement gussets on the inside and include a sleeve for the swivel so it can be welded to the top and bottom of the bumper. Somewhat a knockoff of the TDK bumper...

Yeah hopefully I can try to start it up in a few weekends. I wish I went with the MORE Bombproof unit instead!

Progress for me has come to a hault, I originally set out to have this thing drivable end of April for my own wedding reception, well the wife wants a Cabo Wedding so this thing is getting crated up and off to Mexico! Jokes aside ive had to save room in my brain for other things besides the...

To fit my JB fab kit I had the same issue with the shifter stick binding on the tub, I didn't want to do a body lift or transfer drop either. I ended up cutting the tub and welding a relief area into it, I'd shorten the sticks though if I were you. Also it's very difficult to get the transfer...

I had the same issue, but as it turns out my body guy found the door fitment better as he shimmed those two and the rear most mounts

I'm happy I went with an old cj color, it was surprisingly overwhelming to try and pick a custom color. Painter spray lined the bottom of the tub and I wanted paint on the inside , if I has found a good tintable spray liner I might have done that. Regarding the engine. I bought a felproseal...

I went with ice blue metallic, and honestly I'm very happy with how the aftermarket tub turned out because of him. Cowl and hood gap was fixed, body sides were horrendous so he used some bondo. I'll try to write up more details on the tub and door fitment I was planning to make the roll bar...

How did the new gaskets workout for you? Did you stick with a specific brand?

I could use some advice on the amc360. I was able to determine there is an Edelbrock "RPM AirGap" intake and a 600cfm 4bbl carb with electric choke (Edelbrock #1406)). Being that it's out of the jeep its best time to do some preventative work and I could use some input on the below items. Again...

This is the cleanest way I've seen it done. This guy said he basically made larger soft top bows and mounted them on the sides of the tub, with the front being attached to the windshield hinge holes

Lots of trial fitting parts, drilling holes, welding nuts etc the past couple months. I was nervous about the soft top fitting but it does! Finally got this thing towed to the paint and body guy this past weekend. Unfortunately I couldn't see in my rear mirror the catastrophic failure of a...

Any pics of your md juan tub? I'm in the exact same situation as you and this seems more cost effective then having a body guy fix the issues. I'll know in a couple weeks, I hope that timing works out. Also, have you checked with poison spyder? They had aluminum armor at one point (part number...

That is what I was afraid of, Looks like I'll be making my own. Dang it!

Hey Pitman, do you have any photos of the corner brackets showing the profile? And the tailgate retainer bar "L piece" that goes in the 3' long length of tailgate fabric/pocket? It would be helpful if you could share the dimensions of the L piece so I can make my own. I'm trying to piece...

The new dash fitment was a joke, especially considering it was made by the same company as the tub. Also a thinner material.... I had to: - Plug weld and redrill most every tub hole mounting the mdjuan dash to the mdjuan tub - Open up the speedometer hole slightly to allow alignment of my...

There is a Vol 1 and Vol 2 FSM/TSM on Amazon. I found these books especially useful so far. They lack a lot of detail on specific locations for parts though so you will need to use the forum and google for photos

That's the oem crossmember with a Novak ax15 transmission mount and advanced adapters clocking rings/adapter ring. I cut a profile out of 2x3 x 3/16" steel rectangular tubing and welded it onto the crossmember. As you can see I had to cut part of the twinstick bracket on the D300 as well. To...
