    So I have the pipes mocked in:



    And I am measuring for my rock sliders:

    I will taper both ends, and hang some removable steps off of these (for those times I can get off road lol)
    I plan on making some "L" brackets and bolting these to the frame. They should be strong enough to use as jack points.
    If I feel it still leaves the bottom of the body too exposed I may weld some steal up the sides a little ... any thoughts on that anyone?

      my only concern with that is it will be a great place for dirt and mud to catch ... and hard to get out!

        After I got my butt kicked all day by those silly rock sliders (only got the pass side roughed in .. still need to finish welding it and drill holes for the running boards/steps) I worked a little on the center console ... I am still debating on what gauge goes where ... the square things are switches ... I figure I will put a whole row in and use them as I need them..

            I got them on Ebay ... just search for 7/16 wheel spacers ... if you need me to I can look up the seller ... he has an ebay store.

              It is hot out today ... I had to do a lot of running around this morning ... tried to find 7/16 x 14 flange bolts to replace the ones holding my anti-sway bar ... it seems these no longer exist
              Anyway.. I am playing with sway bar stuff and my center console:

              I dont think I will have a pumper lol ... its just for layout.

                        Sounds good. Looking forward to having another member from the forum local. I've seen a few other FSJs around, but none of them are on here.
