My jeep is well under way, and well under the knife. I will do a quick recap here for those of you who dont visit the off-road section..
I finished (mostly) the one ton swap..
Then I designed a front winch bumper, and had it made by a guy who does AMAZING work... Those of you who like it, will have to opportunity to buy one soon...
Now, the same guy is working on my cage. I have not seen it yet, but I should have some good progress pics by Saturday.
THEN, today I got my new twin-stick set-up from JB Custom Fabworks in Salem OR. These guys are amazing!! I originaly bought the twin-stick set-up to go in my 79 Chief, and I was not real pleased with how short the sticks were. I talked to them, and they were quick to offer to mod them for me. Then, I ended up swapping to the 75 Chief which has a 3" body lift. JB Fab was happy to let me change the measurements that I originally gave them (for the 79); to fit my new application. They only charged me $30 (wich includes the work and shipping back to me) to add 5"s before the sticks come through the floor, and another 6"s after the last bend before the knob..
Here are a couple pics of how the first design fit. You can see how it barely cleared the floor (without any BL), and how they were still a bit hard to reach.
Here is how they looked before install..
Here is how the new set looks before intall..
I will get pics of them installed once I find time to swap my T18/D20 into the new Chief..
Shipping on the box was over $7.. How much do you guys think 22"s of stainless steel solid stock costs? My guess is they took a loss on the mods just to make sure that I was happy with the product.. You dont get sevice like that everyday!
