well i think that i would rather it went as a whole i dont realy want it messin the place up indefenatly i realy am wonderin if its worth trying to sort the whole interior would need to come out as there is so much carpet underlay exposed underneath i think it would be foolish to atempt welding the drivers side needs renewing front to rear and the pass side is almost the same

ML - fit the GHAY winch (will have to be custom mount) and chin guard also rock sliders - can have Mojo do the wrap at the same time.

also would that be legal on your newish truck

isle of man · « **Reply #431 on:** March 27, 2010, 07:46:12 PM »

Nope only a demountable one.
Have had a good look at this and it's doable for sure - would be very strong as the chassis is just behind the bumper some cutting would be required.

Manx registered now so not a problem

Bubba · « **Reply #433 on:** March 27, 2010, 07:49:27 PM »

ok now what about sliders under sill or part of sill

isle of man · « **Reply #434 on:** March 27, 2010, 07:54:08 PM »

Part of the sill as need the lift it's a weak point off road - cut the foooooker!! And weld the slider directly to the chassis

round boxed plated?

Bubba · « **Reply #436 on:** March 27, 2010, 08:36:34 PM »

you would be leaving it or sending it ? as not realy sure how long or how hard task might be

isle of man · « **Reply #437 on:** March 27, 2010, 08:57:24 PM »

I can leave it.

The sliders must be jackable with the high lift - perhaps put those round locators in.

happy easter folks kids have got choky eggs and i am going to try and do a bit more to my hardtop conversion i have cut and shut two yj hardops to make full scrambler top it was a tricky job but it has turned out ok its not the most buetiful thing i ever seen but it will do the job and seems waterproof i need to get the sander out out and do a bit more smoothing on the inside plus a bit of tidy up i hope soon will start the rub down job for a respray also need thick carpet for it to act as sound deadning and make it seem plush

the xj seems to be going as soon as interested party gets back from holls so pleased about that team lard has got an interesting devlopment ahead for spongebob

will post a pick later of the hard top if i can

Bubba · « **Reply #446 on:** April 04, 2010, 05:48:41 PM »
