Basically this is going to be my build thread. I'll be tryin to keep this up dated as I go but I'm building at a pretty fast rate.
I'll include pics of my home brew front bumper
The build of my rear bumper and the build of my off road trailer which my dad and I already started today. That's all for now and pics will come soon.

Can't wait to see the progress of the XJ

Started on the rear bumper. I'll try and get some pices up tomorrow when I get some day light. I am trying to make the bumper serve as a compartment to store spare parts and tools. As of yet I have only the back bone up.

Ah ha! I got it lol.

Here is a pic of the rear bumper I started on today



And this should be the corner. Keep in mind this is going to be a frame for basically a tool box



I have a terrible pic of the trailer that dad and I started yesterday. It's all rough work so far but dad and I are contemplating starting our own off road externals fab shop so if u got something in mind let me know. We can build absolutely anything for pretty Dam cheap



Like I said terrible picture lol

Here is a pretty good one of te front bumper per winch mount



That's about all for now. More to come though

Yes sir! Out with the old in with the new. Brand new bearing hubs should calm this noisy 30 for a bit



Just waiting on a bigger hammer and my brother to bring my puller back he apparently "borrowed" at some point lol

If you're having a hard time getting the unit bearing off, check this out:

Holy crap lol that is genius I just beat the piss out of it with a 5lbser till it bent to my unrelenting will. It wasnt to terribly stuck in there though. Hell te passenger side just came out with a few taps but it didnt look or feel bad at all.

Been busy at the rig the last two weeks. Whew seems like work never ends. I did get a chance to work on the rear bumper some more, I'll have pics up soon of the progress. And decided to change direction with the off road trailer. Turns out I don't think a 4x8 frame is quite enough to fit what I want so I turn it into a jeep matching carry all for the time being. Going to do some drawings and more thinking on the off road trailer before I get the next batch of steel. Lol but updates soon to come!!!

Here is the little trailer I built. It's on my brothers little Sami so looks kinda big here but it is built to the same height as my xj same size tires too I'll get some better ones when it's all finished up

No problem









Didn't think the jeep would be able to budge our Samsung 120sl when it decided to throw a belt today in the middle of rig move. But sure enough

I can tell u this was the first time I could really "feel" that aussie locker putting work. The loader also has a low tire on the front left. And a really bad tire on the front right.

Nice trailer. Good to see the Sami can handle it.
