    If you really want to get the flex out of the chassis, pick up some of the weld on frame stiffeners first and then weld your rock rails to them. The rock rails alone don't really cut down on flex as much as you think. If I get mine crossed up, I have a hard time getting the rear hatch open...

    Following along on this thread too. I think your idea is fine for the actual roof structure but doesn't really address the pillars, unless you are also including A,C and D bars. If you just have the the roof bars bolted to the roof, even with some internal bracing, in effect you just made a...

    Building shower system, have question about pump

    Guess I should follow up on what we bought. After looking at all the different options, thinking about power, being tethered to some power source, etc., we decided to go with a Zodi Extreme. Seemed to be likely to fit our needs and since we carry 18 gallons of water onboard the Kamparoo, that...

    1980 Jeep Cherokee Chief (you know you want it!)

    I can feel your pain. Just sold my beloved Miata to the first person that had interest in it. Like you, happy it will get used as it should. Congrats on the sale.

    Homemade Roofracks.

    x2 on the danger. Even wire brushing off won't remove it enough. I just got done doing some welding on a project using some galvanized square tube and using a 120 grit sanding disk on a 90* prep tool, removing to bare metal, it was still out-gasing because the galvanizing is on the inside too...

    According to JKS's site, there are different part numbers for the front and rear so my guess is they won't work for the rear.

    EdgeStar fridge slider.

    Nice job. I need to build one for mine. Question, what holds the fridge onto the mount?

    XJ lower steering shaft install.

    Glad you got it swapped out. It's always nice to have it steer where you point it. :D

    Time for axle input from you!

    I agree most C-clip elim. kits don't space out the axles but the Super 8.8 kit adds this spacer/retainer. You can go this way or add spacers for the wheels but if you are running stock offset wheels, you HAVE to move them out somehow or they will rub on the inner wheel wells. None stock...

    Cheap Cherokee mods...

    A couple somewhat cheap but great mods I have done. Door pockets sold by a member on NAXJA, nice to be able to put a bottle of water and some maps in the door. Montana Fab transmission controller. I REALLY love this mod. To be able to hold 1st or 2nd gear as I want to and not have it shift...

    Time for axle input from you!

    Actually if you get a 8.8 with disc brakes, the way the rotors and mounting cage is setup, the brakes will keep the axle from walking out, unlike a drum brake setup. Sure not the same as C-Clip eliminators but the axle will stay in non the less. I think the C-Clip eliminators is the way to go...

    Time for axle input from you!

    Though I have no issues with the 8.25 that I swapped in to replace my D35, I think if I was to do it all over again, I would do the 8.8 with the C-clip eliminator kit which widens the track to a stock XJ width so no spacers would be needed. This would give disc brakes at the same time and you...

    Building shower system, have question about pump

    Hi everyone, So I am looking to put together a shower system similar to the Big Kahuna posted elsewhere in the forum. euro.love bought one and posted pics of the pump which is a basic bilge pump that can be bought for $16 (exact model) via Amazon. I figured I could use a 5 gallon bucket with...
