Sent my bumpers off to NW Powder coating inc. and I gotta say they did a great job with exceptional attention to detail. Especially with covering all the threaded parts and removing any plastic parts that would’ve melted in the oven When I dropped them off When I picked them up

A custom bracket mount for what I believe is the most accessible/ergonomical area to put the switch panel. Right behind the 4wd shifter and in front of the cup holders. Doesn’t get in the way of anything. If anyone is interested I might started producing these for resale. Only minor plastic...

Also beefin’ up my lower links as well. Boxing them up with 3/16 plate

Decided to box and weld on my lotus lower link skid. I understand their design but also understand that upon sharp or hard impact, the lower links can still crumple up and get damaged. Eimkeith makes a great weld on one but I preferred to box the entire link so if there is ever impact load, the...

Carpet to add a little bit of coziness My first time really doing this type of precise wood work, as with wood staining...

Continued.. Starting work on front ‘removable’ half Then I designed a swivel-a-way system to utilize all the little space we have in our 3rd gens. The seat backs (when locked up in seating position) lock at an angle. If I were to build stationary stands to hold the front half, I would lose...

Then started on my rear storage/sleeping platform. Similar design to another 3rd gen I’ve seen in the past, only I made adjustments to mine. 100 lb sliders
