Spent saturday morning building custom mounts for my 11" LED Light Bar.
I started by building custom L brackets out of 0.125" thick 1.25" wide aluminum stock. 
But when I saw how far off they would be from the brackets; back into the shop I went to add a bend or two. 
It all went together with very little trouble: 
I wired them into the factory fog light system (which I had to remove when I changed bumpers), so it operates using the factory control. However I found they seem to be aimed a bit high. In the photo (and eyeballing it) the lights look level but I seem to do a better job of lighting up the trees canopy than I do the road (and it doesn't do a half bad job on the road). I figure I'll add a couple washers between the bracket and the bumper mount; that should allow me to aim the lights more downward without interference from the bumper mount. Figure $7 for the bar stock from Lowes, $3 for the wire cover from Advanced Auto, $34 LED Bar from Amazon, and some odds and ends (wire, connectors, shrink tubing) I had lying around. ETA: if you're wondering why the bolts are sticking up so much - that is where I mount my Hi-Lift jack (and the jack is the source of the rust you see on the stainless nuts and bolts). |

Been working on the YJ project a little bit lately. Put all new bearings and seals in the front and rear ends. I've got new Warn hubs ordered and will probably put them on later this week. I traded for a set of beadlock wheels with 38.5x13.5/16 Boggers on them a few weeks ago. We took a break from the axles and mounted the tires and wheels with a couple of lug nuts and set it down so we could see how it looked. Still lots of work to do but I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

The Jeep thread in GD prompted me to finally snap some pics of my 5 yesterday. The tub was eat up when I got it but the drive train was solid and someone had put a locker and Moser axles in the rear.
It is my street Jeep with a 304 and three speed. I gutted the front axle and plan on using it like a cruising hot rod for the most part. I have a CJ7 with lockers and 33's for playing in the woods but I had always wanted the semi-plainjane Jeep with the headers and side pipes for street use. The paint is "read my lips" Monstaliner outside and "jeep spice" inside.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

No signs of fading. The preparation is key and it is a two man job to apply. I did it inside and out by myself over a weekend after a week of preparation and body work. If I do it again, and I will with my CJ7, I will spray it on with a undercoating spray gun. |

 Attached FileFinished this one up in late 2007, and then has been in storage since 2010 due to life happening. Technically an '83 CJ7, but I like the YJ grille. Drive train is a 350/350/300, axles are locked 4.56 Dana 44 (that I narrowed from a full size Chevy) front with a hybrid 9" center 14 bolt outer rear, 4 wheel disk brakes. Front is leaf sprung, rear is 4 link with TJ coils. Fiberglass tub, and I built the frame from 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 rectangular tube. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, and you can let go of the wheel at 55 and it goes straight as an arrow. I want to get it out again this summer now that my son is getting big enough to be able to ride in it, and possibly start looking into putting a 700r4 in it for more mall crawler duty. |
