I love your tack bar and stabilizer mount I was wanting to make my own also. Made my own high lift mount. Almost free, already had the metal.
 
Nice work!

Made my own trail doors with homemade paracord limiting straps and plan on making my own front bumper...

Also made a bunch of paracord grab handles...which I can't seem to find any pictures of. Other than mounting tires on the wheels, all labor and maintenance is done by me at home and I love it!

Let's see what everyone has built. As much as it's nice to buy some of these great products offered for purchase, it's nice to see people can still build stuff for themselves. I am no pro fabricator and I don't have a lot of tools, but there is just something about building and modifying the jeep that feels good. Here is a couple pictures of a front track bar bracket I built and a bumper I am working on. I will be building rock slides next.View attachment 171440View attachment 171441View attachment 171442View attachment 171443View attachment 171444View attachment 171445View attachment 171446

I may hit you up when I start brainstorming on my front bumper plans. Looks great! And, thanks. The doors were my first big project I planned and built.

Cool thread idea. I built my tire carrier after we needed the roof rack space for camping gear. Not the best welds I've done, but they work.

Is your tire carrier tied into your hitch? I like it!

Nice! Does that bolt on with the factory hinge?

Thanks. It does. The only other way to do it on a WJ is buy or build a new bumper which I didn't want to deal with. Maybe in the future. I used a hitch extender to bring it out more then built off of that. The main tube is gusseted underneath. Doesn't move or rattle at all, so I'm good with it.

For sure. Feel free to message any time, I will help you out the best I can. Your doors turned out awesome and look high quality. I would rock them.

I love your half doors man you did an amazing job. That's an other project I want to do. Great job man!
 
Here's a few things ive done. I hate to buy things I can make and some things for these ol cj's you just cant buy.

Hi lift mount from this.


To this.


Little switch panel for lights and in cab winch controls



Rear storage deck




Tube fenders



Built the front bumper & modified a tj winch plate to hang the 8274


Rear spring hanger sliders


Knuckle reinforcement


Light mounts


Combined a cj tie rod with as scout tie rod to work with my application


And im working on cutting up a set of full doors and making half doors.


Ive also completed a full drivetrain swap from a 258/3 speed/dana 20 dana 30/amc 20 with 3.54's. To a fuel injected cammed up 304/TH400/dana 20 with scout 44's locked with 4.88's.

Holliewood, I like your bumper. Something about it makes the front of the jeep look mean!!

Thanks, its just an old piece of boxed tubing I had laying around. Did a thin pie cut on either side to angle the ends rearward just a touch. Then angle cut and capped the ends.
