[MedixJK]

It's looking great man! Will the winch be a drop in design or will it sit up on top?

Front drive shaft came today. Excited to put it on.

Your build is coming along great! Awesome job on the Fabwork too! Can't wait to see the bumper finished up!

I threw a vacuum relocation bracket together with some scrap 1/8 flat plate. Not my best work but it gets the job done. Just need to paint it.

 

[NecessaryEvil]

Finished my vacuum bracket. I finished the small spot welds and then washed and regressed the metal. I sprayed a self etching primer on the bracket, followed by a epoxy based spray paint.

I drilled two 1/4 holes to relocate the plug for the vacuum pump near the ABS mount.

Great build, I'll be keeping my eyes open for you. Local guy on the other side of 12 in Volo. No JKU to build yet, but been viewing a lot of stuff on the forum lately getting ideas. Once the G8 is paid off and a couple of other bills I think the wife is going to let me get one.

Sorry I did not see your post sooner. I actually live in Lakemoor. Building a jku for me has become an obsession lol!

Well I finished fabricating my bumper and stinger. It turned out pretty good. My friend sandblasted big items. Now it's being powder coated. Can't wait to get it all back tomorrow or Sunday.

 

[NecessaryEvil]

The guy doing the powder coat said my bumper and stinger are done and cooling off. I should have them soon and will install right away. After I get the winch and LED light bar installed, I will post some pictures up for you all to see. I will start building some rock slides later this month cause I will be making a trip out to Arizona next month and plan on doing some wheeling.:rock:

That looks really good. Nice work!

Thanks. I'm happy with the outcome. I ran into a problem with some of my welds on the stinger, but all in all it turned out good.

A small but satisfying mod. Cellphone GoPro mount!

I need to get one of those ... Can you use it to hold your phone while videoing or does the mount get in the way?

The video does not get blocked. I actually discovered this product after USMC Wrangler installed one.
