Upgrading to the next level RDE2ROK

Great rig and very well built 2 door!! I dig it!

Quick side question, through some pics I saw you had a top rack setup, how is it mounted in the back? I am planning to modify my lower mounts, I believe I have the same rack as yours (mine is a 4 door though). Thanks!

If you mean a roof rack? It was a Kargo Master. I cut the rear mounts that go to the bumper and made new ones that welded on my side body skins. The rack bolted on there so the whole Roof Rack was mounted on the body, not body & frame.
 
Thanks and appreciate it. I have the KM setup as well from my TJ whcih I will be adapting to the JK. I was thinking adding the mounts to the rear of te corners if feasible I will probably shave them off on the rocks otherwise if on the side.
 
I have RDE2ROK old setup. I've never hit the mounts but am also about to shave them off because I don't run a rack

Thanks! Do you happen to have any pics showing the mounting locations and how you did it? Thanks again! Gui

So I cut the rack (tube) found a thick washer bigger than the tube, weld a nut (for the bolt your going to use) to the washer, insert the nut side inside the tube and weld the washer to the tube. Do the same for both sides evenly and set the rack where you want it and weld a tab off your side armor where it will fit. Be sure to leave enough room for a top and on the sides. The rack sits on the tab and the bolt goes thru the tab threading into the rack tube. Hopefully these pics will help you, it's all I can find.

Excellent pictures, thank you so much, they definitely help! I was just dealing with the PSC corners until late last night (freaking nutserts ugh!) so this is the time to modify the corner. Thanks again! Gui
 
New hood in the works. We decided to add a little bit more style to it before the install. I will post a pic of the finished product next week.:thumb:

Here are the results, I think it turned out great. I have a little bit of adjusting to do as well as some detail work but I'm happy with it.:thumb:
