Correct. Giving a shot at some diy mini boatsides
Picked up my sliders today! Excited to get them trimmed up for the fenders and then add a rail.
It’s stripped down. Time to measure a few times and then start cutting.
Nothing too crazy. Cutting the frame Infront of the Midarm mounts, Sliding the frame back to the cross member in the "TJ" Location. I've found myself dragging and getting hung up on the LJ overhang more and more.
The underside of your rig is insanely clean
The goal was to have the Jeep clean enough I don’t get my hands greasy when working under it. To say the least, there is no grease or grime under the rig now
I will stay on the 37’s and 4” springs. Sand hollow and Moab are my go to wheeling spots. I have observed that terrain favors a slightly longer wheelbase.

As all yeller Jeeps should be…
Chop!
Found a little surprise inside the frame. The bees must be attracted to the color
The rearmost cross member was carefully removed in order to be reused in the “2nd” cross member location. The frame is ready to go back under the Jeep for fitment and to get dimensions for the extensions.
FYI Barnett covers are in stock and readily available. Trying get as much clearance at the gas tank as possible.
Frame extensions are ready to go in, Surprisingly a considerable amount of time went into these.
Look into some weld thru primer for those inside plates. That looks like etch prime?
I search around all my local weld shops today for weld through primer. No luck. Could only find cold galv and etch. I should have ordered some in advance.
Spayed the plates and inside of tube with self etch and removed the primer on spots where the plug welds were. Agreed, weld through primer would have been ideal.
Made some progress on the rear stretch. With the extensions made I put the frame back under the Jeep with the extensions in place. Took some measurements and everything lined up how I wanted. Then I got the body mounts under the rear seat built and welded in place. The rear cross was then cut off, raised and tacked into place. Pulled the frame back out from under the Jeep and I’m working on the finishing details. Hoping to have the frame ready to be welded back to the front half later this week.
Great work. I am jealous of your undercarriage cleaning determination and willingness to chop the frame completely in two.
