Picking up where I left off

[Chris]

Get Baja bosses and let me know how they work.

Haven't even heard of them before.

The boss “ supposedly“ out performs the STT pro.

For a TJ, is the only way to achieve this, to purchase the LJ slider and cut it down?

No

Got the rear fender flares off this afternoon, now I'm just waiting on the GenRight Boulder 0" front fenders to complete the no fender flare look. I think this will fair better in the rocks, as I have been pretty close to smacking the flares themselves on rocks and I know they aren't going to bend nicely like plastic will.

Do those GR fenders give any extra clearance over stock fenders? Even 0.5" Those look good. Both my fenders are a little messed up, so I'm thinking of doing the GR's.

I think Blaine meant that the flare needs to be 0" in the front for playing in the rocks, so they are flush with the tub.

F me, just called where I ordered my welder and they said it looks like I won’t get it until February. Guess welding will be after my PSC, speakers, seats install or I’ll have to run my Hobart for now if I need to weld something.

Guess that’s what happens on sales, hopefully when you buy you’ll time it better.

Which welder did you buy?

 

[mrblaine]

Paint the inside of the wheel wells black.

No, get some of the spray can bedliner and use it instead of paint. It is shitty bedliner but awesome for wheel wells.

I can’t say for sure as the vehicle came with them. I don’t think they provide anymore clearance though.

Yep, that’s the stuff I have.

How do you modify the TJ slider to reach wheel well to wheel well?

That’s what I use for my sliders and bumpers as well because Ive found it touches up cleaner than spray paint on scrapes and gouges

Post the photo of the black rig @starkey480.

They have to come ww2ww, then trim at 45* at the long point in each wheel well. I think that's what he's saying.

This was a rig at Blaine’s house that he built. I believe this shows what Blaine was was talking about with building the slider all the way to the wheel wells but correct me if I’m wrong.

Y'all gotta stop posting pictures of these Jeeps. Makes me sad.

The front rub rail slider is also a cool detail.
