Project: Bush Baby

[Bob B]

remote oil filter, rock light and stuff

decided to put a steel kevko pan on. Heard no one has had a bearing dry up with this pan.. heres hoping..

engine bay, winch, horns(if you can see them) trans and P/S coolers

flatbelly and pillow block for driveline

front suck down point

rear suck down point

the big light are for the baja sections and the blinkers have been modified with 55w driving lights to use as rocklights

Carry on, sir, the project is proceeding quite well. I like the purposeful look of it.

Looking great and almost done! Thanks for the update

So how do you adjust those big things, or are they just stuck pointing the way you have them set?

 

[Bob B]

they are adjustable. Theres a little tiny gap around them so you can move them up down and side to side

 

[Silly Willy]

How did you set that up? Im looking at doing something similar (get rid of the rectangle lights on the XJ)

 

[Bob B]

I set them up by cutting the grill out around the old stock bezels, then I opened up the hole just a little more to be a little larger than the diameter of the lights, the welded a tab on the back side of the grill and mounted the light on it. Not too bad, when you start with a round hole to begin with. And the grill is just the front "shell", there is no other structure to it. just the outer shell. Hope that helps

Amazing work Bob, one of the best builds I've seen in a long time. Great attention to detail and killer fab work and thought!! Hopefully I can check it out in person one of these days.

so lets see when will you get it done?

uhm... So I know it's been a long build, but really, the last thing I wanna do when I get done @ work (working on jeeps) is to go home and work on a jeep. Plus funds are low.. I think everyone can relate... I would give a finish by date, but I will probably just miss it, So whatever.

? will we have any trails to use it on?

Thats a good question.. I bet there will be. As long as EVERYONE is responsible, stays on MARKED trails and treads as lightly as possible. Not to mention supports things like trail clean ups and the u4wda. Just to name a couple things. Hint Hint...

bob you need a famly.

WHAT? I'm not really sure what your trying to say here.... but ok whatever
