Pvanweelden's JKUR build

[pvanweelden]

I found some time over lunch today and got one corner cut. Disclaimer- apparently I don't cut worth a crap with a jigsaw, so these will take a lot of sanding before I am done

Me too. Thats why i usually cut on the fat side of the line

 

[pvanweelden]

Lol, it's kinda funny, because I felt like I was doing a good job, until I finished and you see the high and lows
Using the Pb blaster with the jigsaw like a water jet works good, but it does erase sharpie lines

Looking good PV, now you just need to come to Australia and make me a set :rock:

 

[pvanweelden]

Thanks Hillz, if I was your neighbor, I would help ya build your own set

Who can guess what I am making out of these pieces?

Here's the pieces all cleaned up- $28 is what I have into it so far, and it is something that I know my club mates headed to Moab in a few weeks would love to take with them

2 holes to drill, and some welding, and it will be done.

Got all the notching done on the dom. And received oil pan skid, fluid film and 12 ft of rubber sheeting.

What you going to use the rubber sheeting for?

 

[pvanweelden]

That's something me and the wife like to....
Jk, the rubber sheeting will go between the aluminum body armor and the sheet metal of the jk body.

Possible?? I almost went that way myself with rubber between the lower skins but I'll never take them off.

I didn't see this posting :grayno: The bending of the armor is coming out great (Jealous) :thumb: You think you'll be taking off the armor when you install it?

Jk- not sure what your question is- but the rear corners are turning out so far the way I thought they would- anyone with a set of corners that doesn't exactly follow the jk corner shape can tell you that a piece of metal on top of the corner can hide how the corner piece doesn't mold perfectly- and that is what I am looking at now- I am close, but probably 1/2" gaps at the top, so I will probably tig weld in a filler piece to make it more presentable.

But thank you Jk, here is one corner almost done minus all the drilling and sanding yet to come.

And yes the led light hole is offset so the led won't project out of the edge of the panel.

you learn quick how much curves the jk actually has trying to put a flat piece of metal on. i was amazed, the rear of the evo has a little piece of metal that kinda covers the corner, i just put silicon.

 

[pvanweelden]

Evo did a great job on their corners, they are the best you can buy. No doubt about it. :thumbup:
I went with my own because I wanted aluminum and I had the material already, but now I have to pay to make them work. But they will work. I just need some massaging time

Found a convenient way to store tools, etc and mount to the outside of the rotopax mounts- backpack

Will work with both hardtop and trek top and be secured to the rotopax mount so no worries of losing it on the trail.
One on each side- air tools, grease gun, etc
