KingCopperhead's Build Thread

[KingCopperhead]

Spoke too soon, gussets came today, probably on the porch wen I sent my earlier post. Now to find a welder.

You're in PA? Maybe Coz and hinrichs can recommend someone? I don't know them off the forums but they are from PA I'm pretty sure. I know a great welder in NY lol

Yes, there is a shop not too far from me but I have never used them so they are an unknown to me.

Cool, well hopefully they'll do a good job for ya. Are you going to make a build thread?

Been thinking about it, but after reading Supersize it almost seems anticlimactic.

 

[hinrichs]

Where in PA are you?

Stewartstown, about 15 miles south of York on 83, the Shrewsbury area.

The first cut is the deepest.... LoL

Got about halfway done with the skins last night. No pics yet. We ran into an issue with one of the nutserts and the kit didn't come with any extras. Thankfully my friend with the marson nutsert tool who is helping me with the install has access to these at his place of employment so we should get them finished tonight.

One side done. Other side will be done tomorrow. Used a generous helping of anti seize, and ran a bead of silicone along the perimeter as well as around the logo cut out. I'll have some cleaned up pics tomorrow, should have the sliders done next week.

Looks good. I have to do a set of these.. but I'll do them when I get the new sliders.

 

[KingCopperhead]

Thanks guys! Very happy to have these on. They hide some of the damage from my factory sliders contacting the tub. It was minor damage but enough to bother me. One thing I did notice was how supportive these skins are to the paper thin metal on the tub. What a difference! All the mechanical benefits aside, the visual impact is killer. I've wanted a rocker setup like this for the jeep since day 1.

Sliders are basically painted. Hope to have them burned on next week.

 

[KingCopperhead]

Skins are on. Sliders going on next Monday or Tuesday. Jeep will be ready to go back to Rausch. Pics aren't the greatest, it was shady in my driveway, once the sliders go on I'll get some nice shots from the mall parking lot.

If you look closely at one of the pics it looks like I'm taking a poop in the reflection hahahahaha
