Arizona Rock Crawler

I’m honestly super proud of this project. A year ago I knew nothing about cars at all. Nothing. This took me 7 days to do properly. I learned how to weld just for this and did all the work by myself in a single car garage. Of course I couldn’t have done it without the guys on the forum! Special thanks to @Chris @jjvw @BuildBreakRepeat @JMT for letting me ask questions and pointing me in the right directions.
 
Yes, the lighter weight from the aluminum is worth it too. My Rokmen steel skid was one of the heaviest things I've ever lifted :LOL:
I don’t even have to use a jack to get it down. I just hold it up with one arm when I take out the last bolt 😂

You should have seen me putting on my Rokmen skid by myself on a Creeper :LOL:

If I had to guess, it weighed 75 lbs.

So much more work than I imagined and I imagined a lot. Everything changed
It’s so much work, and I still have details to polish up. I’m so tired right now I’m just laying on a heating pad resting. Of course, I have planted 3.5 trees 🌳 today . Ton of work though. Patience wins the day.
 
Mine has gotten to the point where she just nods her head when I talk about it :ROFLMAO: Do y’all live together?
Haha yeah we do. She does a pretty good job of handling all the Jeep talk. I’m surprised how much she actually listens. We saw a Jeep on 40s the other day and she was like they better be running Dana 60s under there! Haha

Haha that awesome man! I live with mine as well, she’s okay with all the time I spend on the Jeep since we wheel together 😂 That’s cool she’s learning this stuff 😎

Finally found a good oem air intake on Craigslist for $30 to replace the POs K&N.
