Some updates. I got got the proto LJ Rub Rails back from the machine shop!. Now if I bend them with correctly we are making movement forward lol. Does not look like much sitting on the table but I am stoked.

Yes. There is no way to put holes in laminated sheet metal parts with multiple bends and have the holes line up. All in takes is the press brake back stop move slightly or the cut width of the laser to vary batch to batch which they do every time. Once you line everything up visually (not...

You absolutely DO preload. The rockers are slightly over bent so the parts are in some tension when installed. Leave the bottom rash guard hardware mounted, loosen it slightly so the bends can self center and line up. Your really focused on centering the lower edge bends on each other not...

You guys think this will provide the needed clearance?

Yes, but I i am still debating on where. After the fenders are done, I may put a turn signal in the front fender but I also may put them in the grill. want to make some sort of bracket that lets me mount lights to the bull bar as well. Not sure yet.

What does this height need to be?

Thanks, I am glad you like it!. Yes. 1.5 Tube in 304 SS to match my other materials. The place I use to laser cut parts just got a new tube laser and I sent the tube to my guy this morning for him to look at. Not sure on a time frame for availability.

@The4bangertj brought up a good point. If you don't have "full" coverage and are not being ticketed what is the desire to have 8 inch flares based on? Do you wheel muddy trails often and just prefer more coverage? Just wondering.

I am almost to the "ideal flare width" question lol.. The rear flares are easy, fronts are little more complex. I am 90 percent done with the fender base, as soon as I finish test fitting parts the flare width discussion will begin. I will not be making one off flares, sorry I just don't have...

Yes sir. The version tested by @Swiss-cheese TJ-6 (thanks again) mounts by cutting off the upper windshield hinge barrel and stacking the body side lower hinge barrel on top. The flack jackets that are cut around the hinges leave the hinge barrel being only supported by the sheet metal and...

Thanks for posting, these pics show why the blank is needed when stretching. If you cut the wheel well first its never in the "best" location, but even worse the wheel opening goes into the large radius bend and no matter how you make that bend there will be a nasty flare where the wheel...

You guys rock, thanks for helping out its greatly appreciated!

Nice, my eycrometer is not that far off lol. That's why I asked about the 49/7 backlash. Not that it matters but that's the pattern I would run. One more silly question, are you installing the side adjuster retaining clips and backing them off in a "locked" position when checking backlash...

Is the purge valve clicking?
