@mbwesner I was thinking of adding one of those to my WJ. One for protection from flying objects but to also store things on. I though it would work to hold some gear as well and maybe some pouches on the passenger compartment side for my girls to store stuff. What brand did you go with?

Well looks like a buddy's nephew who is taking welding in school is going to weld my rack extension up this weekend. Which means I can get it painted, put together and get my ARB awning finally mounted. While I am out there I may work on finally installing my CB as well. Where are you WJ...

@administrator What kind of tools do you carry?

I'm down

Absolutely

I did find another option. These ROCKer Panel Sliders look interesting.

I hear ya. Probably have a pro do this job. I talked to a shop when I had my ZJ and was quoted $300 to cut em out and do the same.

WOW you guys carry alot and I'm sure it got built up over time. For someone just getting started what would be the minimum you would recommend?

Sounds good. Already working on some stuff. That way we can get together when your free and plan something.

Absolutely. I will start looking into distances and travel times etc... while I'm in my last couple weeks of lay off. That way we will have some info together and can meet up to go over it and plan something.

After reading @ShawnR's post about sockets I figured a good thread to start would be one on what tools at a minimum should someone carry in their rig. This would be a good place for newer people to come and get an idea on what to carry. Right now I carry: Screwdrivers Wire stripper/crimper...

I think @ShawnR and I are planning on making quite a few trips together. Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana @jordanbrooks, Missouri. We were talking about going different places and possibly working on the Jeep Badge of Honor.

Hard to justify replacing them and then buying sliders. Once I get a fab shop or a buddy to help I will try and get alot of pics and share theinfo.

My thought was to do something like this from a guys build on jeep forum. Start at post 5 for the rocker mod. Either that or cough up the cash for new rockersto get put in then eventually put sliders on it.

Technically i have a subframe. I was wondering if this would work. I've seen it done on XJ's and ZJ's mainly and one or two WJ's.

They would be welded to the frame, fenders, and the remaining rockers.

Sounds good to me. Find some trails have a meet up trail ride and camp out

So while talking rigs today I took a look at my rockers and it looks like they maybe starting to rust through. If this is the case I am thinking about cutting them out completely and welding some 2x6 rectangular steel in their place. Taking care of the rocker issue, strengthening the subframe...

Man I need to get some stickers on my jeep lol Yours make mine look so plain. Had a great day today. Glad the kids got along and look forward to future get togethers and getting some trips under our tires. Looks like a homemade air dam for the rack is in order.

I bought the steel to extend my rack and add awning mounts as well as stripped the rack down to the bare minimum. Now I have to wait for my buddy to do some welding and decide what I'm going to do for a floor.
