Did you get your Trektop used? Your rear bow is missing.

Yes - It came with the Jeep when I originally purchased it. Sorry about the jacked up sideways picture in the last post, I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

That's everything though, besides the dents from Rausch Creek and the AEV Snorkel.
I hope you guys enjoy! I have big plans for EVO Corners, TC, and Fascia. After that will be a new front axle, slabs, and Nitto 37 Trail Grapplers.

1/4 pounder is almost done. Rigid Industries 10" lightbar needs to be mounted and it'll all be on the Jeep tomorrow. Beginning work on the rear bumper for the fascia/d rings also. Worked all day, outside, in 19 degree weather :icon_crazy:bumperpix.jpg

Almost there! Drilling holes for the stinger is a bitch, any advice?

Sharp bit, corded drill, push HARD.
Also, cut off the top outer corner of the frame horns/plates. Just a little. You don't want to cut the mounting points off but if left un trimmed, that corner will be in the way of mounting the most forward top bolts of the stinger. Ask me how I know. Hope those locations are clearly enough explained. If not, you'll see what I mean once all the stinger holes are drilled.

Looks really good! Have you tried using a smaller bit and going bigger each time? I find that helps

I found the problem! I wasn't lubricating the hole. I switched to a new bit, used a lower speed and sprayed some WD40 in the hole every minute or so. Went right through it. 2 bolts left and then I have to wire up the winch and lightbar :icon_crazy:

I just got done drilling the holes, so I know exactly what you mean now. Fuck. Well I'm not taking everything off again, I might just hit the front 2 outside bolts with loctite and bolt the back 4 in properly.

Ya I said fuck it too. I got one in but not super tight and the other in but I drilled out the hole wider and it's still not cranked down well. If it's a problem later on I'll just get big ass self tapping bolts for it.
Looks really good though!!!!

I stuck the bolts in, but there isn't enough room for the washers. I might chop it when I trim the back for bolt on d-rings.
