That thing is going to be a monster!

 

[336wheeler]

That is SWEET. I will be following this.

 

[cburgin]

what is the frame height set at? One of my favorite color yjs!!!

 

[CTRaceWorx]

painted corners & brackets cut

 

[crawlin4life]

nice crawler, will it be street legal?

 

[KrawlerYJ/WJ]

nice crawler, will it be street legal?

sure will be. Plan on driving it to work once or twice a week

 

[CTRaceWorx]

For it being a Jeep on 42s it will be extremely streetable. Bart use to work with us at the shop and knows how to do one right. After the last couple Jeeps we've done I feel I got everything pretty dialed in pretty well. We'll most likely end up putting a lot of this build in kit form.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

frame stretching and new mounts for the steering box

 

[CTRaceWorx]

some painted armor and close ups of the wheels

 

[stayXbrutal]

carolina truggies always does some of the greatest work!

 

[95yjjeep]

what kind of paint did you use on the body armor. it looks textured?

 

[obxbronco]

that thing is a beast!

 

[Crawler Nut]

Man thats some mighty fine looking welds. Nice rig.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Thanks for the compliment guys, the paint is Duplicolor bedliner in a can. It works really well for body pieces like that.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

In house "bump formed" tracbar brackets for the YJ...truss should be photo'd tomorrow

a combo bracket housing front LCA's, rear LCA's and rear UCA's is getting cut out this week with pictures and testing to come

 

[GrnRanger]

wow. those brackets are works of art.

 

[CrashKnott]

no joke, this is 1 siiiick YJ build!

Almost makes me want a Heeep...almost!


Keep up the freakin sweet fab!

 

[CTRaceWorx]

Thanks, I wanted to make stuff a little different than the norm and this seemed to be the best way to do it, giving rounded brackets to a square Jeep. It seems to be working pretty well, the front truss has been fun to make so far. When I get a big boy 60+ ton press brake in here it will make things even better and we'll be unlimited on the custom stuff we can make here. If you guys think of anything like that that would be cool to incorporate into the build let me know. I'm always open to new ideas.

Who has the laser table? Looks like a fun build.

 

[CTRaceWorx]

A good friend of mine about 2 miles down the street. Its a 3 axis high def plasma table. Its a beast, capable of cutting 3" plate and 1.5" at a 45 degree angle. They're still playing with the amperage and speed to get everything cut 100% but its doing really good so far.

 

[sos4x4]

They good on their pricing? PM their phone number if you could. Keep up the good work!

 

[336wheeler]

Is that a panhard axle and frame bracket? It looks great. I'm actually impressed with that.

 

[95yjjeep]

what are you doing with the creepies in the background? they for sale?

 

[Foxracin]

Brackets look pimp. Nice work.
