I have parked next to 3 KJs so far, all without a camera. 1 stock and 2 lifted, most likely daystar. The ride height is quite the contrast. I'll get pictures ASAP. I mounted up the belly skid finally. It is going to work out great and will provide a great flat surface for the jeep to slide across rocks on. I still need to see if I can figure a way to protect the front half of the underbody, from the t-case cross member forward a bit. |

We are still hammering out the details of the Safari and I am not sure I'll be able to make it, but I hope to be there. |

if one were to use the 8.25 like you did. is there a way to make a bracket for the UPPER control arms and mount it to where the vibration dampener/ tri-link balljoint mounts on the 8.25 pumpkin? instead of welding that bar onto the axle tubes? and is that correct that the front HP D30 for the 95-96 cherokees are the best choices? |

Making the connections to fit where the vibration dampener mounts would be a lot harder that welding on a pre-made axle truss. But if you rally wanted to, you could do it, but it would be a waste of money and effort in my opinion. We looked at adding a mount to those spots to reinforce the axle truss and it would have been a serious pain to get it exact. |

Here is the rear half of the belly skid. Not sure what I will do about the front half yet. It is made of 1/4" steel and there is some channel steel welded on top of it so it won't bend. I used 2 existing nutzert mounts from the factory skid locations, 2 of the t-case crossmember bolts, and then I added 2 more nutzerts into the new frame we added. I'm very pleased with how it came out. Especially for $35 in steel.
as you can see in the pics, the skids have already been tested. I don't think I ever posted pics of the seat covers or the rear door cargo pockets I added after I bought them from a member on here. They add a ton of extra carrying capacity for tools and stuff. I love em.

The seat covers are made by Rugged Ridge. They're the 'seat protectors' near the bottom of the page. I did not originally get them from this site though, it was some random parts / accessories site that I cant remember now. http://www.ruggedridgeoffroad.com/jeep-seat-covers.php Part#13235.37 on there, I believe. |

I've only done what I have already posted, but I can tell you that it works like a champ so far. It was thoroughly tested last weekend. I am looking to probably just make a front piece like the rear one that will bolt up using 2 existing skid nutzerts and then two of the transfer case cross member bolts. |

I had to get my trailer weighed while getting it registered today and while I was at it, I figured I'd weigh my jeep too. Big Black comes in at 4,970 pounds. |

Inc, the mod you made to the antenna using the firestick, do you find that you have better reception when listening to am/fm radio? |
