Might have been a good idea to pre-load the body by having the weight on the suspension before installing any frame connecting equipment. Bodies can flex and settle. When I built frame connectors for my Charger, I built raising boxes out of 2x4s to keep the body pre-load before welding it in place. Helps prevent any problems with doors closing and the like. I'd also tack weld your assembly if you don't plan on removing it. It'll make it much more stronger and rigid.

Adding a skid plate, lift kit and knobby tires, O. K. But fitting all that heavy gauge steel like bull bars, rock sliders, brush guards, luggage roof racks, and such is a waste of money. Looks cool? or looks like heavy garbage. I saw a factory Wrangler loaded with that crap, plus a farmers jack, winch, and an exterior jerrycan. Chrysler couldn't have charged that pigeon anymore.

For anybody else watching this. Never put rock sliders (or really anything that bolts to a unibody) unless the suspension is holding up the vehicle. Also make sure the work area is a level as it could be. The WJ was much more stiffer. But it was still kinda flexible.
Now it still might be tweaked even with the suspension supported. But it might be straighter.

mate, the way you put the video together, and the amount of practical details you put in (holding the end of the bolt, or friction being enough to do it) is SO good for the people who don't have the day-to day practical experience. Many skim over this stuff because I guess it seems too trivial. This video really made me think I can do it! (Y) thank you!

Very good video. I like that you show what it takes to get er done when there issues. It seams there are always some issue when installing modified equipment. I have watch all of your videos on modifying the WJ, and am receiving my Rough Country 4 lift today. Your video inspired me to go a little outside my comfort zone and install myself. Wish me luck.

nice project.
I would have used a longer stainless bolt for the rocker to to frame fish it thtough the frame from inside and secure it with spring washer and nut. Since its long so I will use double nuts on the tip of the bolt. It is used to hold the bolt when tightening and removing the bolt.

Dude your Jee looks so great! Those Rock Sliders really enhance the look! And the undercarriage is rust free! My WJ is not quite as clean underneath, I'm going to be taking it to a place near my home that rust proofs the Chassis! It cost around 300. 00 well worth it!

Quality work as usual. It does, however, kill me to see a nice clean example get turned into Swiss cheese. It is only original once! I guess that it would be less upsetting to see an old stove getting drilled full of holes as they are a dime a dozen.

Black Butyl Rubber Sealant for sealing and covering up those bolts. Very sticky last forever. Should be able to purchase at your local hardware. Comes in a 10 oz caulk tube, never dries up. It will film harden on the outside once applied.

Hey Eric, which cordless ratchet is that you're using in this video? It looks like it has a DeWalt 20V battery on it. I'm tired of waiting for DeWalt to bring out a 20V ratchet that I can use my existing batteries on.
