i dont see why they send you small washers and me huge ones so they have to overlap on the rear bracket.

and arlo, i dont think he slams his belly down on any rocks, he prefers to roll sideways onto them

yeah i was thinkin the same thing... that rear bracket won tlast long when it comes time to take a big hit

i have plans already to beef it up


im going to weld a support piece onto the top of the bracket so it forms an "L" type bracket around the unibody rail. I will just use large self tappers to bolt it into the rail on that support piece. that top support will be gusseted and i will add a gusset to the bottom of the bracket that runs between the two bolts as well.

any flaws you see in that re-design? i think that will make it plenty strong

I wonder why they didn't make it like the WJ one, all just one piece or at least do the rear part like that.

Your Jeep is one of the toughest looking ZJ's I've seen. I love the silver on that diff cover. Someday I'm gonna come up and see your Jeep in person. Maybe I'll be dragging you into helping me get a lift on. Who knows. I'm a user like that. We can always wheel after though. You know, to make sure the lift is up to par.

Quick question, btw, where'd you get that gas skid?
