Rubicon Tuber - goingvertical
I am stuck on the rear shock mounts, so I am waiting on word from the new owner as to how he plans to run the rears, then it's done!

| As unflattering as it looks now, it is only a few pieces away from looking perfect. I cut off the rear section, it just didn't sit right with me. I will figure out a nicer way to finish off the rear. |
|
| I finished off the roof, added the front shock mount/body mount supports and installed the first tell-tale Jeep tube, the upper door section. |
|
| Some joints still need ground and smoothed, but it's almost done. |

| Got most of it finished this weekend, sorry for the crappy night pics. I modified the images so it was easier to see... |
|
| Something new here, I made a Delrin trans mount. I made one for my personal rig and I really like the way it cuts, can be formed, etc. It also makes it easy to drop the entire trans out the bottom with 4 screws. |
|
| Lesson learned from damage taken on another rig I built. I added some extra support to prevent it on this one. |

I added the link mount plates,
brass brazed to the front and rear sides. I made them as small as
possible because, well, I think they are ugly. Unfortunately, they
are also required. You can drill them as needed. I am stuck on the rear shock mounts, so I am waiting on word from the new owner as to how he plans to run the rears, then it's done! |
