I made plates for the inside and outside with through chassis sleeves for both sides...

They're spot on Jj. Have you installed those yet? Are they welded at all or just bolted?

I like the look of your steering brace. Does it foul on the engine? I have a front cross member off a TJ here, I was trying to mod it someway for a brace. I don't know how that is going to workout....

cheers

we lost our bolts while racing offroad, ours went one by one over the period of 2 hours.

by the end we had 1.5 turns of slack before anything happened on the steering.

we were still running fast laps and 120kmh down the striaghts :)

:shock:

.............

I fitted my plates some time ago, they're complete bolt-on, unfotunately the steering box brace hit the engine so it was cut off to leave just the drivers side, until I can redo it that is....

That's right, I think I remember now, in regards to the steering brace.

But those strengthening plates are the shot I think. I'd like to replicate those. Do you remember how much they cost, approx. to make? I realise it was a while ago now and prices have changed, but it may give me a ball park.

cheers

Thanks for that, I did mention that to them. It's been a week now and they still say they don't have answers from Jeep as to when the parts will get there (if ever). I got pissed off and rang Jeep Australia again who then rang the dealer then rang me back with the same answer. Really starting to miss my Jeep now and I don't even have an answers regarding parts, let alone a repair date.

As I made them myself they cost me nothing but time and paint....

Fair enough then....
Depending on the width of them, I should be able to knock them out of a metre of flat stock. :cool:
