Those pictures tell 1000 words Banshee.
I finally got around to locating & extending my TC & transmission vents.
I found this Blue Sea fuse box on ebay. I mounted it up in the inner passenger well, next I'll tidy up some of the interior electrics..

Going to the bolt shop this morning to get some new bolts. The ones holding the cross member on are 'somewhat worse for wear'. That is, the holes through the c/m were filled with the same red mud that was covering much of the rest of the engine in a thin layer that I still cannot totally remove from the PO. The ones on the left in particular, have lost some of the threads & shaft to rust...
Some pics for your viewing horror... 
All 4 bolts, I've started cleaning the top 2.
Closer view of the 2 from the left side of the car.
Why I'm replacing the cross member.
The difference between the ORM (right) and Poison Spider via DBOR (left).
Oh yes, and the new slider/steps.
edit: Picked up new bolts and dropped the new crossmember off to be zinc & powder coated. Should be ready Thursday. Also picked up extra air hose to run from the compressor under the bonnet, down to the front bar so I don't have to open it every time I want to use it.  |
does this new crossmember fit diesel jk 4 door

I don't know. Designed in the US, so made for V6, but some have said there is only one part number for the c/m in the catalogue. Although someone else posted a pic showing the diesel has a different shape (wider section at one point). 
Best to give DBOR a call & ask, they would be best placed to know.

DBOR says it doesn't fit a diesel, which is a pity!

Banshee those sliders look awesome! I've found a slider I really like and the missus agrees on Might have to look at upgrading my crossmember too as comparing the to makes you wonder if the OE can handle much abuse without giving out....

Aaand the final job for the weekend. I extended the air line to an outlet on the front DBOR bar. (I have a cap that covers it to keep the crap out when not in use.)
