What did you do to your Grand today (ZJ/WJ)?

[Hoobz]

...and the missus surprised me by coming home for lunch Ooo, she not happy when she found me under the Jeep, instead of being in bed. I work for myself so no sick pay



Anyway, I finally finished the rocksliders last night and whacked them on this morning. Now I can relax just that little bit more when listening to rocks and logs scraping under-beneath.











The gap between the right hand bar and the bottom of the doors is only 7mm. A bit too close than I wanted and planned for. When wheeling, and the GC is all stuck and twisted in a ditch or so, it may make it hard to open the drivers door The gap may close and hit. Guess I'll find out and I can fix it one night if I have to, because being able to use the diver's door whenever you want is handy.



And, and, and, I bought a parts bitch WJ from a mate over the road. His girlfriend cooked the engine. I could rebuild it maybe, everything else is good and he just had a fair few exy things replaced (just before she cooked it), like driveshaft, axles etc. It's the 4.0, and I have the 4.7 but they still share enough to make it worth the 1500 for it (I think, looking at spare prices like mirrors, doors and rear glass and stuff). I might hock off the dedicated 6 parts in here? Dunno yet.

Looking better and better each time Chippy. Great job hooking up those sliderz, wished I had the talent and skills, mate. Congrats

Thanks AV8. The paint color is lighter than I wanted, and the fab work I did on these sliders is probably a bit C grade, thanks to my cheapie bender and I lost patience with getting the settings on the MiG perfect, but they'll take a bashing.

I already put a dint in the right side sill toward the back, before I put these on

I thought about making a few more as I went along, but, nope, I was too lazy

Sorry kalais.

I could take them off, make a jig, and make some more but I can't even remember how much I paid for the steel.

Aaawww Hoobz, you've made me jealous again!
Any thoughts of doing up a little build thread with dimensions/recipe for those less technically minded but equally keen silver WG drivers. Pretty please?
Also jealous you are getting out and playing, still waiting for new C-V to arrive before I'm game enough to put any pressure on the tracks!
