    point of making me love it

      Thanks! I bought it for $500 and wanted to make a low budget exploring/camping truck. I have had hardcore Wranglers in the past for rock crawling. It has been a fun project and has been fun to travel and camp with my kids.

    4 flute is more of a chaser tap
    Found to have really good luck with skip tooth taps as well.
    Remember the coatings on the taps as well.
    That 4 flute had no coat
    That 3 flute had that black coating

    The rear quarter guards look great, I like how you tied them into the rear tire rack.
    Also, maybe its personal preference, but I always countersink/debur before tapping the hole and to not roll the bur into the threads.

      @SpiralDesignWorks  4 роки тому

      Thanks Ted. Yes countersinking the hole first would be correct order.

    Do you have a video where you cover how you figured out or marked the cut line for where the tube meets the existing bumper? I just got myself a tube bender and my first project is adding a prerunner bar to my xj bumper, and I know that will be a compound angle cut since I want it to stick out from the bumper like yours and not be vertical 90*

    • @SpiralDesignWorks
      @SpiralDesignWorks  4 роки тому

      I sometimes use a pipe marking tool like this amzn.to/3ctMu2D or just hold it up at the angle you want, mark it long and cut it. leave room to cut it back more to make it perfect. You can always take more off...adding it back it a bit harder. Good luck with your project.
