Interest in building part's this summer??
« on: March 09, 2009, 04:07:20 PM »
I know i have gotten a few PM's and in conversation people have asked about building some stuff for people.  I am trying to see if there is any real interest in this. 

Basically I would be willing to build.

1. Long arm for your current suspension. (cost would be around $1500 depending on what joints were used.  Would also have to leave the jeep with me for a weekend)

2. Tube fenders (If i get 2 people to commit, i will build them for $125 each. I can do inner fenders for an additional $50) 

3. Bumpers. ( front bumper $150 with winch mount and rear would depend on the tire carrier)

4. could be other things but this is just what i thought about.

Once again i am not trying to sell my business, i am just trying to see if I can get enough interest to cut back my job this summer.  If prices are to much let me know, i am just throwing numbers out there.  I am wanting to build some stuff this summer and this would keep me from spending to much momey on my jeep haha.

I would really like to see hard corners like yours but for the JK. Kind of like Off-Road Evolution Outlaw corners. The Jk has been out for a good while but aftermarket stuff is slim depending on what you want. I have a 2 dr. Would this be possible?

If you could make a good looking but basic bumper for a ZJ for only $150, I'd buy it.

Well, i am not sure about the JK corners because of the off curve of the body.  I will look at my buddys and see what i can do but i dont think it is going to be easy to make.  Ben, ZJ's have the worst front bumper mount known to man kind haha.  I don't think i could do it at that price.

Alex... if I had the cash, I'd have you make me some bumpers, sliders, trail doors so I could lean out and see what's in front of me, and a spare tire carrier... you'd be a busy man.

That's what turned me off of them. It can be done, you just gotta have the $10,000 equipment like Offroad Evolution has!  {nln}

Me and jimmy are talking about cutting some out and building some.  An XJ bumper wouldn't be that hard to build.  I will see what i can do.  Jimmy, draw this thing up on your autocad. ;D

If I get tired of working on the axles tomorrow I'll bust out the tape measure and take a look. We need a cool name and logo now, haha.

I wonder if there would be any interest in XJ corners? They seem hard to find at any price.

Actually, the mounts are bad at all, as long as you fully cut out the "frame" rail holes first.

And that statement was a joke, no one can make a ZJ bumper that cheap unless you do it yourself and its really basic.
