fiend Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I love Genright’s marketing for the B pillar chop: “Do you want to make your Jeep look cool like the GenRight Terremoto JK?” The answer is, “hell yes I do!” Looks great! 2 Link to comment

Weebz Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 And not that I know for sure but it may be much easier to get those upper link mounts set without the tank there. It gives a ton more access to see what’s happening 1 Link to comment
JKBrick Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It looks like you should pay a little extra for the under body wash at the car wash Jerry 1 1 Link to comment

Progress looks awesome. Kinda jelly … Lol, the last wheeling trip i was at was in Dec. Between Christmas and New Years, I never got the chance to really get it cleaned up before it turned really cold. Believe me, it irritates the shit out of me it being that dirty 2 1 Link to comment

AJK Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hey Jerry, do you think the Evo CO's would fit with that fuel cell you have? Link to comment

I'll look but I don't think the EVO upper mounts would let the CO's lay forward enough. This would probably turn into a tsunami of changes you'd have to do like I experienced trying to take small steps & just outboard the CO's then do the triangulated stuff later. Oh well, looks like time to join the outboard club. C'mon in, the water's warm! 1 Link to comment

Looking at the two center pictures, the crossmember the lower links will hook to is only but welded to the frame. That seems to me to be not strong enough to absorb the force applied on the lowers. I'm sure the crossmember itself is strong enough, the frame it's welded to is not very strong to keep the welds from tearing out. Maybe there is more going on that I can't see, so please don't take that wrong. It just seems to me like it needs tied into the frame over a much larger surface area. 1 Link to comment
Jdofmemi Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 That said, at least yours is coming together, instead of boxes of parts collecting dust like mine. 1 Link to comment

These brackets are going on next. These are one of the reasons why I liked this part of the Motobilt kit. Edit: Jeff already has his welded in - check out page 5 of his build 1 2 Link to comment
