Well got something done today with a 4x6x10 and a few bolts,,,,,boom new door hangers.

That's nice. The extra thickness of the board lets the doors lay flat against the wall. 

 

I just put the eyebolts in the studs, so the doors stick out at an angle. 

 

I like yours better

Fuel for the fire. 

 

A complete frame is about $1000

 

If I was in your shoes, I would buy one, and build a GenRight Elite in my spare time, then swap it and sell my existing roller chassis.

Nice find. If I did that I would probably go TJ to LJ or LJ over a JK.

 

At the end of the day they all cost about the same.

They do, but ... you could build a frame and swap it with your existing Jeep then sell the roller to offset more than half of the build cost. 

 

Good opportunity for a V-8 swap too.

I bought those bolt up hanging door hinge brackets.   I frankly like your set up better

Small upgrade, GR aluminum cargo rack.

 

 

 

[Weebz]

Nice.   Any reason on the aluminum vs steel other than weight.

I am considering stripping all the paint off my GR stuff and running it all aluminum. Will be alot of work.

[KevinG]

Ha ha.  I got a head start on my fenders and bumper in Colorado.

[AJK]

Well this hurt. 

 

I cut it off today and going to weld in a 3x3 cross beam and slap the GR rear bumper on her.

[Weebz]

That stupid boulder to the right just before the gatekeeper. I got high centered and it spun me 90 degrees so I just laid into it to get off the rock . It wasn't bad heat wise like 75-80. As soon as we hit the bottom of the mountain it was 105.

[AJK]

New cross beam made. Made like the factory just way stronger and absolutely perfect fit for the GR bumper.

 

 

[Jetlau3]

Damn this is sick . Nice work . 

[Weebz]

Nice work man. 

[KevinG]

Looks great!  Nice job on the crossmember.  BTW the rash guard is a worthy add to it.  I drug mine going up something at some point and the middle got pulled out a bit.  

Edit:  I mean the middle section of the bumper where the cutout for the tow package got pulled out a bit before I put the rash guard on.  I drug it a few times in CO after the rash guard was on and all seemed fine.

Yeah I plan on getting them soon, good to know they are worth it. I assume you have to drill some holes?

 

Also, got a wild hair up my ass and filled in the Evo logo on the kickplates and cut out the Evo design on the inner fenders. Nothing against them just like the slicker look of no logos. Next I think im going to fill the slider logos in, iDK for sure yet.

Yep.  Just a few holes.  You're going to laugh when you pull them out of the box.  I think they might be heavier than the bumper.

It's 3/16 angle iron for $220 bucks WOW. The replacement cross beam I replaced was $400 from Jeep and $299 for a aftermarket one. I got a 5 foot 3/16 3x3 square tube for $38 bucks a the steel stop. I bet a piece of 3/16 angle Iron in $20. A few cuts and holes and you will never know the difference. 

 

I love Genright but 8 pound baby Jesus they ask a lot for some of their shit.
