Some recent projects

admin

Hey Guys-This is my first post on this site. I've been fabricating stuff as a hobby since right after high school. I thought I'd share some recent projects with you all:Carrier Bearing Separator - I saw Yukon gear's version of it and couldnt justify spending $350 to use it maybe 10 times so I built my own so I could install new gears in my Jeep XJ:Here's a video of it in action:Link to the rest of the pics:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...g%20Separator/Hydraulic Press Brake - I build this so I could build some brackets for a roof rack i made for the Jeep:Link to pics:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Press%20Brake/ARB Copy Winch Bumper - I love the look of the ARB style winch bumpers for the XJs but again could not justify spending $900+ on a bumper:Rest of the pics:http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...inch%20Bumper/Roof Rack - Roof rack I built for the XJ. There's a common theme in all of my builds; I hate paying for labor  so I built my own roof rack too. This is the best pic i have of the rack:Link to picshttp://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...j/Roof%20Rack/Well thats it for now. I plan on building an off road trailer with a roof top tent on it in the next year or so... Comments? Questions? Thanks for looking -Jess
