OME HD at 38" in front.....

Your truck looks great thance! I'm even more excited about mine after viewing your photos.

Thanks Joe! I thought I had overdone it at first, but am quickly growing use to it. I have how-to's on the rear tow rings and seudo-sliders as well as the front plow-mount and receiver somewhere, possibly over on jeepcommander.com. I should start up a garage thread someday and get everything together... someday.

Thance, I couldn't find your rear tow ring write up on this site or jeepcommander.com. I am very interested in doing this to gain better rear tow points, if you could post up a how-to it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ross

Those look like 4xGuard rear sliders.

They are not 4xGuard, though similar, I did them from scratch.

This is going from memory, but I bought 2 pieces of 3/16" steel 2"x36".
I cut them in half giving me 4 18" long pieces.
Cut a slope on the back bottom edge, so they tapered up a little bit in the rear making the rear edge 1 1/2 - 1 3/4".
Drilled 2 7/16" holes through each one to bolt into the rear sub frame.
Drilled matching holes through the sub frame.
Drilled a very large hole through the rear of each piece where the shackle connects.
Bolted it all together.

Cost about $14 in steel and another few for the shackles and bolts.

Here are some pics of the rear shackle mounts:

Realized how scruffy they looked and applied some nice new flat black Rustolium:
