OK ROUND 2!

Woke up early so I could do some cutting/grinding before the wife left for work.

It's nice out too so I pulled the jeep out and hosed off the rear... was tired of getting dirt/sand in my eyes!



This was the main culprit of my misery last night. The bumper needed to go higher but this dowel was interfering, already at the top of the hole is was designed to go into. I have a feeling those holes on the back of the frames are more manufacturing purposes only and not held to very tight tolerances like the rest of the body/frame; might explain why this fit on Jon's and not mine.



Also shaved down some of the edges to add clearance where it was a tight fit and digging into the body. If it goes on i'll probably grind away more in the spring when i pull it off for paint.





..... round 2 starts soon. I think the only other thing i'll want to do is increase the hole size in the frame rails; maybe to 5/8" or so.
