Rebuilding The Rear End On My Jeep TJ With No Bodywork Skills Whatsoever

Part 5 of the Jeep TJ rebuild project! It's been a lot of work to get this far but we have definitely made some rear improvements to this old Jeep. I can't wait to see how the build turns out!

A length of rectangular tubing makes a fine bumper and is tougher than a factory one. Big Bird is going to love you for all the work you're doing to her, hope Justine isn't jealous.

I would not trust those hooks at all. Check if the loop is at least welded. I think the front hooks rating is a secure pull rating with a very higher hit rating for a kinetic rope. The small hook you order will probably snap-deform with 1 pound more than their rating. Also, if you want something to snap if you go over the limits, don't make it metal! A soft shakel alone can do terrible damages, but it's noting compare to metal parts.

[@NEWFSTAH]

LOL, I was gonna say on the last vid that it was the longest I've seen your hair.

[@timg0222]

Big Bird is turning into Super Bird, I love it! Also, please tell me that you are using gravel guard on the back side of all of the new pieces that you are welding on that you won't be able to coat or treat once installed? I would hate for all of that hard work to be ruined with more rust in a year or two. 😮 I'm looking forward to the next video. Good luck!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks! And yes we are coating everything as we go

[@timoldenburg2249]

Nope, those tow hooks are going to bend. You should weld them on I’ve tried those and they bent, they work if welded 👍

[@ToddFaulkner-es8ct]

I will be welding them on for sure not to worry and the loop is fully welded as well

[@artillerybuff2000]

Enjoyed, thank you~

[@BobNob1]

check Trailhead customs for the bumpers

[@LookJohnItsaRubicon]

Are they good in Mud?

[@BobNob1]

those tow hooks are not strong enough Mike

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I’ll be putting on a bumper with proper recovery points soon

[@rileyscott9498]

While you are working on the Jeep are you going to fix your four wheel drive shifter

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Yes we are

[@kerrymarkley7702]
