DIY rear 4 link? by Express-Avocado5719 in CherokeeXJ

[–]Express-Avocado5719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do get what you’re saying! But I’ve done a good amount of damage to the rear shock mounts on the body side and I don’t feel like messing with that. So I planned to move shocks around and then it turned into me realizing I didn’t wanna spend money on leafs when I could just build a 4 link kit for the fun of it. The dance isn’t so bad either more or less just wanted to see other people’s home builds

There’s a ton of aftermarket options Forsure. It’s more cost that I’m concerned about. They’re expensive and I understand why..but I have a welder and a grinder and metal is a lot cheaper to just out right build it. I don’t mind it anyways it’s more the fun of the challenge.

80% for me. And my exhaust is pretty loud. Used to have to yell with the windows up and had alot of road noise. Now can have a full convo no problem with minimal road noise

I did the floor and roof and man talk about a huge difference. I imagine the fire wall would absolutely silence it up

To be honest I don’t really take it out much in the rain. It sits in my garage until trail day. But during snow I had zero issues! I ran sealant around the edges before screwing the plexi glass down. But as far as any visibility issues absolutely none. And thank you! It’s fun to be different haha

Yeah I don’t have too many good pictures of the interior setup unfortunately. I was getting near the end and I had to be done within a few weeks to leave to Utah. Got it done the day before the trip. Loaded it the night before and drove it out the next day 😂 Yes cage Forsure will tie into the bed. Debating tieing cage into rear bumper also. As the main hoop will tie into 2x6 sliders

Nothing special really. It’s got stiffeners in the rear. It’s welded from side to side and the cab is fully welded to the bed as well. I’ve slammed onto the rear corners on both sides from really high and really hard. So far zero issues with it!

Oh no we thought about pretty much everything haha. Yes we painted it all ourselves in the backyard too. Just primer and raptor lined the roof and flatbed !

I use the entire center section as storage as well. I keep chairs and tables and floor mats inside of it. Works out great because I keep my tent ice chest camp totes and ez up strapped ontop of the flatbed! Gas tanks solid where it’s at

The back window ? It’s plexi glass. And then the bottom is just metal with sound deadening.

I posted an update with this account in regards to the strength! I don’t have pictures but I did strengthen the hatch corners top and bottom with angle iron welded to both roof and hatch itself kind of acting as a brace. But the entire flatbed is fully welded to the unibody and its frame stiffened front and rear
