Jeep Chair Fund Raiser Project
Jeep Chair Fund Raiser Project
This shows what I was thinking for the Jeep Grill Chair. If we used 1-3/4 tube to tie together the grills and rockers, it might kind of resemble roll bar or tube-bumpers.
The rockers would be made from a couple of leaves from a stout spring pack -- two leaves each to reduce flex and hopefully keep the thing from falling backward.
Any other ideas?
Anyone want to come over Sunday and spit-ball ideas over a beer?

Any thoughts about running the support tube outside of the grills (right) or running the tube through the holes for the turn signals (left)? It might be easier to build/reassemble if the tubes were outside of the grill. However, it might look cooler/cleaner to run the tubes through the turn signal holes.

Try to vision this.... We take a grill and run extended frame rails out the front and tie them together with a light bumper.
The legs of the chair could connect to the bottom of the frame rails. The arms of the chairs could then tie in from the sides of the grill out and down to the frame rails.

Yup and thanks. Maybe we can get our better haves to grill up some Mexi food around dinner time. I plan to bend the tube tonight for one chair. There will be a lot of fab and fitment for Sat.
Notice that I used the word " haves" instead of "halves". If you're married, you'll understand
Others are encouraged to show up. Dolly and I are thinking that we could do a Taco Night if others are interested. You know, you could swing by, grab a taco, and tell Tim that Steve measured it twice and still cut it too short. Regardless, food a 6PM

I have a pair of these things.
Now it gets hard. It's time to quit for a for night because the steaks burning on the old wash tube are nearly done.
It's no Weber, but it's better than my Traeger for cooking steaks.

Looking good!

Building a capable off roader is easy, building a street legal one that you can wheel and then drive daily is the challenge...

More still needs to be done, but I think we're past the hardest parts. Neither Tim or I have time to continue the work on this for a week or so. Any of the hot dog welders in the club are welcome to finish off the tack welds. Once welded, I'll finish the seat with oak slats and paint the frame. Tim came up with a cool and simple way to mount the grill so that it is easily removable.
The left arm is not completely finished...We pooped out.

Al, after much scratch'en and stink'en, Tim and I decided the rocker idea would be to hard to make safe, lite-ish, and durable. The goal is to make a cool looking and comfy chair. The blue and green grills are better constructed for the design we figured out.
