And the other half is off. Haha! Jose, you thought this Jeep was high off the ground? You should see it less 500#’s!

I know it’s probably no big deal for most of you but it’s exciting to me bacause I’ve never taken apart a vehicle like this before.

Anyone know what these are? Do I need to remove them from the old fenders and reinstall them on the new ones? They weren’t connected to anything?

Those are for when you disconnect the sway bar, the open end of the link rotates up and slips onto that stub.

Have those on my Jeep. They are part of a rubicon express swaybar disconnect system. There should be a hole at the end where a cotter pin would be used to keep the disconnected swaybar link stowed. Yeah you can ditch those as you stated.

Tool box

Looks great. If you are still planning to mount your spare on top, my stock carrier is 7" deep. Should account for the wheel offset and width of tire.
I did some garage cleaning and found it on a shelf. Yours if you want it.

Outside dimensions and storage I suppose... the drawer is obviously smaller than the outside dimensions...

measurements taken from the manufacturers web site.

Great idea and design for the tool box. We'll be working on buddy's TJ right after we finished installing the new rack and hard tonneau cover on the truck project. He's thinking of a smaller version of tool box at the back.

Well that was fun! Thanks for getting some good pics! I took one of you mocking up the very first part before I started welding.
