Hockey pucks are awesome. They work great for Front bump stops. They are 1 inch thick ansd perfect fit in the coil spring. Found this on great lakes xj, and its how I am gonna do mine.

I have a Surco rack on my XJ. I made the rear light mounts and Spare tire carrier. I'm doing the hockey pucks for bumpstops as well.

Let me know if you need some pucks, I'm always picking them up at the Icebox.

I've built all the bumpers for my Jeeps...
My 93: This is the front obviously, and the back was just a standard 2x4x3/16
My XJ: built both bumpers, the rear was stout, unibody tie ins, 1/4 mounts, 3/16 for the rest. In retrospect, the tire carrier should NOT have been 3/16.
On the XJ, Ghetto Cowl induction I call it.. Longer hood bolts with some nuts used as spacers...

Cop Beacon

I'm still getting the parts together but I notice how alot of wranglers put off road driving lights up near the windshield. Well, the other day I'm out behind Notre Dame PD having a cig and I'm looking at the cop cars beacons. I could do that on the wrangler, plus they can be aimed in different areas on the trail, or if a buddy sitting next to me in his Jeep needs light to fix a tire or whatever. I'm gonna put one on each side. Like I said, still getting parts and doing research, but It will be done and it WILL look cool and it will be very usefull, no just a pretty.

Just got this finished, a licence plate relocation bracket. And made it for far less than buying one. Now only problem is it looks so good how I painted it up for the picture, I am not sure about movin my licence plate!

The t-case drop that came on it was just 2 poly/plastic(?) pucks on each side. I had some scrap 1 1/2" square tube and cut some to 6" long, drilled holes, mounted and painted. 2 of the bolts were snapped off, so I also welded the drop where needed and bolted the crossmember to the drop. Seems more solid now.......

I made a Rack to mount to the tailgate using the Bestop HighRock 4X4™ Universal Rack Tray:
My Custom Gusset:
From the back side:
I made this so I could slide the rack off when not using it. I won't be able to carry a full cooler of beer or anything
but some extra bulky stuff will be nice. When I can afford it I will add a swing out tire carrier.

A Rear Hitch Skid Plate/Cover
I made it so the ND emblem I already had would fit nicely.

Love the removeable cargo basket! I was going to do something similiar on the unstopable xj but never got around to it. Good mods!
