Midwest Krawlers grouped together and built an awesome lunch/hangout shelter then did some wheeling! Had a great wheeling trip earlier this month after an initial hiccup while loading up that was almost bad.
Finally, the last part of the rock slider build! Lets finish them up and see what they look like completed. The goal is to have some beefy nerf bars we can use to rub against rocks and still be able to open the doors after a long day of wheeling!
Today we cap the giant hole we just made from cutting off the rocker panels and reinforce the rock sliders. Then we reattach the fenders using some race car parts.
Time to remove PJ’s rusty rocker panels and build some rock sliders from scratch. Rock sliders are great for protecting your doors offroad and providing a pivot point around trees and rocks.
I found some awesome used UTV tires and Jeep wheels for my Vitara. Nevermind the fact that 15″ wheels aren’t supposed to fit a 2nd gen, I don’t always listen to others. Read more to see how I …umm… persuaded them to fit along with lots of pics.
