Ground-up Flat Fender Build

So... we are working on a flatty. Well we have wagoneer axles and a Chevy drivetrain, but there will be some flatty. In all reality I'm just building a 4x4 that will look like a jeep. Not much jeep, but still a fun build. Hopefully I can retain the nostalgia of the icon while still having a modern and reliable 4x4. Enjoy!

Is this a bad time to change my mind?

Who says losing weight is hard?


You can see how much was removed. More to come I'm sure.
Rear is all ready for the truss and link brackets.

In preparation for the Rubicon in a week, I worked on my belly protection. I put together a pretty nice skid plate yesterday, and it seems to be pretty beefy. Time will tell I guess. It is only out of 3/16" material, but I had some nice bends put on the sides to make it rigid.

I can still get to the oil pan drain plug.
Cut a couple holes out to let the heat from the exhaust dissipate.

Fixed up the tires today

Did a little touch up work to the tires. Not completely done, but you get the idea.
