Ultimate Adventure 2007 Jeep JK Wrangler - 5.9L Cummins Diesel
In the rear of the frame a small notch was needed to clear a major body rib in the Jeep tub, plus the rear-spring shackle mounts were lowered a bit to clear the tub and tailgate. Long sections of the front and rear frame are remaining until we get ready to install the Fab Fours bumpers. This will allow us material to work with when attaching the Jeep bumpers to the Dodge frame. It may sound incredibly simple, but unlike many of the previous projects that AEV does-where they simply move digital drawings of the different parts around on the computer till it all fits before cutting anything on the vehicle-this build meant every notch and weld in the body and frame involved multiple repetitions of putting the body on the frame, marking points that interfered, pulling the body off the frame, and then cutting and fixing both. It was an incredible amount of work, but truly the best way to make everything work together. View Related Article
