You happen to have anymore pics of the platform. I've been looking around for a design but I have not come across any.

just picked her up recently, havent even thrown on new tires yet.

1988 xj pioneer, 140K original on it, almost no rust.

currently on it...
Air Shocks
Emergency lighting(code 3 pse 6100, galls deluxe headlight flasher)
siren(galls controller, carson speaker)

was going to buy a small bds lift from buddy that included shocks for $150(3", he won it but already has a 4.5") and my radiator decided to crap out on a 110 degree record breaker a week or so ago, upgraded to a new csf 3 row aluminum radiator which im installing as soon as i post this.

plan to do skid plates, the lift, some decent a/t or m/t, snorkel,axle swap,bumpers/winch, sliders and electrical mods...not going to do extreme trails that demand body damage...i just like to minimize potential for breakage.

here it is a few days after picking up.(yes ive taken off the hideous side steps!)

Nice job on the TJ flares.

Usually when people use TJ flares they rush the install and it doesn't wind up looking very good at all; but your install looks almost factory. The use of rear TJ flares on the front really helps too: you don't have double side marker lights. Well done!
