I SET THE BED UP TO HAUL 2 BIKES IF NEEDED. ALL THE BODYWORK IS DONE SO ITS BEING HANDED OFF TO THE PAINTER. IT SHOULD BE QUITE A SIGHT ALL PAINTED UP AND HAULING 2 DIRT BIKES. THE 5.7 VVT TRUCK ENGINE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS HAULING THIS LOAD AROUND.

Using a composite board that is sandwiched by 2 layers of thin aluminum we made a “tool box” that will fit inside each half door. We will glue these pieces into place once the doors are painted. Several more anchor points were also welded in to help out with tying gear down. Next I am adding two more wheel chocks on either side of the main center chock. Two dirtbikes will fit in here (just barely) so I will have some options if I want to bring a buddy along.

WE STARTED WORKING ON THE REAR HALF DOOR STORAGE DOORS. I WILL CARRY ITEMS LIKE TOW STRAPS AND TREE SAVERS IN THESE. NOTHING TOO HEAVY. I WILL ADD AN ELECTRIC SOLENOID TO EACH DOOR TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE HALF DOORS.

NEXT IS PAINTING AND MAKING THE REAR STORAGE ORGANIZED AND ACCESSIBLE.

THIS JK HAS THE 400 HORSE 5.7 VVT TRUCK HEMI WITH THE GETRAG 238 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE HEMI CONVERSION WAS OF COURSE THE FIRST UPGRADE WE DID ON THIS JK.

THIS WAY THE HALFDOORS WILL BE CLOSED OFF FROM THE ELEMENTS. WE ALSO ROLLED A PIECE OF 14 GUAGE STEEL INTO A CURVE THAT MATCHES THE DIAMETER OF A 21 INCH FRONT TIRE. THIS ALONG WITH 2 ADDED BARS WILL HOLD THE FRONT TIRE IN PLACE. SEVERAL TIE DOWN POINTS WILL ALSO BE ADDED.

IT BARELY FITS.

A LITTLE TRIMMING AND IT WENT RIGHT IN. WE TACK WELDED AND USED 3M PANEL BOND ADHESIVE TO HOLD IT ON.

THE INSIDES OF THE HALF DOORS WILL ALSO BE MADE INTO TOOLBOXES. IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THE REAR BODY AFTER THE REAR ROLL BAR WAS REMOVED, WE BENT UP SOME 1.5” ROLL BAR TUBE TO CAB THE BED RAILS WITH AND TIED THAT INTO THE FRONT B PILLAR. WE MODIFIED THE HARDTOP TO ATTACH WITH THE B PILLAR IN PLACE AND NOT REMOVE THE PILLAR LIKE THE TOP WAS INTENDED TO DO.

AFTER SOME QUICK MEASUREMENTS I DETERMINED THAT THE 58 INCH WHEELBASE OF THIS BIKE WOULD JUST FIT IN THE BACK OF A 4 DOOR JK THAT WAS MADE INTO A PICKUP. DIGGING INTO MY PILES OF SPARE PARTS I FOUND A LEFTOVER TMD HALFCAB AND WENT INTO MODIFYING THE JK RIGHT AWAY.
