    maybe this question has been posed before but it'd be nice to have a fabrication forum for people who want to build bumpers, sliders, long arms... a lot of threads are already out there it would just be a matter of moving them in to the forum. it would also be nice if the forum was subdivided in to categories like bumpers, sliders, skids, diff guards suspension, blah blah blah.... more work for the admins

    at the very least a fabrication sticky should be made

    yours truly,

    Thanks for the reminder. I was starting to think the board was about which transfer case will fit?

    I'm looking forward to will these tires fit?

    If your fabbing something it is probably going on your ZJ right?? Just put it in your built thread.

    navigating the hundreds of build threads can be cumbersome and doesnt generate as much discussion as if there was a dedicated thread to the thing being fabricated.

    Piku, your gay.

    MC is just one great big fabrication/what will or wont work forum. Maybe you should start a web-site called modifying grands for off road use...oh wait...thats been done. Lol.

    Just kidding your not gay, I think, but I'm almost certain that was the creators intent for the entire website...fabrication...because nobody makes shit for these things. That's kinda what makes them fun...any asshole can drop off a Rubi to a shop and come out a "bad-ass". We have to work for it.

    Not trying to be a dick...but you get it right.

    I've found that a lot of the good fabrication and other tech is embedded in the Jeep Journals -- and the most useful ones are usually the longest and have a ton of pages.

    So I first do a "normal" search and ignore the Jeep Journals. Then I do a second search -- specific to the Jeep Journals forum, BUT I display the results as posts. This will make it easier to get to the right page on the Jeep Journal.

    I've found that some of the most helpful threads were written years ago when this site was started. There is rarely a question I have that can't be addressed by searching. The FAQ's are an awesome resource.

    The board is only as good as its members. Matt and I can only do so much to keep this place "on topic."
