In the late 1990’s Dan was fabricating 4 link suspensions and pioneering the way. Many of the builds were on the Jeep YJ platform. From the builds the interest in building transformed into a full time business called Blue Torch FabWorks (BTF). BTF took the offroad scene by storm in 2001 creating industry leading DIY builder products at a time other companies were still focused on providing bolt on accessories. Well a lot has changed over the years. Dan sold BTF in 2009 and took a break from off-roading until starting Motobilt in 2012. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\" id=\"divtext\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is only natural to want to build another YJ. In the start up of Motobilt in 2012 and 2013 the Green YJ was built putting together concepts to make building the YJ for extreme use even easier. Now its time to step the bar up yet again with the new personal YJ build. The build is already generating a lot if interest from customers and other vendors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe build started with Dan DuBose taking a stock 1987 Jeep YJ and completely disassembling it. In the beginning a lot of questions were going around the shop. What would be? More than a month was spent 3D Scanning the Jeep YJ to generate data to be used during the build process. I think you will see this data collection is paying off. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe team involved in this build consists of Bender, Dan and Bruce. Together a lot of ideas are getting discussed and great ideas are coming to life on the build. So far the team has designed and fabricated a new 15” stretch back half frame kit, replacement high clearance rear inner fenders and a 15” stretch version, boat side rockers with interior sheet metal panels in stock length ad 15” stretch. The front half frame kit for the Jeep TJ was updated with the 3D scan data on the YJ to also fit the YJ. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest developments is the next evolution of 4 link suspension mounts for the Jeep YJ and TJ platform. Always advancing and doing better things Dan set out to offer a triangulated front and rear system to make it super easy for others to build a world class rock crawler suspension. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cz-embed-gallery\" id=\"cz-embed-gallery37756\"\u003e\u003c!-- ALWAYS KEEP THIS EMPTY --\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cozy-video-gallery\" id=\"cozy-video-gallery7873\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- ALWAYS KEEP THIS EMPTY --\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cinput class=\"btn\" id=\"btndisplay\" value=\"Read More\" type=\"button\"\u003e","published_at":"2022-02-04T14:49:59-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"2022YJBuild"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":162558345300,"handle":"new-collection","title":"New products","updated_at":"2022-05-26T17:31:04-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-04-14T11:41:25-05:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"newest"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"mws_apo_generated"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":162558804052,"handle":"newest-products","title":"Newest Products","updated_at":"2022-05-26T17:31:04-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2020-04-14T11:55:51-05:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"newest"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":262663143508,"handle":"parts-101-500","title":"Parts $101 - $500","updated_at":"2022-05-26T14:50:58-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2021-11-17T15:09:48-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"101"},{"column":"variant_price","relation":"less_than","condition":"500"},{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"mws_apo_generated"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":262998851668,"handle":"all","title":"Products","updated_at":"2022-05-26T17:31:04-05:00","body_html":null,"published_at":"2022-02-04T09:05:27-06:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":null,"disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"not_equals","condition":"mws_apo_generated"}],"published_scope":"web"}]
Pushing your Jeep YJ / CJ hard off-road will eventually lead to body damage. The cowl area between the hood and windshield seems to be a magnet for trees and rocks to get into it. Motobilt offers a solution to protect the Jeep YJ / CJ cowl area with our cowl armor. The cowl armor is fabricated in house at Motobilt from high quality 3/16” steel plate. The cowl armor is installed with 5/16” bolts and depending on your setup rivnuts may have to be utilized. On our shop YJ we removed the heating unit components so we were able to use through bolts and nuts. The kit will include both rivnuts and lock nuts allowing the installer to decide how they might want to complete the install.
Install can be a little tricky simply because Jeep YJ and CJ tubs vary a little in shape. The easiest way to install the cowl armor is to sit the part on the side of the Jeep aligning them to your Motobilt rocker guards. Drill the bottom two holes through the hole in the countersunk hole. Keep in mind this hole diameter is smaller than what's needed for the rivnuts, so this is a great way to locate the starting holes. Install hardware to bolt down into these two holes. From here we take a long ratchet strap and connect it to the frame on both the driver side and passenger side of the jeep, letting it pass over the top of the Jeep. We tighten to compress the cowl armor the Jeep perfectly completing the install one side at a time.
KIT INCLUDES:
Driver side cowl armor
Passenger side cowl armor
Install Hardware.
NOTES:
The kit ships raw steel. Painting or powder coat will be required. We highly recommend installing them before painting to reduce the chance of scratching them when drilling holes and strapping them into place.
