How to Install Front Unibody Stiffeners
Channel: Jeeper Gear
Date: 04/11/2020

Today we will install IRO or Iron Rock Off-Road Unibody Stiffeners on my 97 Jeep Cherokee Xj overland project. Over all instal took about 10 hours. Since my Jeep did have a custom track bar mount, I had to make some minor adjustmets to acomodate the extra 3/16th of space, by making the drop bolt holes slightly larger. Other than that, these frame stiffeners fit on nearly like a glove. The pricision cuts on these unibody stiffener plates were on point.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Will recomend anyone who has a Jeep Cherokee to have them installed. 

Tool & Gear I've used.
