Bumper got a nice look to them. use a thicker coregated cardboard and templates will match in size better next time. Style and shape of bumpers is great, just don't dig how low front tow hooks are and the rear license plate has same issue for me. That license plate will be toast if you actually wheel the truck. It just seems clearanc for real world wheeling was the afterthought. beautiful bumpers and fab work all the same buddy. Maybe ill see you on the trail in browns camp sometime!

Re assembly has began

I don't know, they both know I'm on here and have posted on this thread. Ust not sure if they have looked recently.

Parts are back from powdercoater!

Yup, the seats are heated!

Ya, i still can use the factory control too if outside. Last year on the waterfall on upper helldorado made me decide i want in cab as well. Easier than holding the cable one through window while steering, shifting etc.

Seats are in. In cab winch controls are in. Image Not Found

Thanks guys ^ Got a toggle, couple switchs, and wiring harness for in cab winch contol on order from 12voltguy today. Wes got the needed steel in today to mount the seats, so that should be done soon. Got the ARB compressor to figure out(were to mount) still. Once everything is back from powder coat we will get it put back together and figure out what springs I need for the coilovers. ITS GETTING CLOSE!!!!!!! :clapping: :wrench:

Radio is flipping awesome!!! Mine is a flip up and covers my vents when open. :( Great job!!!

Re worked the tow points to flow better with bumper....old ones just were not working. Bumper, alum. Links, track bar etc went to powder yesterday! :D

Stripped for powdercoat.

Not gonna do fiberglass, gonna keep it more "stock" as for body. Ditched the bobbed bed too.

I haven't spent as much as some on my truck, but I'm sorry that saving a little money is such a problem. If I buy spacers that's $200. If I buy new wheels I can sell the Ravines for a difference of about $200. I paid money for the lifetime balancing and I don't know about you but I like to save money where I can. The Ravines have a back spacing of 5.5 and the spacers will effectively put them at 4.25. The AR23s are 3.75, so that would give me an extra half inch. Given the choice I'd rather have the spacing with the wheels instead of with spacers. I haven't made a decision yet so we'll see. That was more a joke, no matter our builds we all like to save $. Did you actually pay extra for free rotations?!?! Les schwab and discount offer that free up here in washington. I just sold some 5x4.5 spacers on craigs for $50.. if patient they pop up here and there. (Also search 5x114 pattern, its same and very common car size. Spacers are popular with drifters/ricers to "flush" there rides)

I agree, luckly he didnt stop at primer with the paint. That would have been more economic. Too.

A few reasons. The first was so that the front of the truck didnt have a knee catcher. We thought that if the they were in use it would be during recovery, so them being lower would give it more lift. but probably the biggest thing was when tieing them in to the brackets if they were welded to the face there would not have been enough room between the tab and the 2.5" tube to make a solid weld. I don't foresee them providing any clearance issues unless they'd snag on something, but if there were the case I think it would be beyond the capabilities of the truck. Those are ledge grabbers for sure on rocks. There probably fine on soft terrain. Those will hamper a climb well before its beyond the rigs ability. Bumper does look good.

Getting some sun

If i had to pick one it would be first option. Myself.....i would keep the ones on it! Get spacers, trim minor, run washers....anything to keep the clean "factory" look you have going!

She sits on her own weight. Tear fown for powder soon. She is almost done!!

Exxon hit it on the nose. I know it only seems minimum, but it gave mr 2 inches on each side. So 4 inches overall will be worth the work and make a noticable difference in stability, bed space, and overall drivability both on and offroad.

Haha, they fit a hanson front bumper on the rear of it.

Be a pretty modern interior and should swap into our MJ's if you could get ahold of one.
