Looks awesome.

Stupid question: Why does the spare tire mount need to lift up like that?

I don't know how that thing could be more sexy. It looked great before but I'm diggin all the tube work front to back. The bumper all the back to your tire carrier set up. :cool)
Can't wait to see it on the trails (or in the air :) real soon


Thanks Mike.

I am back but I leave again next week for another three months. I got a little wheeling in while I was back though. I want to get one more run in next week.

How are you?

Thanks Broken,

Not really, just be patient with your cuts and realignment and it'll save alot o work later.

Are you military? If so? Thanks for your service.

Sick work as always Sy. Yours has to be one of the cleanest trucks with the most work done to it in town.

Man that thing is amazing. Welders and benders are expensive, but well worth it when you see a rig like yours

OK a few updates;

some on here were kind enough to swap lenses for drinkables so I did a repair;

Well on the 4th I clipped the passenger lense on Turtle Creek fall that super glue fixed and I had gotten that corner in Parker too.

Yesterday, after a customer picked up his Jeep, I had some time to I finally did what I had planned all along..... once I ran out of lenses. BAP wants $25 ea for them.

Not a real dovetail but I save prolly 2-4" per side and plastic and rivots are much cheaper than tailight lenses;

Before:



After;
