My toy

Got everything buttoned up and painted. Went to put my wheels on and ran into this...

Had to run with wheel spacers in the front still but I'm at 75.5 to the outside of the bulge on the Tires.

Very nice build Nick!!!!! But it looks like the front shaft needs a little love from a rotary file!!!!:awesomework::beer:

I got a rope ordered... so instead of buying a fairlead I made my own and give a little advertisement to Craig over at Ridgeline Motorsports.

My air bump cans will be in next week. I will get those mounted up and maybe borrow a go pro for some testing of them and the new rock assault.

Very nice! Fairleads turned out awesome.

Craig has been awesome throughout my build, great customer service and will for sure hook you up on vendor swag

He is a real good guy! He has helped me out a lot on my build. I think he is just using me for rolling advertisement and testing parts before he buys them for his rig.
