your work so far looks great!
any thoughts on adding wheels spacers, or going with a different offset to help fill the wheel wells under those massive flares??? Hoss

its actually not as bad as the pictures make it look. but i already have wheel spacers on it. the guy im building it for wanted to make sure the tires were under the flares so as long as he is happy im happy. but i agree if it was mine i would have used wide tracks or just not run fenders at all

So I am big fan of the build you got going here, everything is looking great and the customer should be happy. I just got a couple of questions, where did you get the switches (air compressor, lockers, lights, etc)? Also I know it is a little late for this, but would it have not made more sense to switch the location of the switches with the radio, or is that the look you (or the customer) where going for. I mean it looks good but I would think you would be playing with the radio more than the various switches. Still a great build though.

Crockett I see what your saying about not being able to access the switches, that could be an issue. But at least the radio has a remote so it should not be to bad. Oh and thanks for the link

so can we get a final BOM/spec sheet for everything this has on it? Its been a while but I seem to remember this build had some changes made along the way from the original layout...or maybe I'm confusing it with one of the other amazing build threads on here

lights on rollbar and the tube doors seem useless to me, i would have gone full doors or nothing (and like the chances of "falling out" are decreased with tube doors) also like the exaust, good job.
want to come over and work on my jeep? |
