Looks great! It's come a long way since I last saw it at Redcone. Only question is this: Why didn't they tie in the stinger to the radiator hoop? Hopefully it would never happen, but if you got to that point with too much momentum, I see the stinger just folding in to the hoop and hood...

Ha, yeah it has come a long way since then.

I was thinking about tying the stinger to the hoop but I liked the way this looked better. I know its not as strong this way but I noticed other aftermarket stingers had a similar setup so I figured why not.

Hows the axle decision coming on your rig?

Did the lights help out any? If you need help finishing up the wiring, we need to adjust your headlights... I can almost guarantee they are way off.
