Totally worth paying the extra 250 to have these trimmed for you. Mine took me like 3 days with a ton of Sawzall blades and cut off disc's. Was before I had a plasma and a portaband.
The winch itself shouldn't sit any higher than the alt. If I really needed to I could move the bolt on mount to sit under the lower rail instead of on top but from the looks of it as it is everything should fit with some trimming of the plastic bits on the grill.
Im planning on cutting the grill/hood down and doing a dove nose. The shock mounts will have to stick out through the hood. I'm not sure yet if I ll modify the stock fenders or if I'll just make my own.
Ive been waiting 2 weeks now for usps to delivery my rear coilovers which has held me up a bit.
Sorry the delay in updates. I got the rear 4 link setup just waiting ony rear coilovers. Should be here any day. I picked up a set of 2.5x16 Kings off of Dezert-Rangers forum.
I also got the seat mounted, steering wheel/colum setup, and the orbital valve mounted. Which I forgot to grab a...
Yeah who am I to come in here and hurt your feelings with facts.
There's a name for this. When you attack the individual instead of refuting their point.
The funny thing about that is: the Blue States have funded the Red states for decades (the prime source for this information since the 1980s was the think-tank The Tax Foundation who saw that no Red State was going to pay their own way after 2006 so they stopped collating the info on their web...
I also decided on the rear setup. I originally wanted to run Ruff Stuffs dual shock trailing arms. After talking to Beerj about it on here I decided running a trailing arm that hangs down isn't in my best interest.
I didn't want to spend what BKOR is asking for their arms so I decided to make...

The front 4 link came together pretty easy. Right now everything is just tacked together. I flexed it out a little bit to make sure the driveshaft has room but it started to slide around on the jack stands so I'm going to wait til I get the rear tacked...
Finally decided on a seat. I went with the RS-PT2 by OMP Racing. They're an Italian motorsports company with a US division.
The reason I went with these is they're FIA rated, super light at 10lbs/ea, removable cushion and cover, hans compatible, affordable, and they were in stock.
I am a big...
Didn't get a whole lot done with the rainny weather we've had here.
I knocked out the door bars, dropped the cage and welded the top. Made some changes to the front end for more clearance where the drive shaft and upper links will be.
Using an adapter from Offroad Design I got the np205...
Thank you for posting this. Awesome build. I wanted to keep my build "street legal". I was going to copy this steering setup but yours looks like it would handle even better.
