nice jobs guys, I like it.

Looks good, I would have liked to have seen the rear cab roof bar bent to match the roof line just for aesthetics. I don't know how much that would affect strength though.

More or less, I think you would have wanted at least some roof exo bars to create more of a hybrid inner/exo. Unless you don't care about the body if it rolls.

So I added a fuel cell and some bed sides they are not done yet going to try to make them adjustable so if i deside to go on some forest roads I may be somewhat legal
It will have a removable bumber with some mud flaps also removable fender flairs.
Any input would be great if anyone has done something like this
thanks :redneck:

that looks good dude
with some fine tuning it could be hella tight

DO NOT use those 1/8th tabs to hold the cell in place. Either tig on some 1/4 underneath them or have the cell sit in a 'pocket' and strap it down.

My 2 cents

My 2 cents

it has already been reinforced
the stock tabs on that cell arent even 1/8 theyre like 1/16
but now it has a full length piece of 1/8 tigged to the bottom

Nice, Those tabs are more of a guideline than anything else.
