Sexy jeep man! Deff alot of work put into it.
Are you going to put tube on the fender flares? They look clean as is.

I am going to have to steal the slider/wheel well idea, like everything else on the jeep its simple and clean.

Is it steel or aluminum for your body panel guards? what gauge?

I still love this thing...so clean and nice. I wish I had the patience for that caliber of work.
