bumpers are done just decided to have just a stinger for now.front  rear(backside)  started to make a trailer to haul my comp truck! found a sheet of metal that was the perfect size and just started to box it in! thats all ive gott done so far. i am gonna finish the axle mounts and trailer hitch tomarow. iam gonna most likely have tlt tires as the tire and wheel combo fir the trailer.     |

still need to lower it a bit more and your front axle appears to be on a pretty extreme angle that will affect your turning radius

You're off to a good start. One suggestion, I'd recommend getting rid of the rear coil springs. They are at a bad angle because of all the tilt you have in the rear axle. If you went to coilovers in the rear I think it would end up being more stable and drive better. The front coil springs look like they will work fine. The green looks good. Similar to the green/white top FJ-40 my dad had when I was growing up. |

I think you should put a tire rack on the trailer and then you will have plenty of spares! |
