Ok I got a few things done today, I was tired of my lipo rubbing my body so I actually trimmed the vertical supports to bring the COG lower and help it clear the body I liked how it turned out.





I got my sliders today as well and I love em, gotta love axialjeepsters work @ Bent Metal Works I've had him built alot of goods for me even truggies and he does quality work, I like the fit.





I also got my exo light bar mounted up, I didn't like the way it just sits so high on top of the cage from the factory mounting surface so I mounted on the windshield frame for a more prerunner look, opinions??

Well I got my over and unders yesterday and also my gripfab spools as well, damn these are sweet! Mocked em up and loved the fit, the spools come with stainless hardware and the over and unders are a flawless fit, and right after the pic i stuffed that pocket the spools left open with r2j rock lube and sealed em up, they roll smooth as buttah! "Thumbsup"

Enough chit chat here's some pics!
