Got a couple of loose ends to tie up, but this is done. Ordering some new shocks once I get measurements.

It hangs even with the bottom of teh diff if that tells you anything.
Its because the spare is located in the floor of the cargo area above the tank.
Cut that spare holder out, and chop the mounts for the tank..and you gain about 8 inches

Ordered a set of shocks from rustys. I got the RX11's. They're 17 something collapsed and 29 extended. A little longer than I need, but should work well with the hoops and allow for more down travel with the leaves. I was going with bilsteins but these are cheaper for the mean time and the only other thing I could find in the right height.

They have a killed warranty.
I've heard of people blowing them out on jumps... but with the right valving I bet they would serve ya well

I told the guys at work I was going to get FOA's, they started laughing at me. So I spent more and got what I really wanted anyway.
I really wish I had your tank and hoop setup, but I don't need it yet.
Looking very good tho, what's next?

I'm still up in the air.
Not quite sure. I'd like to upgrade my steering, but I don't know if I want heims, UTK, OTK or what, and I don't want to spend a bunch only to go tons, so bleh. Thinking about a starter pre fabbed cage and adding to that.

After this weekend i have a small list of stuff i would like to do before Windrock in about 4 weeks. I need to get some heat shielding stuff to deal with the heat issue on the rear passenger side of the floor- i melted my tarp to the floor... I'd like to re work my exhaust and the hangars for it, build a false floor with my sheet metal i have left over for storage, build tail light boxes, check all the fluids and diffs again, and get a more suitable trail tool box and storage solution for my new CO2 tank. I need a regular and all that for it. Oh, and change my CB mount... again...
Pics from gulches:
Lol at Andy
That rear tire was about a foot off the ground from what it looked like at the top
I dented my front and rear bumpers and broke my caox cable within the first hour i was riding. Broke a mirror and slid on my rain gutter on heartbreaker too.
Apparently i dented it enough to bend the whole thing to the drivers side about an 1/16-1/8" and back into the passenger fender. It was right to the outside of a gusset. I guess it hit pretty hard lol.
I also landed on the drivers side slider hard enough to bend the outer lip up into the doors when they open, so thats good.
