No, I don't lick fish.
Nothin' wrong with the 4.0/231 setup for sure... but I really hope he does that 5.3/hero swap. That would be best for such a hardcore custom build. At the very least a inline 6 stroker.

got some work done.
first, i got bored and had a pair of JK fenders laying around....so.....
they actually fit pretty well i thought, but i won't be skinning this thing. so maybe it'll give the owner some ideas for the future.
a couple more pictures of the cage
i got the front shock mounts figured out and mocked up. it will get tied into the cowl with a big plate and have a second tube that i haven't added yet come off of it and tie into the stiffeners. so, two stiffener ties, 1 cowl tie, and the cross hoop. should be enough i hope.
because of the hoops, he will be getting a different intake setup. and the battery will be relocated to the back of the cab. or on the back half frame.
got the links setup and built for the 3 link up front. upper link will be gusseted more and tied to the frame rails.

and got the rear setup with the shocks mocked up. and flexed it out to check it out. also tacked on a light he brought me. i don't like how high it sits, so I'm going to lower it to below the roof line .

Great work for sure. I see what you're thinking with those JK fenders. Would look pretty good if you were going to skin it. Great work with the shock and tire clearances too.
