Looks good. That rear basket isn't gonna survive many trails if you find anything to climb.

What's that cable on its nose?

Very nice.

Have you thought about installing snaps around the rear window opening and using a clear plastic window, like on a wrangler soft top? I'm sure an upholstery shop could fab one up for you, or maybe you could DIY. Just a thought.

love the chop. Never seen one done at OEM height. How strong is that latter setup. When you crawl up there does it flex much?

Limb risers, I had to move the rack back 4inches, so I have to get more cable. The rack is sturdy as hell, two 250 men on top, no flex, nor does the ladder. I am making the back window now.

It's OME not OEM. meaning it has a very small lift, 30's. People give me crap for liking it small.

Looks awesome man! I would just have a rectangle window or one with slight angle to the sides. Great rig though man.

I like your style... unique.

Your fuel/water cans look to be Sceptors? Lay them on their side and reduce a bit of drag/height.
