Oh I have no problem hacking off sheet metal to stuff some bigger meats under there. The rear tires already rub from a slightly sagging rear end.

x2 on that one. i can't wait to get bigger tires on mine so I can start trimming away! Plus I really like that paint job going all the way up to the highest bodyline, I plan on doing the exact same thing, except I'm gonna use bedliner. How does that hammered finish paint hold up on the trail?

i love the hammer finish paint on the trails held up well so far and if you do put a scratch or 2 into it just spray and its fixed. looks a lot better then it did before i painted it.

i had a spare on mine but the welds broke right off because there were no gussets. i just haven't had time to run it to a local welder and get it fixed (JCR is covering the cost to have it fixed because they said it was a flaw on their weld)
