Dude, this is a kickass build considering all the stuff you took to make the bumper and roof rack. Thats some ingenuity, and its looks good too. Love the ninja turtle diff covers 
! Though, if i were you, id cut all that extra U-Bolt off.

Looks awesome!
I give you some mad props for using the things you had at home, and the bumper and roof rack both look great!
Also did you paint those diff covers??

I thought it was a joke when you posted all the things you used with pictures. One of the funniest posts I have seen especially since you actually made good lookin stuff from it haha

thanks guys... i wasn't expecting this positive of a response... yeah I bet those differential covers will make little kids (and their moms 
) and 20 year olds smile/laugh...
Yeah i painted both the roof rack and diff covers pretty much the same way, blue painters tape an exacto knife and rustoleum...
yeah i gotta cut those U-bolts... I was just making sure that the rear didn't sag and then need to throw another leaf under there...
also I heard that I should taper the ends of the leaf springs and make them rounded (OEM style) instead of a sharp edge, it eases the pressure on the leaf above it or something like that... but if you buy lift packs they are blunt edged... so i don't know which way is right...
