now that's some nice carnage right there!!! so would you honestly say that the extra money for the ironrock kit over the RC kit was worth it? i'm stuck with it right now!!!

do you have any pics of the rear lower quarters were there cut off i like the look but not sure how much is involved in doing it i would assume you would have to reweld new sheet metal to close off the outer skin to the floor

i can honestly say i have no idea. i have never experienced a rough country lift. all i know is the iron rock offroad is deffinitely a nice rock crawling kit that is also great for the street. its a great kit all around. and 1600 bucks right now. thats still on the cheaper side of the lift kit world

i can get some pics. its simple. i just went crazy with the grinder and sawzall, then made some vertical cuts to fold the inner sheet metal and outer together. then bent it and riveted it into place. very simple. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...light=cut+fold

yep. thats my bone. i still had the top joint of my finger, and the doctor cut that bone all the way down past the joint to fold the skin over it. he used some bone cutters that looked like wire cutters and blood squirted all over him when he was cutting it. it was awesome.

we painted my buddy's toyota OD also. he didnt sand or even tape. just held up cardboard to what he didnt want painted. it still came out pretty good, and about a day faster than mine since i had a lot of sanding and bondo work.
