what is the dimension from the bottom part of your bumper to the top of the flat section? basically the top to bottom dimension minus the hoop.

thanks

Look man you had me stop at this point and well should have been well before this and the teardrop trailer. I should have just stopped at your wifes new XJ!!! Those who have said it already you have some serious handywork. I can't even fathom the thought of building that teardrop and your dedication to quality. I'm super in love with this buggy build and now you got me wanting one. Sadly you rolled it on the next photo lol but wow!!! I still have to go through the rest of your build but damn!

Assuming as I read further and now making a edit that your rollover didn't do any damage thanks to the rollbar?

I left for a long time after it was sold, and quit as a moderator. I sneak back in here every now and then, all the old timers are gone though.

Thanks man, yea it lived on but is now being parted out. I'm switching gears and I'm going into more of an overlanding thing for awhile. My life needs less wheeling trips and more adventuring and traveling as I get older... Most of everything from "The Jank" is going into this little MJ project of my brothers. A driver/wheeler, We all went to the big side now were scaling back to jeeps we get to enjoy more.

We are getting the same Jon. Heading more for overlanding with the ability to camp anywhere we want. Changing engines and what not so we can have decent milage for those long trips
