Ha thanks everybody, it was a TON of work but totally worth it! Its pretty Sad when a little Jeep is wider then the fullsize truck towing it! I just bought some 2013 Cummins head lights and will be making a custom front end for this pig with these lights along with some tube fenders and a cage. Will be starting it this weekend and aiming to be finished and street legal by the end of march, so get a good look at it because it won't look even close to how it does now! Thanks for all the comments, its nice to know I built something badass.
