I was lucky I got a set made up before school got out. Could have gone a LOT better, they don't fit quite right and I still have to get em painted

That's all 11g, the tube bender I used messed up my slider something fierce.

That's a wicked idea

First off awesome build! And second I run a high pressure nitrogen bottle for my Oba. Runs impact, airs my tires up plenty. And isn't much to fill at all. And last a long time at around 2500-3000 psi. And that's a 40 cu yard bottle.

The bottles rated for up to 5k tho so I feel safe. And it helps that I have it hella secured! And mounted so that it can't possibly move, or nothing can hit it.

Got another question. What do you do about the front fenders? I know you have to cut them but what keeps them from just flapping around or are they stiff enough with the other mounts they have in the door jam area
