I see what you are saying on the body and weight, but if you add an exocage you may not bend and scrape body panels but you will be on your side alot faster because of it. I definitely don't feel the size disadvantage as much, but then again look at my front ARB and the tubes are gouged up pretty good from running into ledges and rocks. The same goes for the rear bumper and lower quarter panels. I figure once I trim up the rear quarter panels and add some totally tubular protection I'll just bash on that and be fine with it.

So are you keeping it, or still for sale?

Keeping it!
Im probably gonna get a bender soon and re build a new bumper out of tubing and increase the 1/4 protection, so if you know anyone who might be interested in buying my bumper.
Aside from that...Im just gonna wheel it, enjoy it and not be so concerned about what is hitting where. It'll get banged up and when that happens, Ill chop and or repair as needed.

What rear axel are you considering?
I read a little bit about you break in the 60's forum.
I assume youre ready to wheel again? Lets GO!
