COLOR! I have been enjoying that conversation. So many options! I was thinking cement as well. Ill have to change directions now! I have gone from Orange to blue, to grey, I change everyother day. Never chosen green, tho. Want to stop these voices in my head and get the paint on!

4x4labs rear bumper, yes? Definitly want one of those!

Yeaa...cool to see a 4x labs rear 55 bumper up close...thats on my list.

So is this being built for someone in particular or just building it and hoping to sell it for what you have in it?

Also I thought you were gonna use more LC style wheels, less blingy. How wide are those tires?

X2000 ... lol yessir, toughest decision on any build !

I see 4X4 Labs removed the rear bumper setup from their website ... assuming they are not selling a lot of these but I bet they'd still make one for us 55 guys if we wanted
I am building this one to keep for a bit and then put it on BAT likely onemanarmy, we will see

I hear ya on the wheel selection, the overall 'look' of this 55 on the outside and inside will be a bit more modernized but not too much, didn't think these were too blingy being satin gold but will hopefully go with the overall look

Believe these are 37/12.5/17's

Cheers

The exhaust route looks like it’s going to be tricky

 

[bobm]

Someone ran theres in front of engine

 

[RUSH55]

Driveshaft on the passenger side and this suspension link on the driver side.

 

[Sheck44]

RUSH, yes you are spot on ... tricky but doable
Pass side will come under and in front of the oil pan with a flex and then connect into the Drive side 2.5" to 3" back

Through the frame sway bar for the win! Pretty sweet idea! Looking forward to seeing how that works out!

Great looking “Y” pipe for the exhaust too. Was gonna hit you up about making a second one, but the shipping would be crazy.
