Beautiful rig. Can you get some pics of the roof rack mounts? Interesting idea.

The mounts are aluminum speed rail from McMaster Carr connected to soft top rails. Only for lightweight stuff like surfboards.

Those power steering hoses look like an accident waiting to happen.

Nice build. Not a restore, but a nice build. I agree with @Redgrrr , those PS hoses need to be shortened and tucked up out of harm's way.

How long ago was the rebuild?

I agree will zip tie them out of the way!

Good point on the build vs restore changed the post accordingly

Those shackle angles are odd. Back angles seem inward, maybe it's the picture. Power steering set up is jacked for long term HD use. No supporting plates welded on, box too far forward, hoses a hazard and a nice slice in the bumper to accommodate.
Cool that it's an all aluminum body, that's not cheap and a nice selling point imo. Not sure if you'll get asking price, with no matching hardtop. Market will dictate your selling price, it's a good time to be a seller!
