Looks like it is a much more capable trail rig now. Great job!

Just lay out some sheet metal on top of yours and make your on. I know how much you love sheet metal work!
Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
where does the exhaust exit? I have flipped rear springs and getting it snaked out the side instead of straight back (so the exhaust does not get sucked back in the cab) is challenging. Not sure if I have room to snake it between the spring hanger and the tire so I am considering going over the frame rail.

Mine goes straight out the back and is bent down towards the ground. I didn't have any issues with it on Monday but I haven't put my soft top on yet to see if that changes (as far as it getting sucked into the cab and trapped).
You're right, there's not really a good spot to put it. Especially with large tires and frame tie-in's for the cage (which i need to do soon).
that is kind of how mine is now with a slight kick to the corner. I had it angled more, but it melted my shackle bushing. It is not too bad for a de-smogged vehicle and even less noticible with the soft top on.

Anytime. My fenders were not really worth saving. They didn't look to bad from a distance but they had a bit of bondo on them. The PO loved that stuff!
