that's all looking very tidy. Looking forward to seeing the final YT video walk around clip :)
 
Hey @aausmana - what kind of spacers are you running to push your wheels/tires out?
 
@NLScooby , Ive got a set of Spidertrax that I need to sell. If you decide to go the spacers route, please let me know!
 
Wow, I can't wait to see this beast all buttoned up.
Thanks @Sinister! Will post some more up today.

I have a set of the Spidertrax 1.25" spacers found here.

Nice, these are the ones I use and are probably the best out there. @NLScooby if you are looking for a set, can't go wrong.
 
From there we started mounting the front. It took three of us to align the mounting and gold it up while 2 bolts were attached through the bottom. The front then went on easily and then time for wiring the winch up.

About to put the winch line on the hyster for as much tension as we could get.

I am still AMAZED at how tight the lines of the front bumper are. The amount of clearance and approach gained is massive.

What is the bracket attached to the rear bumper, just below the taillight?
 

What is the bracket attached to the rear bumper, just below the taillight?

Are talking about the bracket attached by two bolts in the above picture? If so, the left side is the fuel filler neck and cap for the transfer fuel tank, and the right side is the connection point where I connect a hose and feed it into the factory gas filler neck to fill the factory fuel tank. Hope that helps.
 
Ah ha. Very cool. Man, everything they have fabbed looks great.
 
Front bumper looks incredible

Thanks, Andrew!

Holy crap. Everything looks awesome. I'm very jealous of that front bumper.

Thanks, atx! :)

Thanks, Alex!

They spent many hours on this bad boy and I am really happy with everything. They also spent many hours asking questions and listening to what I wanted. You will see these come to market soon.
 
Wow- that front bumper is amazing.
I'm starting to think that the name "Bear" might have to be changed to something more sinister like "Vader" or "@ss-kicking-mo-fo".... Just suggestions off the top of my head. ;)

third photo down theres a led cube on your hood up by the pillar - is that going to be mounted there or just sitting there to be placed somewhere else?
thanks

Hahaha, I thought of changing it, but I like the cheesiness factor, call our dogs Bear (family tie), and a bear can be restrictive yet aggressive. Still considering a name change but will be hard to just get away from it. Always open to hearing suggestions! :)

@Willy beamin Yep, that's a Rigid D2 Driving which is attached to Ditch Light Brackets from CBI, those will definitely stay there and will be more visible in upcoming photos.
