That is just awesome! Congrats on what you have accomplished so far! I've got some serious diesel envy going on.
 
Looks great Joel! Your doing some amazing work! However after much though, i have decided it would probably be in your best interest to sell me the ARB front bumper to offset that wimberley bill a little. Jk! I really like that bumper. I might have to put an ad up in the wanted section. If you don't mind me asking what'd you give for it? A left nut?
 
THx guys I still building more as I go... Got me a pile of parts to put on it still :D

Ok your too late now it's on now :p


The top brace hit the 60 steering box t wonder if it's ok to share a bolt on em . I could easily grind the bar some and put a longer in

I'm sure it would be okay. Could you take some pics of how it is mounted so I can get an idea. It looks good by the way!
 
Well the box is mounted to 1/2 in plate welded to the frame and taped. The stock shock mount was removed and replaced with Furd shock tower

Ok got the Smitty center console in and found out one of my seats was missed boxed LoL ... And I'm wondring ... Does it looks dumb so tall it's super comfy... Should/would you remove the heater to lower it... I live in south Texas so I really only need it maybe 3 weeks out of the year tops.

Nice console mate! I have a 40 mm ammo can ready for install when it comes that time. That console seems pretty high up though. Is there anyway to offset that? I imagine in order to do so you would have to raise the seats? I know your a short guy so that might not be a possibility : )

Anyways, I think I'm moving forward with the the roof rack build. Decided to buy a 16 ton hydraulic bender and going tomorrow to Alamo Iron Works to pick up what metal I believe I might need. Could use your help with the welding and design.
 
Better pic of the bumper ... I love the looks of the old school ARB

Thx man, I have to remove the heater to lower it and I'm kinda thinking about it. Let me know on the rack we can get it going easy ... I think we should wait till the snorkels get on thought ;)

your right arm is going to hate you with that center console. Don't know what to tell you about it.
